Popular Post Evilhalfling Posted December 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 21, 2021 (edited) This figure was in turn delightful and frustrating this is my best transparent figure so far. According to the geologist @Cyradis the gem shapes most closely match Topaz (blue/orange/yellow) or Tanzanite (violet) So officially this is a topaz - but if I need to use it in a game it could be crystal / sapphire / topaz. The mineral it is sitting on is an Imperial Topaz. the wing patterns were a last minute addition. They took about 4-5 hours, and could use another 2. They have no justification except the rule of cool. Techniques used: mixed blue ink with gloss sealer to increase transparency. Adjusted black lines on wings by scraping them with Xacto knife. added white edge highlights to add definition if the crystal was sticking out, did a thin layer on all the sides and it naturally mimicked real crystal color (ie saturated at tip) C&C welcome !

Peithetairos Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Very nice indeed. You preserved the translucent crytsaline look, but added lots of character with the wings pattern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
