Reaper Elf (WIP)

[Mercius]

Also, does anyone have their thumb go numb after a long session of painting...my thumb did last night and is still numb anf tingly this morning. I was pressing into the brush pretty hard, so thought that might be the cause.

It is the cause... some parts of your thumb have had to less oxigem for a while. Let it heal.

Here in my home town there is a phrase:

"Threat your brush, like your most valuable part: Keep it clean, dry and dont put it into things, it should not be put."

Perhaps we should add: And dont squeeze it to hard... :smile:

Happy paintings, Taggi

Hi Mercius, the green went on to the legs very neatly :good: Will the brown armour plates be brought up to orange/yellow or redder? Keep it up

Cheers, B.

I am still trying to decide what to do about the leather plates....I would like to make it more of an brownish orange leather than an actual pale leather if possible.

I am taking a break from painting tonight anyway, going to see the band Arch Enemy in Seattle with a friend. I will most likely work on it some more tommorow night. Thank you all for the compliments and advice!

Here is tonights progress...I shaded and highlighted the leather...It looks better in person, still not that great with the pictures yet. Ignore the bleed over onto the bleached bone trim areas, I will be touching all that up next session.

hmmm, i think you need another layer of lowlight & hilight on the leather.

looking quite nice, I just had a quick play in Gimp, cropped closer to the mini and used Auto levels, what do you think?

I think that looks about 100% better than my original pic

Looks like I need to DL Gimp lol.
