Cheers people's :-D

I thought I should set myself a task and decided to go nice and easy for a start. Went with the fellowship and I'll hopefully finish the this week. Will get started tomorrow after school most likely.

seems like drum doesn't get lots of homework :-D

lol okay a week may be a bit of an over statement. Not that I don't get much homework, just I did the most of it last week. Went for Gimli first, he's quite hard to tell apart his clothes actually. Will work on him a bit more laters.

C&C's are always welcome

looks good so far.
Don't know if you have already finished the face or not but a light was with scorched brown would help with bringing a bit more life to it.
Oh and there is a mould line/ leftover metal on his right boot (left one on the picture).
If you can still remove it, it would look much better when finished.

looking forward to the next update.

lol garmenhord, will try my best.

I did actually add a light shade of brown mixed with elf flesh around the eyes but you can't see it on the photo I'm afraid. I added some more but a deeper colour, hopefully you can see it better now. Got rid of that nasty mould line, good one Aqan. I think I'll leave it at that, can't be bothered to work on him more. Only thing that bugs me is that all the colors are very deep like the red, browns and even the beard etc..

Great job on Gimli!

thanks Bilbo

Update as promised, started work on Aragorn. It's a little dark around the eyes might need to sort that, what cha think? Otherwise it looks like he hasn't slept for a while (like me in the mornings)

Finished. There are maybe a few bits I would change, but then again I'm too lazy.

DRUM! You my friend are amazing! If you finish the whole Fellowship in a week, which it looks like you will, I'll be very impressed!

Gimli-Awesome
Aragron- Awesome, face could possibly use a wash of Dark Flesh? A bit light for my taste but his green cloak it top notch!

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2011 6:58 pm

Looks good Drum - weathering on the cloak is excellent!

Oldman Willow · **Posted:** Tue Aug 30, 2011 7:25 pm

Looks good!

Thanks folks for the support. I agree draked he might need a quick face wash.

I got some more done and worked on Gandalf. I'm not very happy with him and he's actually a lot more difficult than I thought, especially the beard since I coated it in black. I didn't work on the face too much since you can't really see it on the model unless you actually have a proper inspection of him.

3 down, 6 to go!

I for one think he looks spectacular! Keep it going Drum!

Drum - Gandalf looks great , his beards fine - I always start with a black basecoat too it just means you usually have to go one highlight further than you would like to have done.
