Not Quite Dead Posted August 24, 2019 Author Posted August 24, 2019 Nicely done. She seems to have a quite stern expression. Really interesting. And, as Belkar used to say to Roy: « I hate to see you leave, but I love to watch you go. » *cough* 2
Primeval Posted October 25, 2019 Posted October 25, 2019 Finally finished Savage Belit; she has a little extra hair on the left side of her face to cover a casting flaw but I think that actually highlights her face better. 4
garbetsp Posted May 24, 2020 Posted May 24, 2020 Not happy with the face on Belit savage. That's a surprisingly difficult one to paint well. 3
Not Quite Dead Posted May 25, 2020 Author Posted May 25, 2020 Faces are always a tough part of the job. Even with a perfectly sculpted mini, the slightest move at the worse moment can ruin a lot of hard work. I remember that I spent quite numerous tries on Hadrathus and 'classic' Belit heads with no luck, and I finally gave up. Well, one can't win every single battle, not even Conan. Furthermore, what's important is to win the war, and this is something you're very close to, I guess, seing how much new miniatures you've posted since the last time I've checked. 1
Not Quite Dead Posted July 24, 2021 Author Posted July 24, 2021 And here's my version of Belit, Queen of the Black Coast: The eyes are too big. With that hair, she looks a bit like some manga girl. Anyway, I'll keep her that way, as I've so many mini left to paint. 1
garbetsp Posted September 9, 2021 Posted September 9, 2021 One trick I've had some success with on the eyes is to take a dark flesh shade and try to do a horizontal stroke under to make them more of a slit opening. I've been painting them like this, then coming back and carefully edging it to a more narrow opening with dark flesh. Then occasionally it goes too far and much cursing is required as you start over. 1
