Wood Elves (cherry blossom paint scheme) by Awaken Realms

[Awaken Realms]

Today we’re proudly presenting you one of the most unusual projects upon which we had the pleasure to work – the Wood Elves army painted for a collector from Sweden. What makes it unique is the theme of the army – the Japanese cherry blossom!

Check out the freehand cherry blossom patterns on their cloaks, the cherry-flower inspired banners and custom bases, reflecting the time of early spring, when the snow is melting down and vegetation begin to sprout out. The little shrine and the cherry trees forests were also a part of the commission.

We’ve really enjoyed painting this commission. It gave us the opportunity to go wild with the subtle feehands. It was very unusual and original project and the overall scheme is really nice and surprisingly fitting the models.

The first photo is the high resolution one, feel free to click on it and see the full army in detail!

How do you like this non-classical approach to the Wood Elves?

Sexy. I think you and Third Eye Nuke from Tale of Painters should do an army together. You both do such nice stuff with limited palettes and desaturated colors. I'd love to see what you could come up with if one of you started it and the other finished!

I don't like the army, but the color scheme and the painting quality itself is super.
So even though I don't like the army, in the gallery I would vote a 10 without hesitation .
