And with less than a month left, I'm affraid I won't be bringing too much to the competition. So far I have only Leon, and Capt'n Sapo, two busts finished at the beginning of this year.
I'm hoping I'll be able to finish something else, but it all depends on how much sleep and free time I'll be able to get these next few weeks. So far the most advanced is Old Gnome bust (from War Griffon Miniatures). At this point basically only the flesh needs to be finished, rest is more or less ready.
As always I'm struggling with the skintones, that's why I tend to leave it for the end. It's a real pity, as the face is the most important part of every miniature, bust especially. And if I won't do it good enough, the whole paintjob will be, well, wasted. So finger crossed I won't mess it up this time.
For the first time I'm trying to do directional light, shining on his left shoulder, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to pull it off. We'll see how it looks with the face ready. Hopefully it will work.
And if I'm really lucky, and wil be able to get into 'the Zone', I might even paint something else, something small and simple. If I'm lucky...
cheers

Oooo Euro is coming soon ain't it? Need to get myself sorted for that as well! Looking forward to seeing your pieces there, and possibly even meeting you while at the event! If one can find another while in such a large event that is!
ReplyDeleteIt would be great to meet, and I should be fairly easy to spot, even in such a crowd. Most likely I'll be the only one with a tiny creature strapped to my chest;]
