I think I need to reestablish some of the lining on the skin side of where the skin meets the armor, too.

Back to the vestal
Got back to working on the vestal today. Finished her hair and put a base coat on her armor. With the previous two vestals, I used brown as a shadow color for their hair. On this one, I used purple - the same dark purple I'm using as the base for the NMM on their swords - RMS Dark Elf Shadow. I ended up glazing it with the hair base color because it seemed a little too dark, but overall I like the look. I think it's better than the brown shadows. There was a span where her hair looked very flame-esque, but I lost that somewhere along the line. It might have been when I toned down the purple shadows, or it might have been too much fussing with the highlights.

I absolutely love what you've done with her hair! I really like the vestal miniatures and I'm looking forward to see what you make of them.
ReplyDeleteThanks again! I've got a set of 5 that I've been working on, all with the same coloration, for technique practice (hair, skin, and NMM - after all, what else is there on them?). After this set, I have 5 more that I'll probably do with different colors from these. It'll probably be a similar set of variations, though. Start out with a baseline, and then make minor-ish changes to see how it can be improved.
