Next time you should remove the lines. Now it is very visible on the face and boots.

@Dead marsh: used a white basecoat - the green is dark angels green and i went over the total figure with a devlan mud wash (including the cape)

Any chance of a picture of the back mate?

Yeah i know about the mould lines - or i forgot to remove them and already basecoated him- or i tought i would cut away to much by my clumsiness. Don't remember to well

ok tried a little piece first - didn't cost alot of time

They might be not really on scale but i tryd to do my best. The toes are quite hard - if u want them visible and not getting lost in the rest of the mud.

Ah very good, I wondered what you mean when you mentioned invisible Frodo, as I thought it wouldn't need any work lol. That's great

really love the green cloak you have used some superb colours also the footprints are brilliant they have a good realistic size and shape for a hobbit :-D

Footprints looking great matey.. I'm guessing its a lot harder than your making it look. :yay:

garmenhord · **Posted:** Wed Nov 30, 2011 8:54 am

It's a bit hard to see from first sight where the footprints are now. I tryd to make it look like mudd a bit by adding some nailpolish to make it shiney.

Well, its very messy now, and nothing is clear. If you work in the miniature world, a basic fact, that you need contrast, cause from a distance the human eyes could recognize the details.
For this reason, we use darker shadowes and highlights, so then everything will be clear.
Anyway, I higly not recommend the glossy varnish, cause then the lights makes everything wrong. I see, there is a river on the base, use just there light varnish, and some dropp some where, but not for the all, cause then it became some alien organizme.

I found a great example for Frodo footprints:

I have to agree that the varnish has distorted the highlights on the base - depending on how thickly the varnish has been applied you could still highlight just slightly around each footprint this will make them stand out more. Overall decent attempt tho mate well done!! :yay:

I like the shield, but the rest is too messy. I think now you should put some highlights, cause the contrast is not fine enough. Mainly you should give some highlight for the cape. And for the gloves too, it will be much better, if you paint the fingers carefully with the tiny brush.

The shield is awesome mate

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Wed Dec 21, 2011 12:15 am

The shield is excellent!

The shield looks fab mate, but I second the suggestions Bastion.HUN has made. Good job.
