WIP Cartoon Richelieu

[Pedro]

Hi all,
My first try on fantasy figures and painting NMM on large surfaces. I think the neck is ok, but not sure about the chest.
Scale75 figure from their Historix series.

Really good, love these caricatures but not sure I'd be up to one, but this is looking great.

Cheers Simon

Hi Pedro

That looks a fun piece to paint , I like the NMM , works well on the neck but I think you should push the chest area more

Be interested in you trying to share the way the NMM is done with the colour details

Look forward to seeing more

Have fun at the bench

I love these caricature's, they're great fun to paint.
You've made a great start, and the NMM looks good to me.

Thank you all for your kind words.
I'll try to show what i've done so far on the shoulder (I apologize for the quality of the photos)
1 - Base - Black+English Grey
2 t0 5 - Adding english grey, rock grey and ivory. I gave, now and then, a very thin layer of black just to unify colours
6 - Adding a secondary light
7 - Defining edges
8 - Some small dots of pure white.

As always i'll apreciate if you let me know what changes i must do to the process.

The completed shoulder

Looks really great Pedro, I can't comment past that as I gave up on NMM a fair while ago. What you have done here is really good, it looks the part without being over the top shiny, love it.

Cheers Simon

Hi Pedro

Thanks for showing the SBS on the armour .......I think it’s looking good , like what you’ve done on the highs , the effect where shoulder piece meets the breastplate looks really good

You doing the piece a lot of credit

Looking forward to seeing more
