Huhh, today only small progres, but it was REAL pain in the ass - the freehand on the bag following the main theme from PC game box Gabriel Knight: The Beast Within. Geeee, I never painted anything sooo small (about 9x6mm) as a freehand. I think it can't be better yet (and with this hands :))), I just need to correct the initials GK - to make it more smooth and not so poppiung out. But not today, I see twice and my hands are shaking :) But while holding the brush, I finished the bag with some decent highlights. As you can see, I removed the shine from base's bevel before today's painting session. I will try to fix this later.

Good job painting the base black. I prefer bases to be separate from models. Some others ( :whistle: ) will disagree...

I agree with mahon, a plain black base looks very good on this mini.I'd leave it like that if I were you.

I have an idea for decent small light effect on the base border, so I will try it. I it won't be good, I still can cover it with black as I did with first try :)

Today/tonight I did some small things on Gabriel and another try on base highlight. It's difficult to make photo, but in real it looks fine. I'll take a look at it few hours later and will see if I keep it or not. Anyway, last W.I.P. photos, hope I can make final photosession tomorrow.

Thanx Demi. This must be different from my previeous works because:
- it's my first time playing with lighting effect :roll:
- it's Gabriel Knight! :dance:

When I'm looking on the photos now, I think I should extend some light on the rocks (left side) towards smaller highlight on base border to make the effect continous and maybe bit darken that small highlight. Let us see what the day will bring...

I'm still not convinced about the lighting effect on the base. And the effect on the hair also looks strange.

But apart from that this is a great mini.

I subscribed to your blog yesterday, too bad I don't Polish :bonk:

To be honest, I don't speak polish too as well. I am slovak (just next to Poland on the map ;)))

:lol:

if light source is lighting the bsae to such extent, it should illuminate Gabriel's clothes and face much stronger, me thinks.
