[Maru]

[p1per]

Hmmmmm :/ Any hints on what to change? I don't consider the base as done yet (that water effects stuff is still dryin' anyway).

I was planning on adding some green and brown glazes to the stones and maybe some pigments but I don't really know what else to change or in which direction to go.

ok im far from "base master" title but i know feve things - one of them is that mini should fit base, this applay to concept end colors in your case it is red minature moustly red end over all in warm colors so base should fitthis or be completly reverse to increse effect ... -_-' hard to explain as it is a large area of color / composicion theory .. so let me show you some examples

grey end red - look how strong red color is - he is seting all colors in this picture so human brain consider it as a "color picture" instade what he realy is a 2 color picture

colors vs red - a lot of color but all "tainted by red" to make them fit picture
- red realy reflect natural light in a very luninesnent way so it coloryse evrything in its own hue

completly other thing - red as an accent amongst oposite color green - no way yui will get strongest contrast - this is moust contrasting way - but must be made with this purpose

also look at Ana "Not RED Sonia" minature - whle mini is dominated by RED - lool kow Axe stands out as it is bluish

- another mini - look how reds dominate minarure ..
Well look at My Matropolitan Prophet or Sigvald

[p1per]

Thanks Maru!! I get what you mean maybe it does look better now (pictures are not the best this time)?



I added some pigments and I also had to redo the water so that white stuff in the picture is some Vallejo Watereffects which I just put on. I'll have to see tomorrow how it will look and maybe add a bit more of that stuff.

[Maru]

it looks better

color whise
but ther is another thing - "sand" it is so iven no randomnes
add (or repaint) some of thous rocks to a grey red color to fit the stone wall - as if they wopuld just recently felt on the grouns end if you hava a wood bark you mey create some of shale rock effect on the ground

- very rare in nature you got situacion like this when rocky area just cut off end change to erthy wythout eny erosion

[p1per]

OK here we go. I finally managed to get some free time to pick up the brush again. Not much has been done yet, so far only primed and basecoated, but anyway here's my next mini, Dark Vlad from Enigma.

I also switched to metallics this time.. I wanna give it a try, let's see how the result will look.
