Wood elf flat

[pgarri27]

This was painted in acrylics. It was a practice in blending highlights and shadows. Verylittepaint, lots of water, and many, many coats.

Nice, but in my opinion the green could be more shaded

Perhaps a little more shading but still a very good piece of work.

Difficult to say because it seems that the white balance hadn´t work. But a really nice figure

 

[Langenberg]

Nice job Pete. What scale is this?

 

[Stephan]

Like it.

 

[Blind Pew]

Oh yes, very very good mate. Amongst your best stuff. I think what others are referrring to when they say 'more shading' is the bit where (as we look at him) his upper arm meets the torso. If you can replicate the shading you have given him between his forearm and the leg in that area, it would improve it a bit.

Otherwise, good stuff in deed.

 

[Blind Pew]

Also consider going as dark in an arc from under his thoigh, round his backside and along his back, possibly on the hat. It would make him appear a little bit rounder. Anyway, some people never get to grips with green, but you clearly have managed it Pete - well done

Okay, I added more shadow. Maybe still not enough, but better. BP, thanks for the advice.
Bob, it's about a 60mm figure.

 

[Blind Pew]

A definate improvement. This is lovely little flat. I love the presentation as well - very imaginative and in keeping with the subject - a job well done mate.

 

[pgarri27]

Thanks Pew.

 

[Stephan]

you getting better.

 

[pgarri27]

Thanks for the advice. The wood elf got a silver at the Atlanta show.

 

[Blind Pew]

And well deserved, too. Overall great presentation on this one Pete. That frame really sets it off.

 

[billyturnip]

Congratulations Pete, well deserved.

Roger.

The Elf is a first rate flat Pete, I think it's absolutely beautiful. Keep at it man, you've got the knack.

Well done...very familiar with reliefs. ( called flats in the miniature world )........sometimes tough to bring out the flat into 3 dimension......Again...very nice job.......regards.....Wayne

Beautifully done and a well deserved award.
The 'Greenwood' colour scheme works brilliantly with the perfect background and frame.
