Sid's Tally Ho

For my sins I still have a Balrog - unassembled in it's box. I have been trying to get up the courage and have the time to do it justice. It would also be a great piece to get back into painting with.

I must upload my old Cave Troll picture to my gallery.

Love you painting, Sid - Radagast in particular is very lovely and realistic! Myself, I've given up trying to paint eyes to figures, my eyesight / hand coordination is simply not up to the task, but you seem to manage that effortlessly!

Thanks Celevue!

My 10/0 brush really helps with the eyes

You should

He's a big, big, big model and he takes a while to paint but it makes a great centerpiece

Hey folks

Got round o painting my Khazad dum Gandalf... reallly fantastic sculpt... very good indeed

Thanks for looking and, as always, C&C welcome

Very smooth painting Sid but I can't help but think he needs some shading to create more depth.
I agree, it's a great figure to paint.

Wow! He looks great, mate! You're becoming a very talented painter, Sid! Keep up the good work

BizzareWarstar · **Posted:** Mon Mar 04, 2013 3:49 am

wow!, very nice Sid :yay:

Constantine · **Posted:** Mon Mar 04, 2013 6:04 am

Very crisp painting. His face is wonderful, all wrinkly and weathered as it ought to be :-D

. I will disagree, I don't think he needs more shades, he is fine in my opinion.

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Tue Mar 05, 2013 9:33 pm

Thanks so much for your C&C everyone! really encouraging and helping me to improve (I hope lol) :-D

I'd be interested to hear what people think of the crystal in his staff. I did some small OSL and a bit of gem painting on it but I'm not quite sure about it... Any thoughts?

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Tue Mar 05, 2013 10:09 pm

The OSL looks good and a nice touch. If anything a touch more translucent would be better but a great effort.

thats great man keep up the good work, that sculpt is something special, I used mine for a depiction of pallando the blue

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 5:31 pm

Thanks folks

It's been rather busy of late and I haven't been able to get an awful lot done but here's another dwarvy that I started ages ago and only finished yesterday...

I liked GW's red-ish colours on this one but decided that it was too boring so I decided, as usual, to do it Sid-style. :-D

comments and criticism are most welcome

Thanks for looking...

PS. I sort of decided to leave out the logo thing... it was too much hastle in the editing

Thermo · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 5:48 pm

You get better with every miniature Sid, bravo!

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 5:55 pm

Thanks Thermo! Glad to hear you like him... I wasn't so sure about the colour scheme to start with

Rognarr · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 7:12 pm

Wow Sid.. what the heck man!!? You want us others to stop painting?? :shock:

This Dori there.. is incredible... just wow..

Dorthonion · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 7:18 pm

Well done again Sid. All this painting and studying... where do you find the time? (don't say on a clockface or you will be B a z o o k a ed!) :no:

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Sun Mar 17, 2013 8:40 pm

@Rognarr:

Ha ha Thanks mate!

@Dorth: on a clockface! (sorry, I couldn't resist :rofl:

)
But seriously though... hobbying, studying, reading, eating and sleeping are pretty much the main stuff I do in my day and I rarely do much else in spare time really.

Dori and Gandalf look great mate. Good job :yay:
