LaeliaJS Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 Tiriel is my favorite mini. All three poses. Although I haven't had time to paint the dynamic one yet. This is a Tiriel I painted when my aunt went into a coma in late July. It's currently at my Uncle's house. It's my first attempt at freehand, my first attempt at NMM, my first attempt at sculpting with greenstuff, and my first attempt at source lighting. Considering how many firsts I had in there, I think it came out pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 That's really rather cool! It looks like a painting (like canvas). Not sure if that is the look you went for, or if its just the picture, but its meant as a compliment! Really neat idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green stuff Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 The design is really neat and the result sweet. The paint technic on the floor almost looks like a Magritte painting. Maybe more defined shadows on the flesh could have given more intensity to the scene, but the result is already great . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Equus Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 That is really cool. I especially like the source lighting effect in the first picture. Looks like you put in a lot of work on this one, and it definitely paid off. I'm not sure if it's just me, but the pictures are a little dark.

LaeliaJS Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 I'm not sure if it's just me, but the pictures are a little dark. Yeah a little... It didn't look right with a white background, so I changed that, but now the mini's 1500 miles away from me, so I can't take any more pictures. I was (and still am) working on how to take decent pictures. Thanks for the compliments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted October 15, 2005 Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 it is definately a neet idea! sort of similar in concept in a lot of ways to my tiriel, she does seem to be asking for a shadow nice work, I'm looking forward to seeing your next!

LaeliaJS Posted October 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2005 it is definately a neet idea! sort of similar in concept in a lot of ways to my tiriel, she does seem to be asking for a shadow I'll admit it... Your Tiriel inspired her. I stared at your picture of it on CMON for a long long while and seriously considered offering you several hundred dollars for her. Instead, since I'm poor, I painted several of my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaeliaJS Posted October 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2005 Kneeling Tiriel: She was originally going to be fully NMM. For the last shade I grabbed pearl white instead of pure white and went "Oops, that's metallic." but I really liked the effect it made, so I kept using it to flesh out the last layer. One of these days I'll have to figure out how to use that diffusion box thing so my minis don't cast shadows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
