The first one is quite static but I like it anyway, the second is dynamic but I'm not sure about the pose and the third is my attempt to transform a spearman into a hero (or something).

I'm going to make the armor colored and super-shiny using nmm techniques. Something like this or this.

Mananarepublic kirjoitti:Bad news - I probably can't do the Manhunter because of the heatwave here (resin becomes impossible to shape) and his right hanging thing is really bent.

Will see what I can find instead...

I just hope I have some time to paint it and show up the pics since I'm moving to southern Finland in this week and I'm not sure when I get the connection back to the cyberspace.



But the color theme will be blue tinted winter night. Although I'm somewhat unsure with the lantern since I'm yet quite inexperienced with OSL and I'll also have to do the lighting effect into the snow... yeah. Baking soda will surely be pretty interesting to paint/ink/wash/something-like-that. Oh, and the plan for the base is the most original, unique, clever and never seen before: hero standing on a rock!

Hammerheart kirjoitti: Oh wow, that's certainly one problem that won't be facing any of our Finnish contestants... Bummer, though. Just don't take too long to choose ;)

Hammerheart kirjoitti:Just to show that I've gotten somewhat started ---

snu kirjoitti:Almost ready to paint. I still need to sand the cape behind the spear, do something for the spear itself and remove the greenstuff from his hair. And some other small things. Nothing is glued yet.

And then there is the base... Only some rough ideas so far.


Click the image if you want a version you can zoom around.

The plan is to paint the armor super shiny, and the cape and the flag quite matte. Freehand to the cape, the flag and the shield. And only 17 days to do everything! (For those who don't read my blog/gallery, here is something i practiced for the shield.)

I'm not sure how to paint it though. How does this sound: I paint the cape separately, at least the underside. And also the back of the elf. After that I attach the cape, paint the rest (and touch up the underside/back the best I can reach, to make everything match). Any comments?
