WotC Hill Giant
This is an older paintjob and one of the first minis I tried to use all techniques (shading, hightlighting, washes and drybrushing) I've found in books about miniature painting or on websites. But I know that I still have some problems e.g. with fur, it looks mainly the same all the time although I tried to paint different kinds of animal hide. After some very helpful critiques by members of the 'Mini- Painter'-mailing list I did some rework on this miniature. First I tried to improve the contrast of the fur. I'm not fully satisfied with the result but it was hard to do a good job because this figure consists of two main body parts wich I painted seperately at the first time. Now I wasn't able to reach all parts of the miniature without breaking it (something I wouldn't do). Second I did some rework on the skin, adding some darker shades and improving the overall contrast as well. The last thing I did to this miniature was to cover the teeth and skulls with a wash of light brown. Sven "Vulture" Wichert Comments are very much apprechiated ;)
