Hello all,

I'll be posting here my WIPs, I love criticism and advice because I want to improve.

Here is my current work in progress:

Beginner's question:

I want to keep the base gammimg-size and I was thinking of using the classic cork layers to simulate rock. In that case how do you fix your metal figure to the cork to make it stable?


Any other comment is well appreciated.

Wow, is that freehand at the bottom of the robe? Nice.

If I HAD to criticize something here, the gold fringe at the bottom of the cape, looks like maybe you put a wash on there and dulled it out a bit much? Could be the lighting though. Hard to tell from that angle. Anyway, great work.

For affixing to a scenic base, try this quick vid.

Hi Flagg, thanks for the reply! .

The robe has a free hand indeed and its the first time I try one. The robe is the most challenging part in this mini. I am no 100% happy with the result but then again, I'm learning .

I don't use washes, the cape needs more work and the light on that photograph is not well placed. I'll fix the cape before the mini is done.

Hello again, I finally went for a rocky basing that I made out of bluetack...

Also I intensified the highlights. I appreciate opinions and advice.

I think it looks great!

Hello all.
.
After some critique I decided to do some changes and adjustments.

1. Eyes
2. Color of the base
3. Hammer's leather hilt.
4. Adjustments here and there...

Let me know what you think, I appreciate advice. Cheers.

I quite like the metallic parts, not a fan of the cloak though.
Red looks flat,you'd definitely have to increase the contrast here. Also, a dark wash to define letters better would be welcome.

I like the gold armor. As for the red, I'll join Nameless there.

Thanks for your comments guys. I agree that the cloak can use more contrast and I didn't think of of using a wash for the letters, nice tip . Will do do both.


Cheers

Ok, I fixed the cloak, and some details here and there. Cheers
