77364, Angel of Shadows

[Metalchaos]

Good day everyone, now that the contest is over, here are some pictures of entry in Reaper's Painting Contest #8. Congrats to the winners and all those who participated. I can't wait to see the next model selection. The model is 77364, Angel of Shadows and it's mounted on a 77247, Pillar of Evil both sculpted by Sandra Garrity. The last picture was my entry in the contest, I managed to finish second.

 

I entitled my entry the Angel of Hope. I removed the sword she was holding in here right hand and I carved her finger as if she's pointing the way for the lost souls so they will to turn back to the light.

love the feather detail and the shading on the yellow.

 

what did you use?

[Redd Knekk]

Beautiful all around. I’ve gotten a new appreciation for brown to yellow blending. You are the king at brown to yellow and all the beiges in between.

Great work!

Congratulations on placing.

I love the detail you gave to the feather tips and your OSL.

[Rigel]

Glorious, and ah! bright Wings. The tree is the perfect backdrop.

I used Ink, I base coated the entire model, painted some detail and applied a brown ink wash. I highlighted a few spots with lighter tones of the same colors I used for the basecoat and worked on the final details like the eyes, the feathers tip boots laces. I then applied a light-yellow ink glaze on her left wing, face, dress and stone pillar. At the end, I highlighted the edge of the feathers closer to the lantern.

Ink is a media I just started to use this year and I love it. It was quite a discovery for me who had only washed my models with diluted paint in the past. Ink is something worth trying and it makes a great and inexpensive gift.

Wow!

Stunning work on those wings!

Love the conversion!

Beautiful feathers on the wings and great OSL. The choice of base definitely tells a story with the figure. Congratulations on placing!

That yellow undergown is gorgeous!

Very nice, mounting her on the Pillar is an inspired move.

I was looking for an original promontory for her to stand on, I'm glad you like the idea of the pillar.
