Hi,

I\'d gladly grab some comments on my new mini. I didn\'t post my work for quite some time so here goes the elf.

Fantastic! Lovely smooth blends and I love your NMM. I think the base is very imaginative. Grats :applause:

 

[Naukhel]

Very nice.
But I can\'t help thinking that the spell being cast would be far more effective
if the pages were facing the mage...

I imagine him bellowing out the title of the book and being surprised when nothing
happens.

 

[revmatt]

beautiful.

Pretty groovin job! I like the staff the best actually. The globe on the end turned out really nicely

rofl!

a great piece. lovely colours, super smooth blending and great freehand

 

[Wombat85]

very beautiful blending, nice freehand on the book

 

[Jezzter]

amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a solid $ Pay Day $ if you sell it

Very natural contrasts in tones & colors, super smooth & flawless execution.

Intense contrasts along with subtle blends......killer

What else could someone possibly do to make this model any better?

So I dont sound like a total lick spittle I will say the hair might use a bit more depth or variation.

Over all the style of the hair matches the rest but, I wanna get ya thinking.

VERY NICE

 

[Infidel Castro]

Very nice work that man, very nice work.

I really love that mini, I do agree that a bit of tonal variation might improve it, but I doubt that I would have noticed if it hadn\'t already been pointed out. I particularly lover the NMM.

How do you paint your eyes, they look very neat, do you use a magnifying glass and do you paint a light spot and the iris??

Also your free handing on the cloak is very cool, I love the design and the way you made it so neat,
Good work, Will

WOW, WOW and WOW! That is soooo sweet. Pic saved for reference

 

[demonherald]

lovely and smooth great to see some more of you work keep it coming.. Can\'t help thinking the little bit of freehand on the inside of the cloak would also have worked fantastically on the back....

Thanks for all Your comments. I feel very appreciated :beer:

I do it in a standard way - i paint the eye ball white and put a black dot in the center. Although i have to tell ya i had some rough time with those eyes.

Yes i thought about putting similar pattern there but the back is not quite freehand-friendly I love what Brokenblade did on the back of this mini but i\'m not a copycat

Shading, highlighting, NMM, and jewels, all perfect. Love the freehand, and I don\'t mind at all that there wasn\'t any on the back of the cloak. Sometimes less is more!
