...and put up 2 new ones...

Ogre!

Queen and Slave

*does a little dance* wee! more for my gallery!


:flip:

thought, opinions, general remarks?

before anyone mentions it...the red on the shell of the queens throne is flat in the first picture...the second one shows it off better, yet i loved the first picture cause it shows the whole story, so i just had to add it! :D

See? That wasn\'t so hard...

Good work on both the Ogre and the Amazon! The story on the queen and slave is so well told...you captured the Queen\'s pondering look quite well. I like the snow and rock on the Ogre base as well, but are you going to base the rest of it under the gnoblar?

I think you did very well on the skin tones for both pieces. Some parts for the ogre appear a bit rough to me (the left horn looks a little \"fuzzy\" to me), but otherwise I like him a lot.

good work with both IPM..

I agree about the Ogre Base...I think I understand the effect you were going for, but it looks unfinished.

The skin tones are overall good, but a bit more highlighting or shading may help.

The Queen and here slave are interesting. It is a very cool mini, with great storytelling. I love the darker tones you have used but again, they seem a bit flat in spots.

Well done though...I\'m glad you faced your \'fear\'

Good Job, Becca!!

Glad to see you overcame your fear of posting (piccies that is) :D

I\'d pretty much agree with Jabberwocky and (surprise, surprise) SuperVike as far as comments go. I\'d call them both 7+ and only little scooches away from a much better score.

And... they\'re both... cute!

The Ogre is a solid enough job and I have to agree with everyone else, the skin is great, but I\'m not too keen on the purple and green. This is more a style issue though and the painting on these is still good. I guess it does somewhat fit the feel of the miniature, but it just doesn\'t really apeal to me. I gave it a 7.

I really like the Queen and slave though. The dark skin (which i\'ve seen look very unreal many times) is great. I\'d be interested to know what colours you used. Here I think that all of the colours work perfectly together too and have been very well executed. The NMM looks pretty good also. This one\'s a strong 8.

Been and voted! :bouncy:

Gotta agree on the ogre. Great job on the skin and the technique is good, but the colors seem a little off and the base seems undone. The face is great!

Great work on the Queen. Again, face is great. The highlights seem a little more muted on the slave, especially the upper torso area, but that may be just me.

See? I uploaded a new mini, you uploaded new minis (that are better than mine, but meh), everyone\'s happy :D

Most has been said already, but I want to comment on the sculpt of that amazon queen and slave..... I know it\'s not your fault, but she really looks like an action figure someone but in the throne. The back looks completely straight, very unnatural.
I also think the slave\'s hair hugs the skin too tightly, but once again, that\'s not your fault ;)
Great paintjob on a sculpt I don\'t like :D

Mosh, it looks like you need to lower one or both of your lights from overhead to just above camera level.

I don\'t know why, but I had a really hard time taking that photo. I used three lamps nd couldn\'t really get it to work.... in the end I just called it a day and lived with it ;)

Now stop hijacking IPMs thread :p

Nice, Nice, Nice!

Some of the Forum folks have been helping me out, so I figured \"I owed\". Viewed, voted and commented.

I like them!:D

Hi Becca! Looked and voted. Really liked the Ogre\'s face - great job! Also, the skin tones on the Queen and slave were well done. I\'ll be glad when my skins look that good.

Can\'t wait to see what you\'re going to do next! :flip:

Great jobs both, especially the diorama.
The facial expression on the queen\'s face is amazing, that slave is in for some rough times ;)
