Agreed that base is incredible, I'm going to have to try and copy it. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Ah yes, now I rememmbered...

I did paint Haldir in an alternative color scheme in the late 2017. I was practicing non-metallic-metal and in the end it looked okey-ish.



more picks soon

Hi guys, long time...

I have recently got back to painting a bit of my elven collection, and here is one of the results.




After a little bit of cutting and gluing together I finished with this lad. What do you think?

Looks good, I like the stars on the cloak.

For the cloak, I would try blending your color transitions even more so the lines aren't as noticeable. Looking at clothing designs and color gradients between folds and higher areas helps a lot.

Also, as your studying pictures, try imagining where the highlights may hit more than lower blends of highlights. This will give your clothing another dimension.

@Feanorthenoldor Thank you for your comment, everything you said stands

I have also experimented with a new color scheme for some Rivendell spear-elves. I always wanted to do a cold-color combination for these models and finally got the time to sit down and think about it. This is just a basic paintjob, nothing fancy, just to see how everything fits together.

The color scheme looks good. I think you could introduce a bit of gold into it but if you stick with the steel/iron look, I think it compliments the robe colors well. Nice work on the gem in the shield as well

The funny thing about purple is apparently, according to the paint gurus, you can have warm purple or cold purple, depending on the red/blue ratio. I would say that is a warm purple and that I like it very much.

@Kuribo Apparently, I'm not sticking with a single color scheme just because of the experimenting I'm doing with these guys (when you are a commission painter you should be using your own models for experiments). Anyway, I like this particular colors and thanks for the support

@GreatKhanArtist Thanks. This should have been cold purple, but I think as well that it matches well with the rest of the miniature (to be precise, I used screamer pink as a base color and worked my way up to the emperors children (citadel colors)). Thanks for the comment

Anyway, here is how the whole army looks so far
