Air Elemental Scion

Cool mini to paint. I think he has a Jason Mamoa vibe going on.

Great job on this guy, he really is a fantastic model and you've done him justice! The turquoise smoke is very cool and the NMM is perfect. 🙂

Great job on him!

Great paint job.  It’s a little odd that his skirt scales go up not down.  Never noticed that about the sculpt before.

[Glitterwolf]

Breath taking!

This is a professional job!

[Fencig]

really beautiful, a treat to look at

Thank you!

 

Yes, the scales threw me and I wasn't sure what to do with them. So I just chose a color and went with it!

[Grand Slam]

Yeah, the nmm (and the jewels on the wrists) are great. Excellent skin-tone and overall color composition, too. Beautiful piece

You've done it again, absolutely stunning.  Can't wait to see your take on the earth scion.

 

Do you have any tips for getting for the skintone?  My highlights tend to accidentally take everyone a bit too Caucasian.

Gorgous - all those colors are so rich and shaded and that skin!

Thank you! I painted the earth scion. Maybe I didn't post photos here.

For skintone, if you are having trouble with darker skin turning out too light, make sure you are choosing darker, richer colors for the skin. After highlighting, I go back with either my midtone or my first shadow color and glaze over the whole skin. It really helps smooth the blends and ties all of your skin colors together. Do a light glaze so you don't totally kill your highlights or muddy it up. You can always glaze more if needed.

A truly fantastic figure and good tip for the skin tones, thanks!

Fantastic!

[Krassling]

Great Lighting!

[Rigel]

Magnificent highlighting! His turban really pops.
