Nemesra: Dress & Bits

I highlighted Nemesra's dress and futzed with the shadows a bit (yes, that is totally a technical term). I may still tweak the blue a bit more, I haven't decided. But I did move on to the other bits of her costume. I've ended up going with beige instead of yellow because I want to make most of her jewelry gold, and I didn't want gold jewelry competing with yellow cloth.

Nemesra: Dress Shading

So, why exactly did I think saturated blue was a good idea? I definitely started having second thoughts on that as I was laying shadows in on her dress.

I'm having a hard time deciding if the shadows are shadowy enough or not, so I'll probably go to putting on the highlights to get a sense of what the full range will look like and decide from there.

I'm also starting to think about transitioning the bottom of her dress to purple.

Nemesra: Hair, Dress

I continued on with Nemesra today. I put highlights on her hair, and then moved on to her dress. I'm a little out of my comfort zone with that super saturated blue, but so far I like it. It needs a few more coats of the base color as it's not quite fully opaque yet.

Nemesra: Skin, Hair

Got back to Nemesra today, who will be my ReaperCon piece. I did her skin and face and started the hair. There's a couple things on her face that I need to come back and clean up just a bit, I think.

11!

Here she is with her base. Done!

Nun - More metal bits

Did some shading and highlighting on the metal, and also put metallic on the guns. It just didn't look right having them as NMM - they didn't read as much like metal when compared to the TMM. The metals are all a bit rough but I think next time I'm just going to do the base and move on.

Nun: Metal Bits

The metal bits that aren't her guns, anyway. I still need to shade and highlight the larger gold areas.

Now, generally it's not so good to have NMM and TMM on the same figure. So, I should have done the brass bits in NMM, or I should go back over the guns with metallic paint. I probably won't. It's partly laziness on my part, and partly that I'm not going for real high quality on this one.
