Wow, it's felt like a real long time since I started this project. I suppose that it's only been about a month, but it has felt longer.
I am calling it done on this starter crew (I still need a couple more layers of water effects on the bases, but the models themselves are finished). My perfectionist personality keeps itching me to go in again and push certain highlights or shadows further, add more texture, etc. But I think that if I go down that path, I'll never really "finish" them, and I have other projects on my shelf that are crying for attention.
Some of the WIP shots that I took along the way, and really should have posted sooner.
A few front on shots I took to check the contrast. I do this by running them through an image editor and turning the colour to 0 in order to see if they still read well in greyscale. I should save those images more often. Trixibell doesn't hold up as well in greyscale as I didn't push the skin highlights/shadows as far as I did on Mah, or Lil Lass.
Fear not, this isn't the end. I have some Rooster Riders on the way to fill out my tricksy crew, and as you can see in the background of a few of the images above, I also have some Tri Chi models that will be fun to paint as well.
