AndyG WIP (pic heavy)

[ten ball]

Hair looking great, a tiny, tiny, THIN glaze in the shadows with a red will enrich the yellows in the hair. (go careful)

Err, Australia? Africa maybe.

Hair looks very shiny. If it were me I would leave it until the wings were done.

 

[AndyG]

I like it! Gonna save that

wings yep ok here you go!

Pretty work mate, looking very nice!

Wow, Andy. Each stage is a revelation. This is shaping up to be one of your most impressive works.
Also, I used "devil's dumplings" on the little lady last night... she called me a "17th Century puritan".

Is that not the foundation of your society?

​I never said it was ineffective.

Damn mate there's loads of work there !
Save that last final highlight colour as an ultra fine edge highlight.

Sometimes it really has me taken back how unbelievable and phenomenal what you do with a brush. It's flawless at each stage and then just when you think it's pushed your boundaries...BANG SECOND ENCORE!!!

 

[AndyG]

Thank you very nice comment there BAM.

I have started working on the dress as she's blonde and pale skinned I've gone with a cream linen with a slight sheer effect were it is just one layer and tight to the skin a bit of see through two layers no.

Very nice sheer effect Andy, are you pushing it further or keeping it at this level ?

 

[SaintToad]

​You're banging out some astounding work, Andy. Keep it up!

Love the colours on the wings! they almost look like the real stuff ^^
And the white/pale robes look very good too!

 

[Canny]

[ten ball]

Been busy with family stuff just got back to painting the metal. Helmet done on to armour tomorrow end is in sight another week or so should see this done.

I love the shadows you did on the wings. Really nice color choice to compliment the whites. Looks fantastic!

I keep coming back to the hair though... have you thought about adding some darker shades/shadows near the roots? What you've got is probably more realistic, but part of me would like to see some darker shadows inbetween the strands near where the hair meets the head. I'm not sure if it would help or not, so (as with any advice you get) use your own judgement!

To quote the great Michael Palin. "Beautiful plumage!"

 

[AndyG]

Dunno Bailey I might but when I've done hair before I've done exactly that and it didn't look very good this time I've left it hmm I'll have a think and when I get to the tidy up phase I might do it.

Roughed out the armour bit of glazing to do on it.
