The decision on what colour to paint her dragon was a difficult one. Normally I would choose to paint the dragon a subdued red. With this figure being so small I did something a bit unusual and decided to make that dragon really pop by using a bright blue and coral palette. Whilst this may not be the most harmonious choice, it does make the dragon visible.
After looking at the pictures I can see that there are a few areas that need a little more work. When I get to this point with a figure I set it aside for a few days and work on basecoating another figure in order to give my eyes a rest.
The next step is to sculpt the base. Due to her diminutive size in comparison to the rest of the war band, I will have to build a base that elevates her. Myrianna should be complete and ready to post next week.
Oh boy. She looks so nice right now I cannot imagine her finished. She will be a beauty.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few little areas needing work yet.
DeleteThank you Piotr!
I like her face too, dear, because you didn't overdo the makeup :) Looks tender and mild.
ReplyDeleteMewonders if the dragon lays blue eggs too? :)
Blue with pink speckles are those eggs.
DeleteI forgot to tell you that she is an elf. I think that is why she is so much smaller than the other figures. They are Norse so they is much larger.
she does look like one of our Elven species!
DeleteI do have a couple of hot barbarians yet to paint. They will be difficult as they have so much exposed, muscular skin. Unfortunately the is wearing loin cloths, so the best bits are covered :0)
Deleteoh, my, my advice is to find some real muscled hunks as models so that you can see the real deal and transmit it onto the figurines :) I'm sure there are some muscled Hoosier hillbillies walking around farms there
Deletedahlink, missed you on my Birthday on Tuesday :)
DeleteNow that is amazing work Anne, very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you Francis!
DeleteThe highlighting on the dress is stunning, you've taken pink to a whole new level! Beautiful work as always
ReplyDeleteThank you Russ. That took about 30 layers of progressively lighter glazes to do. I'd never tried that technique before-now I know why!
DeleteLovely brushwork, Anne. Impressive as always.
ReplyDelete30 layers of paint to get the dress that way? You are a very patient person! But the end result on the dress is stunning!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see her based!
Greetings
Peter
