Webmonkey Posted July 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 (edited) also, (while I'm working on the body), I need to make a decision on which weapon I want. I have a choice of a sword or a staff. I think I like the staff better. Might be interesting painted up in a wood-grain pattern,...

Mister Monkey Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 While the staff is nice that sword looks damn cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 Can you mix then together for a Stafford? or a Swoff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted July 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 quick update. Got some of the gold lining and stuff done. There's a bit of touch-up still to be done,.. but I'm liking where it's going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 I like where it's going too, the gold looks great. I gotta ask though... How does she fight without breaking an ankle in those shoes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Lady Justice fights in high heels too and she's also blind, neither preventing her from being a kickass in melee :1_Happy_Puppet2: Very nice work so far, the skin is fantastic and I also like the realistic look of the skirt.

Lussuria Posted July 29, 2013 Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Oh looks awesome!! Can't wait to see her head haha. Given how ornate her clothes are I would say staff, but the green gold also gives me an almost woodland beauty sort of vibe pulling toward voting for the sword. Hmm, I shall reserve judgment until I see more of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmonkey Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Small update. The top section of skin still needs to be shaded, as does the collar. Plus there's a jewel that seems to be set in the center of the collar. I still need to paint it up, but need to choose a color. It'll be important, because the same color will be used in the jewels on the weapons. I also may change the collar color to the green as opposed to the brown. Anyways,.. sorry,.. but it's more crappy night-time pics,.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordDarcy Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I love this Green and Gold. Did you mention the miniature's name previously and I missed it? Great work as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted July 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 The model doesn't have a proper name that I know of. Its simply called "elf mage lineage 2". And thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 ok,.. skin shading of the upper skin section completed. And went for a purplish gem. I thought it popped a bit against all that green and gold. (Didn't want to do red again since I used it on the clockwork fairy) I had also thought about a blue, and may still change it. Up next,.. the jacket and the arms. But for now, here's where I'm at,... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Looking great. Love how the shading is coming out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'm telling you,.. the pastels are freaking awesome,..!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 So going to have to look into using them for Lucius. Possibly a mix of oils and them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 try them straight first,.. and get a feel for them. I've tried a couple of other projects by adding a bit of water to the powder, but it ends up a bit more like a "grainy wash". I think oils might be the same result.

Mako Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Oh, I was more thinking oils, let it dry, and use the pastels for added effect and such. I I mixed them I reckon you're right, I'd get a grainy mush! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 I was doing that at first,.. "pre-shadowing with paint and then blending out with the pastels" and it looks really good. But I find that I get nearly as good of a result with the pastels alone, and as such, can cut out a step. And anything that saves time is a good thing I think.

Lussuria Posted August 1, 2013 Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 Ooooh coming along so so pretty!! Can't wait to see her face! *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2013 You'll have to wait a bit for that. I have a jacket, arms, and a weapon to sort out first. Also, I've had several people ask about how I did the eyes on the clockwork fairy. So I'll do a step by step on this one to show how. It may slow me down a bit, but hopefully some of you can gleen some insight from it. *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 ok,.. got the jacket on and started it. I've only got about half of it done, and there's still some touch up and such that needs doing. Plus, I have a bit of greenstuff work to do on the seam down the back, and then I have to paint the other side of it. But at least this should get you a feel for where I'm going with it, and what it looks like with the jacket on. One of the beautiful things about these models is their versatility. In this case for example, I could have left the skirt off if I had wanted,.. (but I guess that I'm just not that much of a pervert *wink*). Also,. I could have chosen to leave the jacket off and the model would have looked just fine without it. But I like the jacket look, so that's what I'm going with. Anyways,.. enough prattling on for now,.. here's the photos,.. Next up,.. finish the jacket, and then on to the arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Hm. I almost think that you should make the jacket a bit of a different color, to set it off from the rest of the cloth. That, or change the color of the shirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 you may be right,... maybe make the cloth of the shirt more sheer?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 That might work. Maybe a brighter green? ---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ---------- How about the pale green on the green palette swapped Sheik?

Lussuria Posted August 2, 2013 Report Share Posted August 2, 2013 Haha, I was actually just about to ask if these models were based off specific characters and that's where their colour scheme is from - or if you are personally selecting the colours you do the outfits in. I'm going to guess from the above conversation - you're selecting them youself. She's coming along so so so well. I can't believe how you're getting all that little detail so nice and clean. Oh, did you decide on sword/staff? I vote you cut and glue them together and give her a Swaff! Or are they Stords? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
