Brbla's Thunderwolf Cavalry
Faces... Am I Mad?
Yesterday I set on painting the faces, hair and some more details like the runes on the shields, gems on the armour etc.
I tried to shade the faces, I might have overdone it so I feel like I’ll need to go back to them later still. The hair would also deserve some more attention so I think this is by no means done. But I tried to do the eyes, which you sadly can’t see on the pics, because my phone’s camera has a lot of problems focusing the minis, but… they are there! More or less…
With the runes I initially painted one shield with a very dark wash, and then thought that light colour might look quite good as well so I tried a light blue. I quite like the light ones, but ultimately Brbla wanted the dark ones so… one special snowflake!
My phone has similar issues when I use a background with any real pattern, like the wood grain of your table. Try a plain piece of paper under and see if it helps. I find grey or something off white also helps with color balance. Looking forward to seeing these guys completed so keep up the good work.
That sounds reasonable, will try to follow your advice and see how that goes 🙂 Thank you for the suggestion and kind words!
