Another great day at #Origins2010

I had two great Art College Sessions today, with the artist from Wyvern’s Tale, on blending colors, and painting eyes on minatures.  She’s been a great person to talk to about the mini’s this weekend, and does absolutely gorgeous work.  I can’t wait to start putting her advice to work on my own projects, and hope to run into her again at GenCon later this summer!

I watched some demo’s being played with the Splintered Light minis, but unfortunately didn’t get a chance to sit in personally.   There are war campaigns, and skirmish matches you can play with their mini’s now.  I can’t wait to give those a try!

Dip Shading

Eldessa & Lurien take a Dip

Here are the results of my maiden voyage using The Army Painter’s Quick Shade in Strong Tone.   You may remember Eldessa from Miniature Painting – Project 5, and Lurien from Miniature Painting – Project 1 if you want to take a look at some of the original photos.  Lurien did in fact go through a make over after that article was completed, my first attempt at painting her didn’t go quite as planned, but the over all color scheme is the same.

Since I have 20 in this set, I plan to break them up into several phases to complete the whole set.
