For the love of trolls
Hang on!...That's not a troll!!!
So, since he did travel in a tiny black box with a troll/ogre, I decided to pop Watson into this project. I guess having tea and biscuits across the pond, with a big, burly, bitter dude will at least qualify him as Honorary Troll Member.
He was an absolute joy to paint. I took inspiration from the old BBC series, with Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Watson. They are still my favorite duo <3. Also, it gave me the perfect excuse to rewatch the show 🙂
Thank you so so much @avernos for letting me paint this lil guy. Loved every minute of it <3
Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson
I decided he was standing in some flowery english field. Perfect excuse to try those ‘flowers’ I just bought. They were a lil’ stark right out of the box, so I added some wash to the base and some drybrushing to the top. Think it made it blend better into the ground.
I’ve primarily used Scale75 colors, but will note when I’ve used another brand:
Skin: Basic Flesh, Reikland Fleshshade (Citadel), Basic Flesh, Light Skin
Shirt: Nacar, White Sands, Titanium White (PRIMAcryl)

This pic shows off the white somewhat better.
fantastic work, lovely to see the old fella getting some fresh air 🙂
