01-106c Half-elf

[Geoff Davis]

This figure has been on my shelf of shame for a long time.  I think I got him around 1985.  He' s been started and then stripped at least once since then.  I consider him finished, and he won't be glued to a base.  The base reads "Ral Partha 1979". 

 

38 projects left on my shelf of shame.

Beautiful job on this old classic! The face and the gems are top notch! This is a small figure as well so extra points for that! Can’t wait to see your other 38 when they get finished!

Absolutely stunning!

[DanH]

This is so enjoyable, I just want to comment on it twice!  Question, for his cloak, did you get the impression that it was feathers, armor, or something different?

Looks amazing!

I decided it was meant to be scales.  He is holding a sea shell in his hand and has a brooch that looked like a whale tooth.  That is why I chose the sea blue colours with the warm red-orange cloak to make the contrast in the blues feel deeper.  The orange cloak also helps the orange gems pop out more.  

 

Thanks for you question and positive comments!

I need to paint a figure for someone in my game group who has CryoHydra armor (offers protection from cold) from a Cryo Hydra that we killed and dressed and then paid to have her armor custom crafted.

 

I am bookmarking this because it is EXACTLY what i hope my armor will end up looking like

 

Thanks for the inspiration!

The colors are really nice, not going to lie

I'm trying to get better at colour selection so thanks very much.  I'm using a colour wheel to help guide my decisions.

Your color wheel seems to be doing the trick! Keep using it!

If you feel like having some fun, google Sessions College Color Calculator.  It's a digital color wheel that helps select all sorts of different color harmonies.

Pretty good.  Down to only 15 projects as of the start of June.  I'm focussed on all new projects now though.  No doubt the shelf of shame will grow to humongous size again soon.
