Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted August 13, 2017 This was a quite difficult miniature to paint, at least for me. The face and the jewels in the hair and on the body seem to be a bit random. I hope the other Bêlit will be more enjoyable to paint. What does your Queen of the Black Coast look like? 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted August 23, 2017 Nice one! Did you paint by any chance the original one as well? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mekhlis 82 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Maybe I should start doing eyes. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Painting eyes is always a tough moment for me. On that miniature, the face was so tiny, with few relief... I wasn't really happy with the result, even after several tries. But, I think that making eyes is worth the effort, even with miniatures that aren't meant for exhibition, but rather to play. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grimmshade 29 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 Painted up Savage one first, as I'm a big Buscema fan. Wish I had put a darker base under the golden jewelry. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rhell 21 Report post Posted August 24, 2017 I was not painting eyes on these minis because they looked fine when playing the game but now looking at the pics I think I will go back and add the eyes. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted February 17, 2018 It was less painful (read: I had more fun) painting Savage Bêlit than the "regular" one. The face of the miniature was better shaped, with proper nose and mouth. Made the eyes at the first attempt. That was unexpected. My wife was grumbling the whole time I was painting. It didn't happen with N'Gora. Go figure... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
iolaran 18 Report post Posted February 18, 2018 (edited) Sooo, here are my Bêlits. Did these like last year. Logo on the photo is that of my own (mini) blog; don't mind it :) Edited February 18, 2018 by iolaran Resize the photos 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted February 28, 2018 Your savage Bêlit has kinda sad eyes. It gives an interesting look to the whole miniature. I like it. I also like the very fair complexion of their skin, with high contrast with their "clothes". Which color did you use for the skin? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epaka 474 Report post Posted February 28, 2018 I painted the last of my Belit minis in my latest efforts... Haven’t touched the 3 big box Expansions, but getting very close to having finished everything from the core, all the add-ons, and all stretch goals... so... close... 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted March 1, 2018 Well done, @Epaka! I must confess that I'm a bit jealous: I have still 278 miniatures to paint. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it was Iraqui Sand (Vallejo 124) with Light Flesh (Vl-006) and Ivory (Vl-005) to do the lights; but I'm not hundred percent sure, sorry. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) It was a daring move to splash her with blood. I wished to do that with Savage Bêlit, but didn't dare. I really like the result, it encourages me to have a try! What type of brush did you use, @Epaka? Edited March 8, 2018 by Not Quite Dead Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the result, it encourages me to have a try! What type of brush did you use, @Epaka? I used an old toothbrush, dipped it lightly into a tub of Citadel’s Blood for the Blood God, and carefully flicked the bristles at her. I’ve done it with a few other minis as well, makes a great looking splatter effect. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted March 8, 2018 Thanks for the tip, @Epaka! I didn't get as large splatters as you. I guess it will take some practice, but I think the result has improved my Bêlit a bit. Before After (added some more shade and blood splatter) As I was afraid to get blood in her face (mostly in her eyes) I used a small tape to cover her face. The downside is that now, her head is too clean in contrast to her body... 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Epaka 474 Report post Posted March 9, 2018 Nice effect @Not Quite Dead! I think it looks good. You can perhaps use a toothpick to dip in the blood and add some small selective dabs to her face? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walrusboy77 88 Report post Posted April 27, 2018 Had to paint her twice to get to this, but overall I think she turned out pretty well. Still see all the flaws/lines in the sculpt every time I look at her, though. 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Captain 35 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 (edited) Here's my "vanilla" Bêlit. Camera focus is a bit off from her face, and despite two attempts to straighten the spear it still looks like a banana. I painted the other Bêlits as well, will post photos of them later. I painted them all at the same time because I wanted a consistent tone for the ivory skin Howard describes in Queen of the Black Coast.
