WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I ran a bit short of time with her but I am pretty happy with the result! Hopefully these are better pics and not so contrasty as the others... I painted her once before to represent a sea elf character Scott was playing. Her before shot: I've submitted her to Glen's Crappy Mini or Not... :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eastern Front Studios Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 excellent work wolf the tartan looks really good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupidcow Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 This is a big improvement! Only problem I can spot is that the cork base needs more work to not look like cork. Maybe that's where you ran out of time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 EFS: Thanks! - First tartan attempt so I'm glad it came out as well as it did... SC: Yeah basing and pelt/tail weren't as I would have liked them...but live and learn eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chonk34 Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I like it. I've been eyeing that particular mini for a Barbarian army I'm planning. Hopefully I can come up with a paint job as nice as the one you've done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunjiNoKanrei Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Huge improvement! Skin, warpaint and tartan are excellent. How long was it between the two? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'd be interested in that too. Are the photos dated? Great improvement too, by the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Thanks for all the compliments - I'm pretty happy with her...the base was where I ran out of time - the cork was primed with her - and has several layers but not enough contrast to be complete - you are very correct... CMON - I have posted a few under wintersrainne - a few of my really early pics aren't there - but most of it is.... http://www.coolminiornot.com/browse/page/1/submitter/wintersrainne As for her face - you couldn't really see it in the pics - so here is a closeup....her eyes are open (and green no less). The pic is from an earlier WIP but her face was finished.... Time wise - I had a look... I started painting in Oct 03. Coral (the before pic) was my fifth mini ever painted in late Dec 03 - early Jan 04 (very slow painter). Lorna was painted in Feb 07 and was my lucky 30th mini. So time wise - a long time but there was 18 months where I painted nothing in that gap...easier to look at that in terms of how many minis. Hope that helps!

supervike Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 How the heck do you keep track of how many you have painted? Thats amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincegamer Posted March 9, 2007 Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 well, when you've only painted 30 and you've thought to keep track... WD will lose track when it gets into 3 digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfDreamerNZ Posted March 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2007 Keeping track was easy - I had a website with it all organized - still have the site - just isn't online right now - so I went back and counted my pics... :laugh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thryth Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 How the heck do you keep track of how many you have painted? Thats amazing. I keep track (approximately 67) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skya Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 I keep track (approximately 67) How the heck do you aproximate a number as specific as 67? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thryth Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 How the heck do you aproximate a number as specific as 67? I started painting miniatures in the 80's, but dropped-out of it for the later half of the 90's and (aside from a few in 2002) only picked-it up again in 2006. Along the way I believe that I have misplaced some. 67 is a best guess. Only the stuff that I have done in the past year (12) are anywhere near decent looking, however. At least I think so.
