Mira ze Téméraire, repost

Better pic (I hope), so maybe I'll grab the opportunity to give a few details on the work herein. First off, to get that out of the way, Photoshop editing was limited to levels and the little bit of text. Conversion : I had bought two (2) Shanys - you kow, the limited edition you couldn't get your hands on - and, I must admit, miserably failed in my attempts to paint her. So I thought what the hell, I may as well use her kewl-looking blades. And there we are. Minor sculpting required, glue as well as possible, and we're good to go. Painting : -There are no metallics here, everything is NMM, or SENMM, which I kind of find fun and not too badly executed, but I'm definitely not a threat to Arjay yet. -The gem was done with the traditional technique, it's really easy to do and draws the eye away from less flattering areas :D There are a few others but you can't see them on the pics. -I'm very happy with the face and blending on the skirt, so smooooth. -Finally, the base was painted in faux-marble (I *hope* you noticed by yourself) following Laszlo's technique. I hope I spelled that right. Matte finish on the mini, gloss on the base. So there. I wonder how the rating will compare to the older pic... :muses:

(parce que je l'ai vue pour de vrai) I really have to say I'm impressed. You started painting a year ago, and look at you now! You really improved fast. I always admire your details, they are far thinner than mine. Great base (wow, the guy who gave you the idea sure is a good friend), althought it doesn't seem like you used your varnish... The only minor thing I'd complain about is that ther should be a little black ligning between gold and SENMM. Now I have to work hard to improve my technique. Chapeau bas. PS: fais gaffe au transport maintenant ;)

Definitely your best achievement to date! Great job on the SENMM and the base is good as well! However, because you did such a great job on you sky-earth on the gold and chrome armor, your blades that dont follow seem out of place and, dare I say it, incomplete. Perhaps if you utilized the chrome technique you sis so well on the blades as well?? :)
