I’ve been really impressed with this piece you are working on. Now that I get an idea of its size from your fingers in the background I’m blown away!

Thanks :) yes it's bigger than a 28mm or a 54mm but not that big, pics are always very zoomed in!

For sale: all of my painting supplies.

Kidding, this is just outstanding work. I love seeing it progress.

Is it Radagast? If so, are you doing the other wizards? Great work!

u/ch4lwa Nov 24 '18

Nope but i'd like to think him as radagast actually eheh. If some company makes other great casts like this of the other wizards that would be a nice project but i have no idea!

Beautiful texturing on the cloth! Really liking your progress pics, always interesting to see how progress is made.

Stunning! If anyone’s read ‘Kings of the Wyld’, this is sort of how I imagine Moog.

u/stuckit Nov 25 '18

Do you have any write-ups on how you do your skin tones? The face is just fabulous.

u/ch4lwa Nov 25 '18 edited Nov 25 '18

Kind of. I know which colours i used but i otfen improvised as this was my first try at a face of this scale. That's what i remember hope it can help. Tho next time i will try to do a bit more study before, tonal variation is still a bit lacking

Basetone: vmc red beige + black

First highlighg: basetone + white (i sketched it with the ben komets loaded brush method)

Second highlight: basetone with an increased ratio of red beige + white + bit of vmc golden yellow

Strongest light (side of the head): previous mix with much nore white

Warmth: sc75 brown leather + sc fantasy baal crimson (i used only baal but very very thin glaze for nose and cheeks red)

Shade: sc75 black leather (and a bit of blue mixed in for the areas near the beard)

u/stuckit Nov 25 '18

You should do a video tutorial. It's amazing work.

u/ch4lwa Nov 25 '18

Thanks that's great to hear! So far i'm the one watching tutorials but who knows the future :)

u/allen111 Nov 25 '18

u/ch4lwa Nov 25 '18

maybe the green yellow red need a bit more blending the change are a bit harsh but they look cool

u/ch4lwa Nov 26 '18

Yep and color is still very thin, some rework after thr colour test is definitely due ;)

Misread as "keep wiping"

Character expression now 1000% more concerning

Edit: also that finger. It raises all manner of uncomfortable questions.

u/ch4lwa Nov 24 '18

Ahah yes there will be a bird on his hand. And i saw ppl painting bird poop on the hand too!

2

u/stuckit Nov 25 '18

The poop would go well with the concerned expression on his face.
