Thanks gentlemen for the kind words. Very entcouraging.
Master Maenas, it is brushed on. With a “two-haired-brush”- as I call that “thing”.
(You need also some strong drinks – three in the minimum!- BEFORE the start.)
As you know I paint with oil colours. I try different kind of “liquids” to make the oilcolour that thin that I need for those thinny lines.
Everything didn´t satisfiy me. So I made the decision some time in the past to use acryllic paint for those “freehand” work,
as I can fill it up with water as it is liquid-like as water. You have got more to say coloured water.
The oil colour has got some kind of a greasy surface. So the almost waterlike acryllic paint has got problems to stick (covering power).
If you have a closer look you can see some disruptions in the lines.
But- as it is a 32 mm figure which is standing somewhere it is absolutely alright, in my oppinion . . .

Those disruptions teased my eye into thinking it was not brushed on!!
And they look more than right in my opinion!!
I’m keen on seeing the final pictures of all the figures here. So far there were just some pics provided showing work-in-progress. As for all those details of the coats I could see here: fantastic painting-skill quality. – Which supports one of my arguments for not taking part in the Painter’s league here
Well, a very good event from Mrs Milo’s family changed my schedule: a little girl is born this morning 😎
So we are about to leave home to visit her, time is much more to celebrations than painting.
I will do my best to finsih Zalg & take pics by tuesday.
It’s always acceptable, or as you might put it, Master Milo, very wise to give in to priorities. I’m sure that Mrs Milo’s family will serve you a nice third breakfast, which Zalg is not able to do. Good choice you made, dear Hobbit.
Family first Milo we of course could extend the deadline to this very next weekend if you need to.
Anyway it is not as important as your new family member and it will never be. Congratulations Milo and wishing your missus a fast recovery!!
Well, Master Turambar, I think what you, er, “produced” there is simply magnificient, one might also call it marvellous or even spectecular. But I wouldn’t have expected a lesser quality. So all in all, a very fine work you do present here with also providing a great quality in picture-taking or photography.
Hello all! I have extended the deadline one week due to a hobbit party business xD hahahaha
No, seriously now, I extended it because everyone seemed to need it. I have already finished, but didn’t had time to post the pics, but I will do (hope) this afternoon .
Master Archer I must say that your work is delicate as an elven bow’s string. I reserve further comments till the rest of participants finish their works. ^^
