This was one of my entries for the australian + new zealand GD 06. I was fortunate enough to win the gold in the LOTR single mini category with him.
It was good to paint another LOTR mini finally - I painted lots of them a few years ago because I am a huge tolkien lover haha, but it had been a while since my last...Aragorn is one of my favourites, especially in the 'strider' stage like this mini, so I thought it would be fun to paint him for GD! I tried to paint him as authentically as I could to match the movie - I had the fellowship DVD paused on heaps of scenes on my computer as I painted haha, to try to match the colours and so on. I also tried to use a more natural painting style, rather than a more fantasy style, to try to obtain some more realism. Therefore, he is quite dark and sombre - as he is in the fellowship movie I think.
I hope you like him - there are more pics, better quality and larger, on my site.

thanks so much everyone, for the kind comments! I'm so glad that you like the mini. prawnpower - yes I see what you mean, it looks from the back like there is no blood on the underside of the sword haha - but yeah you are right, it must be a lighting thing, because there is blood the same on both sides of the sword in real - weird that it doesn't show in the pic...oh well! -sebastian |

Had tio think really hard about this one. Think I really want to give it a 9.Something  I can make out some of the weathering and I'm sure if I saw it in the flesh so to speak I'd probably be amazed.
One thing I was unsure of though is that the rear views make it seem that the blood effect on the sword is only on the top edge. Is this just alighting thing? |

I really like this mini. I havent seen you paint a LOTR mini to competion standard before, so this is something different. It has opened my eyes to a world of really nice minis that generally never get painted. Inspirational to me. I want to watch the film now....................:0 | |
