Bravo!
Could anyone link a OSL painting guide?


Remind me over the weekend and i'll link you. Didn't strictly follow a guide myself, but have read a few in the past. Essentially make the reflection more intense nearer the light source, and use a complimentary colour for the shade. So the fire bits are bright yellow and orange, bit I mixed a deep navy into all the parts receiving no direct light from the fire

Nicely done. It's good to see that you've added the simultaneous contrast to the osl as it adds a certain artistic flair.

Great work Gene. You've captured the essence of the scene very well.

Best Frodo and Sam at Mt. Doom we've ever seen! You just need Gollum with a nice rock in his hand! :-D Outstanding execution on the fire effect!

Will you do lava on their bases?

Thanks. Don't think I'll be doing any lava though. The implication being that they are up at a height.

No idea. Typically, as soon as I have a week off I'm on a Star Wars buzz. Might watch TTT at the weekend and see what happens.

No idea is right! Three years without doing a single mini. TBH I'd gone right off it all, just as I was getting good. So owing to the impending launch of Star Wars Legion, and having a brief holiday romance with a massive LOTR fan, I've dusted off the brushes and dug out some old minis. Fairly happy with this, but a lot of the character got lost in the shading. Might add some moonlight contrast highlights to bring a bit of life back into it

Welcome back!
I actually kind of like how dark it is, I think it fits the scene well. The osl is very nicely done, I think you nailed it! :yay:

It's just an undercoat really. I use quite transparent layers, going light to dark with shades - so they should end up dark with just a suggestion of moonlight coming from above.


I completely forgot how to paint this way, but I watched some vids today amd feel back on track. I mainly do Star Wars legion now but have nothing better to do for the lockdown so gonna try get the fellowship done

Thank you very much, I didn't expect anyone to remember me. That's a very nice thing to say. I gave up about 5 years ago I think, just as I was getting good. Been doing legion for about 2 years but generally just to a good tabletop standard as it's a game I've really taken to so they get used. I also split the painting with my brother whonis still a novice.

Now I'm eager to get a few display level dioramas done for lotr which I only ever occasionally played but loved to collect. What better time than quarantine. Been reading the book again too.

Im quite active on instagram @abbmodels for more updates.

Sharpened up the eyes again and warmed up the face. Darkened the clothes. Going in the right direction. No rush to get it done

I enjoy your updates on Instagram, Gene and it is great to have you posting on OR. I like what you're doing with Aragorn. He looks nicely weathered and his face is pretty intense, much like Viggo's can be. Looking forward to seeing some dioramas from you!
