Here\'s Ou-Shaa, a Dryad Princess from Enigma, wonderfully sculpted by Seth Nash.
This is one of my entries for a contest called \"Le Petit soldat\" held in Italy at the end of this week. Is one of the best historical contest in Italy and they have also many entries in the fantasy category.
A couple of words about the painting:
I have changed her a little removing the two branches from the back and using one of them as staff restoring the holes on her back with a bit of green stuff.
I have decided to paint her in a \"spring\" version using greenish colors and the alternative head.
I have started with a white undercoat and a general wash using a mix of brown and black inks, Future Floor Wash and water to darken the recess without the problems associated to a black base (you can see the result of this wash on the base).
Then I have painted the wooden parts starting from Vallejo Brown violet followed by highlights using Dark Sand e Beige.
The shadows are obtained with light washes of Andrea Dark Brown
For the leaves I have used a Vallejo Dark green followed by Flat Green e Lime Green.
The terrain is painted using washes of brown, black and green with greys and beige for the small rocks.
I have painted the sewered heads using a wash of Andrea Japanese uniform and then adding washes of Vallejo Red and Dark Brown for the shades, the highlights are done adding Vallejo Pale Sand to the base color.
Oh.. following the advice of Treide (thank you!) I have added some highlight of light grey to simulate an older bark.
