Ronso: Chest plate, base

 I got highlights on Ronso's breast plate, did the gems (simple black), and started on the base. Almost there.

Ronso: Greaves

Highlights on Ronso's greaves. NMM is always a little harrowing to do, because it doesn't really come together until it's done. It looks unconvincing until you get that last highlight on there, and then suddenly it's all fine, as if by magic.



Gotta finish the breastplate, then the gems, and then the base. Almost there!

Ronso: Beads, straps

 I got highlights on the beads on Ronso's braids today, and also on the straps for his armor. Not a lot done, but I got a late start.

Ronso: Braids. Building.

 I worked on Ronso's braids tonight, adding shading and highlighting. I also put a base coat for gold on the beads at the end of the braids.



I've also been working on another building. This is a prototype to check for scale and experiment with different ways to deal with some of the rest. It's meant to be a townhouse.


The bay window section needs to be wider and the space left of it smaller. I experimented with different materials and widths for the siding, and I've settled on 1/4" wide cardboard. Technically to be in scale it should be narrower. I tried some 1/8" strips, but it gets really hard to overlap correctly. 

If you're curious, the top row is popsicle sticks, plasticard under that, and then two widths of cardboard. I could also try coffee stirrers, which are thinner and narrower than popsicle sticks.

Spike Trap

 I started painting this thing...I don't even know. Two, three months ago? Anyway, I finished it up today.
