Re: works

wonderful, simply wonderful ... keeps me breathless ... thank you, rita.de, for providing the pictures ...
once again your way of assembling figures together with natural material and having a fascinating water-colour background ... well, from now on I will regard you as a three (not: tree) - dimensionable painter ... that's perfect, Master Rita.de. ... so you spent your time well in those quiet days between Christmas and New Year's Day ... thank you again.
As for hard jobs you mentioned ... indeed there are some ... "The Tree will know" you said, and he knows about that. wink

Re: works

Huoommm ... Arthadan, as for them trees Master Rita.de is perfect with his arts in water-colour.
Those trees added to the diorama you can find everywhere in your garden (the ones with the lichen you mean?) ... I prefer those 'hibiscus' to provide me with such pieces ... though it takes some time until lichen and spore decide to produce ... rhuoommm ... not less than about 5 years ... anyway ... it's worth it (by now I have a nice collection of lichen and moss)
The easiest way is to take a walk in a forest and find things ... that's all there is about ... huoom

Re: works

Fantastic job as ever and yet again the subtle background painting pulls it all together. Thanks for sharing.

have you thought about sending all these painted images to Michael at the Mithril web site for inclusion in the Fans gallery section (Thingol and others as well) as I'm sure that visitors looking will be amazed at what can be done with MM's.

Re: works

Yes, Master Arthadan, Master Theobald is completely right in what he mentioned. The source for those trees is: REAL NATURE.
There is nothing better as real natural material!
I prefer taking a turn in the woods with my wife on sunday afternoons- usually during the cold-times, as today. Puuh, it was cold outside! Time for a hot chocolate . . .
These lichens you will find near creeks and ponds. You don´t have to wait 5 years, they already exist . . . lol
But believe me, also in this case the Tree is right!
Well, as far as Mr. Daines concernes: I am already there, in the fan painting-section of the homepage of the company we trust in-since 8 years-!
But not under this curious name- unfortunately.
You have to know my real name . . .It´s not that difficult!
Thank you very much, gentlemen, as mentioned: time for the hot chocolate . . .

Re: works

Oops! wink I think I forgot those images as I tend to look for new names on that forum. Enjoy that hot chocolate, but you deserve something much stronger for the pleasure of seeing your work.

Re: works

... and drying the liches ... huoommm ... thanks for your compliments, Master Rita.de ... a turn in the woods is something good ... there's so much that can be found there ... and of course you won't have to wait 5 years for that ... lol ... I just was talking about the lichens in my garden ...
they're about 35 years by now and still do provide a good quality ...
rhuoomm ... hot cocoa with a top of whipped cream, slightly covered with grated dark chocolate ... huoomm ... then a wee dram of that Islay-liquid put into it ... hom ... yes, that's what I will do now ... good idea, Master Rita.de ....

Re: works

Thanks for your answer! I'll do some research next time I have the chance to go for a walk in a forest. How do you dry the lichens?

Re: works

Master Arthadan, the lichens dry themselves. Sometimes a little bit of wood-clue is necessary, but not usually . . .
Again gentlemen, thank you for your friendly comments.

Re: works

You are more than welcomed, dear mithril friend from Croatia, more than welcomed . . .
But: don´t make just a copy. Put something of your own soul inside . . . I am curious about the result . . .

Re: works

Just being busy in fulfilling my Moria-project. My never ending project- working on it many years. There is still much to do.
An important step for finishing is the cavetroll-scene, being a central part of the whole Moria-dio.
And yes, the chain will have an end . . .

Re: works

Oh yes, Master Estel, me too. Especially for that reason that I found a solution of what we have discussed last year.
You remember the "bases-problem" of the orcs? Last year- oh my goodness. Time flies quickly . . .
Well, that chain idea pleases me a lot, because this scene (being part of the whole one) is a very important one (of the whole one)
Kind of an eye-catcher in a special part of the diorama . . .
This was the concept:

So, you saw the finished Troll, the orc is also painted, just put them together . . . That will take time, as everybody will assume . . .

Where there is a will there is a way, just as there are no problems, only solutions! Guess it depends on ones own perspective of the matter at that time big_smile

Re: works

mmh, I don´t want to bother you neither with whitchkings and standart-beares nor orcish people . . . not at all . . .
BUT: I am painting these orcish people in the meanwhile to reach the finish-point of my Moria-diorama- after thirty years or so.
AND: I fell in love with this one: what a marvellous orc! There is soo many details to discover when painting this guy . . .
