14433: Ursula, Dwarven Bear Rider Captain

It's been a while since I've painted a Reaper miniature, so I thought I would post my latest creation here.

 

 

I had a lot of fun painting this mini - blue is one of my favorite colors to blend with, and I enjoy painting fun hair, like her braid in the back.  TMM was used on the metal.

Beautifully executed. I love it. How do you get your TMM to almost look like NMM? It's very crisp and clean. What's the technique?

[Inarah]

I like the bright blues.

It's actually a very similar technique.  I learned it from Michael Proctor at ReaperCon.  First, base color.  Then shade with a thinned down, very dark color.  Blue Liner in this case.  Finally, highlight by mixing your base color with a bright metal, Vallejo Metal Medium is what I see most people use; I think ProAcryl also makes a pure metal flake.

Awesome!

Both rider and mount look amazing!

[Loim]

Really excellent.

Love this. I had a hard time with my face being squished when I got mine. You have done a wonderful job.

[Darcstaar]

Great job!  Love the hair and freehand accents.

Great job!  I've got the Bones version of this lady and bear, but her face is all smushed up.

Great job! I especially love the dwarf's face and hair, and scale armor and shield!
