I have yet to paint my christmas gift… before going back to anything mithril I think… but this one will be hard to paint :

54mm too… but mounted…
March 29, 2011 at 12:51 am #16356Master Gildor, you shouldn’t paint if you think it’s hard!
Rather put your mind to expect it to be very easy to paint, then it’ll flow and you’ll have another great painted mini for your collection!
You can do it!March 29, 2011 at 5:46 am #16358…. maginifent figure… I’m going to explore”Andrea miniatures” web site !
March 29, 2011 at 7:13 am #16360….I found them !

March 29, 2011 at 7:55 am #16361I only buy and paint some of them though they are all very well sculpted, some are simply not my ‘kind’ and since I don’t like painting orcs, or wild things, or too crude bodies…. I prefer knightly armors, mages… angels…
March 29, 2011 at 2:01 pm #16363Ah, I saw the green posted on the Spanish Team forum. It is a very nice figure.
The pics are a little dark, but you paint fine Master Elf. You might enjoy some of the figure shows in France.
I rarely drybrush at all anymore. Glazes (or juices, or…there really isn’t a good word in english) are better for control of the color(s).
March 29, 2011 at 2:54 pm #16364Huooommmm …. wonderful figure, marvellously painted … the cloth, the skin, the hair, etc ….
excellent paint job indeed, Master Gildor. BUTIt wouldn’t be me if I hadn’t found something I could criticize (sorry, might be because of my job). See, the title, as you said, is “Healing Light”. right? – So what do you think that fair lady is holding up in her left hand? :rolleyes: Paint it again, Sam.
Gildor, I hope you do not take this as an offence, as it clearly isn’t meant that way, maybe it’s just because of my strange kind of humour. So to point it out clearly again at the Ent:This is a marvellous figure which was painted brilliantly !!!!!
March 29, 2011 at 3:06 pm #16365well i must admit I painted it by the model… but the flame Daramis is holding in her hand is supposed to be blue-white (like her clothes)
the color theme is blue-white and golden… the figurine is far less dark than the pics show them… as I said, a lack of good natural lighting does not help
this is the model used for the box cover : http://www.figurines-avenue.com/Files/28365/img/02/WS-028-01.jpg
about glazes or juiced, indeed lots of control because dry brush tends to bring paint “powder” outside the places we want to paint, this is very very hard to control when you do artistic work…. it is indeed more suited for armies, or caricatural figurines with lots of relief…
quite suited for SOME mithril figurines, for infantry or orcs… or pelts sometimes… drybrush remains the best for big areas of animal pelts (provided the pelt is sculpted….)
March 29, 2011 at 3:19 pm #16368Sorry, I really didn’t know about a blue-white flames until now. But I have to admit that I’m not at all familiar nor with Andrea-figures and their ‘background’ either.
March 29, 2011 at 3:31 pm #16369well I think Joaquin Palacios (freeman) is quite a good fantasy sculptor for 54mm actually but this is ONLY for 54mm…
Mithril was good too… but they ceased producing 54mm…
March 29, 2011 at 5:18 pm #16375Gildor, you do yourself down Sir , you paint very well and those examples you have shown show this. So many people miss out on the enjoyment by a lack of confidence in their abilities, but we ain’t in a competition with each other, paint for your enjoyment and our enjoyment Karma to Mrs Gildor for giving you a ‘kick up the butt’ 😆
April 18, 2011 at 9:33 pm #16913Now to give him another “kick up the butt” to make him work harder on the mounted figurine he’s painting (Zorabeth, morning mist, still by Andrea, link on page one of this thread).
I really love those andrea miniatures, way better than Mithril ones in my eyes for one main reason: they’re 54mm. 32mm really lack details or so I think… and our house is crowded with 32mm!!!! *cries*
If you want bad painting, you should see my Gildor *shudders*. Actually the clothes are pretty good for a first try, but (as I expected), the skin turned out as a new synonym of “awful”.
April 18, 2011 at 9:43 pm #16915Ahhh … if you would like to see worse paintings … they’re here … that’s why I did not provide them … rhuoommm … and as for the “kick up the butt” give him a second one from me, please … I also like that guy at your home … 😆
July 30, 2011 at 4:05 pm #19091remember months ago… I got a gift for Christmas… 54mm from
Andrea http://www.andrea-miniatures.com/images/andrea/WS/detallegran/WSS-002-01.jpgit took me more than six months… but I finished it today, at last… and now here is the result (sorry for the light quality, I had some problem with natural light and flash ) :

and now, I have four days to finish painting the gift I made to my wife for her birthday in june… this is not fantasy but could be : a Norse Lord from Andrea too
http://www.andrea-miniatures.com/_carro/AspsProductos/foto.asp?Imagen=../../images/andrea/SV/detallegran/SV-02-04.jpgthen by thursday next week, I should be back painting Mithril, AT LAST
July 30, 2011 at 4:22 pm #19092Huoommm … great that is, Master Gildor … I mean the paint-job and the sculpting of the stallion … good choice for a present, meseems …. huoomm …
July 30, 2011 at 4:43 pm #19093mon dieu! the “norse lord” is a modified conan pose, looking good.
July 30, 2011 at 4:53 pm #19096Well, I guess with all these great painters around I’ll never pick up a brush again….
the result would be not satisfying at all anymore…July 30, 2011 at 5:23 pm #19098it took me a lot of time to achieve this one, and in the end i admit I was a bit “fed up”… I am not such great a painter but I am satisfied enough with the result…
I had a lot of problems to do the artificial snow… “flocage” as you call that in french… it is easy to do with grass, but with artifical snow powder that’s a nightmare, not to mention I had powder everywhere , I used PVA glue, but the powder was so thin…. if you have any tip on how to “apply” artificial snow, it is welcome, as it can make marvelous environment but very hard to achieve
July 30, 2011 at 6:40 pm #19099Well, Master Hsf62, I also will not take up a brush again … except for personal usage, such as painting my house … that’s all I can do with paints and brushes ….
Gildor, thanks a lot for providing those pictures … fascinating they are … I always thought of you being an expert at the key-board, but this reveils, that your fingers are also skilled elsewhere … huom.July 30, 2011 at 8:26 pm #19101you mean … piano I suppose? but no I don’t play this instrument heheheh
