Ritual's work in progress (or, how to get my act together)

[supervike]

My goodness, you certainly haven't lost any of your fantastic talent.

Just loving the blues.

 

[khavor]

Love it, you could just put that shield on a base by itself...

 

[Ritual]

Thanks guys!

@supervike: Nice to see you around, Jim! :smile-big:

 

[Ritual]

Ok, update! I've been working a lot more on the dress, also on the back side. I've painted the leathery bits at the back, re-painted the long sleeves and painted the hair. Next step will be working more on the skin, both hands and face, and paint the eyes. There are small areas of dress left and some tweaking, tweaking the long sleeves, doing the spear shaft, the shoes, and then all the metal bits. Oh, and the sword grip.

This is really looking nice. Thanks for getting a wip going and letting us watch your skills at work.

Ridiculously smooth painting on here. Love it.

That shield is great; seems like you haven't lost *all* your brush control.

Luckily, I could have a drink or two while doing it! :beerwave:

And thanks everyone! I'm glad you like the figure! Maybe I do remember how to paint, after all? :smile-big:

In your case .....LIKE RIDING A BIKE!!! Or like riding a bike after 2 drinks!!! Either way its beyond debate that your still one of the top painters!!!!

 

[Dr. Bob]

Ridiculously good. She's got a great booty!

Looking really nice Anders!!! Something "quick" to ease yourself back into it?

Maybe I'll follow your example and join you in a new WIP...... (because I am painting......)

That was the general idea, but I've already spent more time on it than I anticipated. :thinking:

You should! :claply:

Go the full works and paint a nice wood grain on both the spear and inside of the shield.
:good:

The spear got some nice wood grain yesterday, while the inside of the shield will be metal, but quite dark.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Awaiting pics feverishly

 

[Ritual]

I hope to post updates tonight.

 

[Ritual]

Small update. I still haven't done more work on the face and hands. I have painted the spear shaft, done some more work on the dress and started on the steel. That's basically what happened since the last pictures. Oh, and there's a speck of dust on her bum.

 

[ten ball]

Good, good, good. I would be tempted to lighted the middle of the spear staff, as in well used / handled.

 

[Sicks]

This looks really nice, not much more to say than that

 

[Ritual]

Thanks guys! :smile-big:

@ten: Thanks for the suggestion. I'll think about it.
