Visions in Colour # 9 entry
Well this is my VIC#9 entry. It’s my first entry into the ‘Miniature-Painting.Net’ competitions but it won’t be my last. This is one sweet mini and my admiration of Werner Klocke’s sculpting skills is going up all the time. The first time I saw the ‘green’ for this I was struck by the atmospheric look to the whole mini. It was a joy to paint despite a couple of near misses with dropping the mini; fortunately, there was no damage done, either time. Technically, it has been painted with Games Workshop, Foundry, Vallejo and Winsor & Newton’s paints. There are no inks used and the parts I’m most please with are (in no particular order) the Woodwork, the Trousers and the Knives. Regarding the face, I deliberately left it slightly paler than I would normally have done as I thought this character had either an Elven look to him, or a pinched, determined, slightly grim face. The Building I painted to match a daubed Tudor style house I’d recently seen and the roof tiles were painted to match old & worn Cedar shingles. (I obviously watch way too much “This Old House with Steve Thomas & Norm Ahbrams”!) Hope that you like this picture and as always your comments are appreciated.
