Chest of Colors forum

Taking opportunity of the fact that grandma came to her grandson, I have a moment to share my latest work:

I started it in 2011, but after many problems with the base and other situations, I managed to finish her. Some of you could see her at Hussar 2012.

I hope to write more on her later, and to post some of my other works to the forum too.

Enjoy

Yes I remember seeing this on your blog long ago, right?

I'm not a big fan of the texturing you did on the cloak, but the colours you used there make it glow somehow, which is cool.

The yellow water also looks strange, have you coloured the resin? Maybe blue was better....

The best part is probably the skintone, fantastic work!

Woah
Love the job - as actually always
Was the sea foam made of vallejo effect?

An impressive work for sure!
I am with Demi too, any tutorial on the water effect?

I asked because it looks like vallejo water effect put on andrea water:
I want to do such thing yet was curious for the final effect

you don't want a tutorial on this water...
you don't want to struggle with it the way we did... and so long... and with so many problems...


hope that Ana will chime in with some more info, but the water was Translux clear resin, not the andrea one (which we learned to regret later). highly recommended by many modellers, but my feelings are not that positive now.
the top layer is some vallejo water effect with some snow/soda for the foam. applied in layers - otherwise it becomes too milky and dries very slowly.

I was actually curious would the border between andrea water and vallejo foams will be seen sharp. It look fine so I will use it on wip project

yup, what he said.
I totally don't comprehend that texturing/highlights on the cloak. so below your level, so out of your style.....
any chance for a back view on that cloak?

Great job, i for once like the cloak it gives that satin look that together with the golden sword makes a the composition (at least to me) fills complete.

The water is great, nice brown bloody and dirty

Is that bad?

yes, considering that the rest of this paintjob is in 'classic Ana' style
