Eh Gads!

Now I see it up close on the screen I think it's atrocious, he looks like something out of a frankenstien movie

Now now, don't be harsh.

Close-ups like that just show how it is and most of us know it looks better in rl than on the pic.

This looks like ... I don't know what.

And it seems you've done better than the sculptor! Unless it was sculpted by you

no worries man - minis always look worse on pics than in reality

I suppose your all right as there's barely enough room to get the brush in let alone blend anything

and no I didn't sculpt it although I wish I had as I would have put the hat on after the face was painted

I think I'll give his face a quick touch up to hide the black stuff then call it quits on that, next big task is to paint the underside of his hat without fudging the face up completly

Update Time: Even though I feel like crap and have Lava Monsters fighting to get out of my bum I thought I'd do a little painting and took some picutres, apologies if I'm going slow but I'm still learning the ropes and am trying out lots of new techniques (well they are new to me

).

1st an update on the wizard cleaned and have now undercoated...

I think he just needs another layer of white and he's ready for some colour

however I'm not sure is I should do something about the pitting in the metal first though :thinks:

OK so now onto the Sea Elf, I have gone over his face and torso with some highlights so I hope there are no unplesant suprises with the skintones of the pictures

I hope you can see the difference in the eyes, it's no longer Adam Ant in tight trousers

And one from the back...

Now when I came to paint the torque black in readyness for a gold drybrushing I noticed something wrong with the elf's shoulder and I wonder if I shouldn't try and do something about it before I carry on or should I just ignore the imperfection and concentrate on the paint job?

Here's the bit outlined in a red splodge...

Anyway that's all I've done for now so I hope you can give me some good pointers in my techniques that need working on

what do you mean by imperfection? that darke splotch showing through skin layers?

Post by **Demi_morgana** » 6 Mar 2009, o 09:30

as for me skintone looks fine

The mark in the middle of the red splodge is a crease in the shoulder muscle, I though it would go away when I painted it light but the shadows just make it look like a piece of steel girder

at least through my head magnifiers it does

the dark mark you see is shadow and not paint!

Thank's Demi

but I fear my repair to the shoulder area might wreck the whole job :suicide:

I don't think it's that noticeable going by the picture. The color seems consistent with the rest of the piece.
