Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Your color scheme is promissing.

And you are ahead of me :

I will join: this is my current view.
I have stripped off the primer for the metal-effect which is already done . . .

Here is my start position (well, I already painted the white of his eyes)

Wow, your work-surface is infinitely tidier than mine! I'm impressed.

Looks very good indeed to me.

Master Barliman....I never find place to put more things on my table..this is why I have two working tables :
Great Master Maenas! Thanks you to sharing your techniques with us!!

Here my progress:
I want to give to Radagast cane the appearance of old branch.. .for other side I have doubts ...sculpt or not a hood?

@Milo: It looks like it continues to the knee... xD

@ Arthadan: Oh! I can see what you say ^^' I wanted a rather greasy and used look and I forgot completely that the back sides of pelts are usually a clear colour... Maybe I rework it giving it a little more brightness...

@Orc: I also think that a hood would be nice!! That background gives it a nice presence I would say, at least from what I can see in the pic, that the upper part of the staff, does not follow the line of the rest of it... I mean, it looks vertical whereas the rest of the staff looks somewhat inclined to the left.
If you decide to sculpt that hood, I would do what Arthadan says about the rear cape strap and filling the separation of it, on the contrary if you decide to not sculpt a hood I would rather let that strap were it is.

@To all: feel free to comment! this is starting to move

Hello fellows. Is it right, that the "Dead-Line" will be on Nov.11 ?

We had an extended deadline that lasts until the 15th

I am about finishing the figure . . . sorry for posting no WIP pictures, but there is absolutely NO time at all for taking photographs.
Good luck I found time for painting . . .

Indeed the lack of time is a pity as it is that you couldn't take pics of your painting process since the aim of this is more the "sharing with all others part" than the final "contest" but I do understand what you say, so glad you could paint a little and participate with us in this little League. ^^

Ah- I see. Thank you for the information Master Maenas.
Well- after glueing some small and extra parts on the cork I have to wait . . . and make some WIP pictures.
In this case the base. (the figure is already finished . . . ) Meanwhiling I spend more time for the base than for the figure itself.
Through the last years the base became more important to me than the figure. You can conceal a so-and-so paintjob with an impressive base.
So- here are some pictures:

This is the wooden base. It is eucalyptus-root. Therefore the "holes" are natural and have a great texture.



The other one shows the surface decoration. I took some real granit pieces from Brittany and use some grass-pieces from Green Line/fredericus rex
which are highly recommended and which you can find here:

And Master Milo: hurry up!

Oh that base looks very natural, love his "aura" so far. Thank you for explaining its creation a little bit ^^ And also for the link you have posted. I will save it for future reference, if I don't already have it (can't recall if I do)

If I may ask... Where do you can get that beautiful wood block? self made? went to a wood cutter in search for pieces? a specific shop?

I started painting. 1st layer is on, I am still not convinced by color scheme. Any suggestion is welcome.

Good work in this conversion Master Orc. May I ask if the cat is still "usable" ? If yes, which I doubt, I might be interrested.
