GW Eowyn for GD

[Custom_Hobby]

Very doable in three weeks. So you have two entries for this years GD?

[Agentmolar]

I had 4 but one is only basecoated!! lol

[Custom_Hobby]

Weren't you doing the orc for it too?

[Agentmolar]

2 are almost done, 1 is basecoated and 1 needs ALOT of highlighting.... gonna be some late nights the next few weeks.

Im slowly going mad.

make sure you have something nice planned for when they are finished. GD work can be very draining.

[Custom_Hobby]

Good point, you need something to do that will be recreational and fun.  You can do a Kyrie paint off with Stu and Matt (once they get them in the mail) :icon_wink:

Well another update.. phew spent all afternoon and early morning past midnight working on her.

nearly finished. Gotta fix her front boot, and maybe do some more painting to smooth her out.. im so over this. Shes sstarting to really drain me...

but i have learned heaps about brush control and highlight placemen






im a little ticked off because i listened to some advice from different people and both advice although useful made me go three steps back, and i feel that this mini has lost some of her original soul now. Perhaps its because its 4 am and im tired. Be gentle.

She is really progressing nicely. Get some sleep mate. I am sure you will feel much better when you have fresh eyes looking at her. There looks like there is a small dot just above her right elbow in the rear shot.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted: :icon_twisted:

Is it the pic or is it really there (or do I need a nap)? :icon_wink:

[Medved]

ok the change of angle has brought a few things up.

'her' right eye (on out left) needs some work to it. both eyes need to be looking the smae way and bang on to be in with a shout of a demon.

the lips are looking a little heavy in colour.  a few glazes of the flesh mix (elf flesh?) should tone it back a little, then give it a little highlight dot.

the base as a bit diagonal. i'd say to keep tha base you need to repaint the eyes to be lokking down more.

[Agentmolar]

Yeah the change in base did lose the focus on her face that the original mini has. Looking down is a good idea. Im  glad that the advice has been minor tweaking. the eye has been a common point on most forums.

[Agentmolar]

Ok well i made it past the first round with eowyn and the orc pilot... so regionals here i come!!

heres my latest shot of eowyn. the orc pilot didnt get  a photo before entering because of battery death!

bascially i changed her eyes. tidied up the metals some more and redid the hem in grays  rather than silver. Its a tidier job and im happy as a result.

[Custom_Hobby]

Very nice work Kurt. Congrats on making the first cut!

[Fabian]

Yay! Go Kurt! I like Eowyn much more this time round, and the base is great. The whole thing seems quasi-historical, (something I've said about Mike's  dioramas before) which fits Middle-Earth perfectly.
