Ok guys gona post a WIP of a legolas mini i\'m painting.

The figure is for my girlfriends brother, as Legolas is his favourite character from lotr.

Going for a typical colour scheme. Grey cloak, green jerkin and bluish grey undershirt.

Still getting used to taking photo\'s so dont kill them :p

Also any ideas how to do blonde hair??

Looks decent so far. From what I can see in the pics I would say bring up the highlights a bit more. Also try and get better lighting when taking pics. Really hard to see any detail in them. As far as the blond hair goes I would start out with a light brown and work it up to either an off white or a dull yellow depending on what you are trying to achieve. If you let me know what brand of paints you are using I can try and give you some color names.

For blond hair I usually go with sneakbit leather, highlgihted with bleached bone, with a touch of yellow in it.

And try uping to aperture time on your camera to make the picture brighter (that and more light of course...).

Keep going !!! :p

Yea i was thinking either snakebite up to bleached bone or vomit brown up to bleached bone. Want to avoid making it look comically yellow though.

I will look through the settings on my camera properly later and try and get some better pics up. Did a little work on his gauntlets and straps before. Aiming for a leather look, anyway you\'ll hopefully see this later with the pics

Granddad!
bleached bone would take it to a platinum blonde
this was done with bronzed flesh as a highlight

Looks pretty smart mate, some more shots would be great from different angles, and some more detail. But from this distance looks pretty spot on :>
