Hi all!
Here is my last painted miniature, a very special piece for me, because it's my fist Rackham miniature (fell in love with those great sculptures just few months ago), my first feminine one and my first gift... yeah, this work now belong to my mother, she was really happy for the present, and all the work spent on this mini is worth the satisfaction
I tried to give to the model (one of the best ever seen by style) a "natural feeling", with less saturated tones (almost all the colours have a grey part inside) and no special effects. I tried to make flesh and the skirt the eye-catching parts of the miniature. The freehands are inspired by the amazing Rackham works of Arkaal and Automaton... but mines are far more bad hehe.
I'm sorry for the bad pictures, the final pose didn't help much for that... if you want to see more details and close-ups of the painting process please check my WIP thread on 000: http://www.triplozero.com/viewtopic.php?t=794

thanks for your attention, feel free to comment my miniature, everything that can help is well accepted ^^
ciao!

Hello KDar, It's always a pleasure to see one of my sculpt ( made in collaboration with Aragorn Marks ) painted, in this case very well painted! Bravo! I specially like the light and shadows! M.

Hey, thanks to you all for your kind comments! I know the sword is not so good, I usually make great contrasts with NMM, and sometimes they don't fit with the details. In the bottom part of the blade there's a bit of higlight but not effective enough I guess. About the skirt, what would you suggest to improve it, Landreth? I would be very grateful to receive some tips from you. thanks again

What a beautiful paintjob for this beautiful mini! Congrats, my friend, you have really done a good job. There is something that prevents me from considering it plain perfect, unfortunately I can't tell you what... Perhaps something on the sword or something in the way you've done the design on her robes... The flesh and the transitions are TOP NOTCH though!

Armor is really good, and skintones too. But sword and skirt ruins this mini.

A real eye catcher, the blues work wonderfully in contrast to the warmth of the flesh. Blending is top drawer, my only reservation is the sword detailing, around the hilt is mainly flat (although perhaps a photo issue) with no apparent 'hotspots', I would have expected some considering how the light falls on the rest of the figure. Simple base compliments the work well. Bravo

Decisamente questi voti devono volare!!! Superbo orientamento delle luci e rapporto chiaro scuro tra i dettagli di colore diverso. L'incarnato č molto saturo in foto ma penso che non sia una cattiva idea per attirare l'attenzione (come se ce ne fosse bisogno con quei dirigibili). E il blu? Mi sono giā espresso. Ti darei un -1 per il peccato di modestia sui freehand. Non sarā la sistina ma per quello che devono rappresentare sono perfetti. E ricorda che non sono molto attratto nč da rackam, nč dal NMM. Quindi il giudizio vale di+. Bravo.
