Midnight Serenade was my first 54mm Ferry Fantasy Figure from Fontegris out of Spain. I have become a absolute fan of this Manufacturer, and have purchased most of the collection, that I like. All of the Figures produced are a limited edition, most are run only about 100 times. The Resin is of good quality, the only problem that I have noticed is that the pieces are to big, meaning that the ferry sitting on the tree is one piece and the base with all the figures is another piece, which makes clean up a little difficult. Especially in some of the other figure kits that I have. But the fit is almost perfect in all the kits that I have worked on so far.

Painting
As with all of my figures, most of the painting is done with oils, I like the way I am able to blend the colors, which is something that I haven't been able to master with acrylics.

Hope you enjoy it
Cheers
Andy

This is really great. The basework is stunning.
It's a pitty that the figures are in my humble opinion not finished. The quality of this piece can be tilt to a higher level with not to much work.
Andy, i believe you should do alot more on shading and highlighting. Specially the figures.

Hi,
I understand what your saying, especially when I look at your site(y). I also like the details on many figures, but I am not a big fan over overshadowing or highlights. Generally I try to keep my female figures softer then my male figures:). Female contrasts are just naturally softer in my eyes then men. I will however agree with you that some of the shadowing and highlights on the clothing and jewelery needs to upgraded. As well as using little more Matt varnish to tone down the shine.

What would you suggest for the shadowing around the jewels, I thought of using a acrylic sepia wash to go around them, and using pure silver as a highlight. The dress I was thinking about redoing it with some darker green shadowing and using the base color mixed with white for the highlights, of course using oils.

Cheers

Agree with you 100 %.

What you are writing is perfect. But highlighting the green should be done with yellow, and darkning with red.
Blue on the fellow on the ground shading with orange and highlight with white. The red blouse shading with green and highlight with yellow.

Happy that you paint in oils.
