Havent painted for a while but here is Galadriel. This has to been one of the most beautiful sculpts I have ever painted. There are a couple hard to reach spots but in the end the sculpt lends itself to the paintbrush like few others. This is my first attempt at a major blending of colors from very different parts of the spectrum. I also returned to the world of NMM for the breast plate, and OSL for the base. I thoroughly enjoyed painting this model. I will also enter this mini into the painting challenge!

I like the OSL, great work!

Very cool color scheme. Scary witch of the woods.

Very nicely done.

Gorgeous piece man! I love the way the colors progress from north to south.

I like the piece, my only critique (and perhaps the only one possible with this piece lol) is the transition of colors looks smoother on her left than her right. Idk if that's intentional as part of the OSL but it stuck out to me.

That being said it's another beautiful piece, I hope to match your level of skill someday lol

Best piece to date Randy - well done mate

Impressive job. There are no words.

Wonderful work! I hope we see her something like this when she (err, I'll shut up now in case of a spoiler...)

But you know what I mean.

Thanks everybody for the kind words. Here is another piece I just finished. This is my first large-scale attempt at NMM and I am rather pleased with the outcome. There isn't a drop of metallic paint on this mini! Although it took forever to paint it was tons of fun and I don't know that I will ever go back to painting them with metallics. I also added a few free hands to the shield and the sword scabbard.

Outstanding Randy. was fun watching the progress of this piece take shape.

The NMM is outstanding!

I doubt I would have regognized it if you hadn't said anything... The freehands and the rest of the mini are great as well but unfortunately the pictures are a liitle small. Could you upload them single? For example the wooden structure and the face are hard to see...

Excellent Randy, I think NMM is my next adventure.

Where has my lower jaw (what's left of it) gone?

Harfoot · **Posted:** Sat Aug 02, 2014 9:06 pm

brilliant, thought it was metallics until i read your text, how long did it take?

BillFerny333 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2014 2:29 pm

Thanks everyone!
@SoF I'll get some single shots of it posted.

@Harfoot, not sure, had a real busy week at work working pretty much 24/7 so I had to pick away at it here and there. Maybe 10-15 hours of actual painting time. I would paint each piece of armor individually. took forever

Wonderful painting! You continue to astound. I too thought that was metallics! :yay:

I can't believe this is your first full-blown attempt at NMM! Very well done :yay:

mertaal · **Posted:** Mon Aug 04, 2014 6:39 am

Yep, I too thought it was metallics! Excellent work

Sithious · **Posted:** Mon Aug 04, 2014 7:38 pm

Looks awesome. Very well painted.

I would say I want to try NMM, but I know I don't.

looks like a pain in the butt.

Valadorn · **Posted:** Tue Aug 05, 2014 7:12 am

Dilluted paint and many feather layers make miracles!
(Extremely) well done, maybe the best of his kind I ve ever seen!
