Dain: Armor and More

Continued work on Dain today. Got his armor finished and started on his packs and sundries. He has a lot more armor on him than I thought.

With this much armor and since I'm under time constraints, I went back to functional but not the greatest technique: I slapped a wash on it. On the leather bits, too. For the armor, I went back and put in highlights separately. I'll do the same with the packs next time.

Bones Interlude: Dain, Face and Hair

The weather is supposed to be warm and clear for a couple days next week. It's likely to be my last change to use spray-on sealer this year. So, I'm going to try to finish one more Bones guy by then.

Here he is: Dain Deepaxe. Got a long way to go in a couple days.

13!

Finished Dionne today. Pretty happy with her...also just realized I forgot to give her eyebrows. Gonna have to fix that.

Dionne: Totally Not A Vampire

Just got back from Reaper ArtistCon. I taught a couple of classes there and got some painting done as well. Some of that I did for Reaper and don't have pictures of, but I also had time to get back to Dionne here.

This is what I did while at ArtistCon. Finished her face and hair, base coated the rest of her, and started highlights on the coat. I'm going to try to make the coat look like cloth, and her body suit look like vinyl. So, as cloth, the coat is getting soft, wide highlights. The body suit will get narrower highlights that will go brighter.

All that being said, the highlights on the coat do need to be brighter. So, here's what I did today. That's finishing the highlights on the coat and starting them on the body suit. I'm pretty happy with the coat. The highlights on the body suit I need to blend and narrow, and then go back with a lighter color.

12!

Finished the cleric. Wow, my count for this year is really pathetic. I'll get a few more done before January.

Cleric: Cloak, Tabard

This is actually a couple days of work, but some of it I did late enough at night I couldn't get pictures that day. Here, I've finished his cloak and tabard with all the shading and highlights. There's not actually a whole lot left for this guy. Couple days more and he'll be done. I'm heading off to Reaper's ArtistCon next week, so I probably won't get back to Freya until after that.

Cleric: Shading the Cloak

Got in a little work on this guy today. I was shading the cloak. It still needs a bit of work.
