Bonaccia: Bodice, Cloak, Blade

I did the shading and highlighting on the piping on her bodice, then went back and highlighted the cloak. Last, I've started the blade. That's a base coat and a first round of shadow. I think it's just finishing the blade and then painting her base that's left.

Bonaccia: Bodice

Today I put highlights on Bonaccia's bodice. Then, rather than go on to the cloak, I put in the gold piping. I wanted to see how it was going to all go together. So far, so good.

Bonaccia: Boots, Cloak, Ruffles, Bodice

Today I put the top highlight on her boots and gloves, though I may go back with a bit of a purple glaze since everything else has a bit of purpley highlights. I did the ruffles, then painted the bodice purple and re-based the cloak with the same purple. Pretty sure I like it better than the black cloak, though I don't love it as much as I thought I would.

Bonaccia: Hair, Boots, Gloves, Cloak

I finished Bonaccia's hair today. It's an experiment; I want it to read as black, and went with a much more saturated blue-purple than I would usually use. Have to see what it looks like when everything else at least has a base color on it.

I continued the expermienting. Her sleeves and leggings are a not-quite-black that leans purple, the boots and gloves are a true black, and the cloak is a neutral but less dark black. The differences are visible, but they are also very subtle so they are only apparent if you look very close, under good lighting. I'm not sure I like that much black; I am thinking I will change the cloak to a dark purple instead. I finished the highlights on the sleeves and leggings, and started highlights on the boots and gloves. I want to give them a shiny, glossy look, so I will finish them up with white, and probably end up pulling back some of the blues that are there.

Bonaccia: Mask, Hair

I continued on with Bonaccia today. Did the mask, including some freehand detail, and started on her hair. Just a base coat on that so far. Her colors are going to be purple, black, gold, and white, but I haven't quite decided where everything is going to go yet. Probably the tunic will be purple, and the boots and gloves black. The ruffles will be the while. The sleeves, leggings, and cloak...not sure yet.

14!

Here's Lanaerel, all finished.

Also got in a little work on Bonaccia, just detailing what there is of her face.

Lanaerel: Bits & base

I've got his gold bits and silver buckles finished, and have the base there or mostly there. He's done, but I might futz with the base a bit more before I call that finished - paint some of the leaves, particularly the ones in back, and maybe add a bit of water effect. Or I may just leave it as is. In any case, he's almost done, but I'm not quite ready to give him his number yet.
