A two year painting gap - before and after

[cjw217]

Hello

I recently picked up the brushes again after about two years of having too many other things to do. Here are the results.

This is the previous model I painted - a Daikinee Elf standard bearer by Rackham (minus the standard):

This is the most recent model I painted - a Daikinee Elf Dream Warrior. Her colour scheme was inspired by this picture.

I'm quite happy with the results. I don't think my skill level has depreciated which is a relief, as I have many other Daikinees to paint, not to mention a mass of figures for the game Hybrid.

I would love to hear comments, criticisms, suggestions, votes etc. Thanks for looking!

Cracking stuff, I'd say you have improved!! Both are nice but I certainly think the second is better, maybe the colour scheme pops more

you have improved... I see that with lots of things, give your body some rest, and the mind some practice.... You'll improve more than when you keep slaving away to learn something

Hmm do this period need to be a certain length. I seem to have a hard time to practice this advice ^even thou there sometimes goes months between painting.

Btw. good work on the new figure, the old one was a little bit lacking in the green areas and brown shield. would have been much better with some more higlights and intermidate colours in it I believe. The new one looks much better.

Well damn! Looks like you've lost nothing in the 2 year hiatus.

Really smooth and colorful. Great stuff.
