Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Beautiful fantasy painting grate to have in all collection for all fantasy collectors... I have also 54 mm miniatures, but history soldiers from Romans  till Medieval...

well, indeed if you think I should erase them that's fair... I myself was unsure if they had their place around here...since not tolkien nor mithril related, I just did not have any other place to post them

and since I saw there was pictures from other brands in this part of the forum too...

but ok, I'll remove them...

Ithandir and Leogantus and my faves.    (Heh, not sure if I spelled them right.)

Here's my take on Ainariel who I renamed Tirwen.



She was a going away present from a couple friends in the painting club in Detroit when we moved away...

as for putting picture of other brands, well in the description of the category 'gallery of mayor samwise' it is not said if it has to be mithril... I suppose that provided it is Fantasy, it could be ok?

I have no objection.  After all, they probably wouldn't exist without the influence and popularity of the works of Tolkien.

hey it's not supposed to be a rule either to post non-mithril I actually took pictures of all the non-mithrils I had (these 5 andrea figurines are the only non-mithril, non-C.Tubb figurines I have....) and posted them in a single post to avoid spreading too much out of subject pictures

Now I just wanted to share and possibily have a comment on them if you want, that's all

Very nice Wendy and Gildor!
As mentioned before.... keep posting!

There are a lot of things happened meanwhiling. Great stuff, master Gildor. I like it!
and I agree o all the fellows posting here.

I know I revive a very old thread... but it is on purpose (in order not to duplicate threads..)  My wife recently convinced me to go back to work and after some very bad lack of motivation and bad mood I tried to get back on the work I was working on, last years.... more than 4 months ago.. I managed to finish the figurine yesterday and took some pics today in order to show you and have your comments or feedback... the pics are not very very smooth due to a lack of natural light... but I hope it is enough to have an opinion...

Indeed I am far  from being expert like Turambar, Cameosis, Wendy, David or Nino...  I used very few "dry brush" techniques but rather some "lavis" and "glacis" (don't remember the words in english sorry... that's when you use VERY diluted paint flooding first, then more precisely and less diluted..going from base color then shadowing, and then lighting up...

well enough talking, please give me some feedback (please note this is a 54mm reference from Andrea Miniatures, always the same series as the first posts, from Warlord Saga, name is "Daramis, Healing Light"

My comment is: How is possible that you could claim that you do not know how to paint.... ! I think this is enough !

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...

.... maginifent figure... I'm going to explore"Andrea miniatures" web site !

I 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...
