... well....
it's never easy to post the first work in a new forum....
I don't want to give 3 pages of comments!

I'm not a great "dio-maker" and like a beginner, I focus on the painting of the figures, always trying to improve! roll

I show you the first work I've done with MITHRIL, and it's a part of a project including some similar figures in similar poses, for instant GW (Part I) and MITHRIL (Part II).
(there's a Part III of this little project, but not easy to do .... and secret!)

the part I could be seen on my blog: "Give me the Ring, Bilbo!" GW

and I post here some pictures of the Part II, some more to see on my blog : "Give me the One Ring, Bilbo!" MITHRIL

.... after some months, when I see the pictures, I'm thinking: "it's not gooooood enough!! You forgot too much defaults!!!!"
I hope that you will be indulgent: I've seen that Great Masters are haunting the Gallery! mad

Thanks!

Thanks Milo!
I will post the few works I make with the MITHRIL figures, not a lot yet, because I'm mainly a 1/72 painter ! wink

Never feel that your work is not good enough Master Sam Wise, as long as you have enjoyed what you have done that is all that matters wink .

I think we are a friendly bunch on here given to encouragement and constructive criticism, not destructive criticism of the work of others. And anyway, this is a very nice painted scene big_smile I look forward to seeing more.

Many thanks for your nice comment!
don't worry! I'm not afraid of critics or something else here! I've received a warm welcome and read some posts : it's enough to me to feel the spirit of of a forum!
Nevertheless, I make sometime some self-criticism : it's one way to improve or even see the improvement I've maid! wink

Thanks !
that's one thing I know about my painting skill! (and some others!)
I think that I'd made some improvements since this work (May 2):

July 2012:
"Sam at the Camp-fire" GW
August 2012:
"Back to the Shire" GW
and august 2012:
" In the House of Tom Bombadil" (unfinished yet) MITHRIL

Thingol · Wed, Sep19 2012 3:27pm

Just pay attention a little on colors for Tom Bombadil wink .... I like your blog smile

Milo · Wed, Sep19 2012 4:26pm

Ouh, I see many things I like on your blog.
And it's great pleasure to see Mithril works from France big_smile

Master thingol is right, remember "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil":
"Old Tom Bombadil was a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket was and his boots were yellow, green were his girdle and his breeches all of leather, he wore in his tall hat a swan-wing feather . He lived up under Hill, where Withywindle ran from a grassy well down into the dingle."

I've a lot of fun to paint MITHRIL figs!

I know... it's a mistake, shame on me!
I've read that AFTER that I've paint him!
(except the feather: "Jay feather" in the french version ! roll
And I don't want to repaint him now: it's too much work for me (and my free time!)
Maybe another Tom Bombadil, who knows ?

... in fact, I don't remember where I've read the information about the feather!
I've made another research and:
-a peacock feather in the first version of the poems but Tolkien changed it for a swan one and then tell how he obtain a kingfisher feather to ornament his hat!
I think that I will choose the last one: some blue could be nice.
What do you think about?
Thanks!

(it's horrible actually: not a minute to paint!!!!! sad )
