Monday Miniatures: Anirion
Work monopolized my weekend, so I got no painting done. Fortunately I started on Thursday, so I still have something to post. I hope that all you loyal readers have had a much more relaxing week than I.
I was having fun with this one – trying to paint linen. A little more time for blending, and I think it would have turned out pretty good. The eyes on this one were an especially large pain.
Antonia did a wonderful job with the Anirion, despite also being pressed for time. I love the mottled color scheme she chose.
Everyone else most have been just a shade busier than us, because that’s all that was submitted. Here’s to next week being more fruitful and relaxing for everyone.
Update:
Magnus submitted this lovely green and gold mage just after I went to sleep.
Kylie was also up until the wee hours to finish off that gorgeous freehand work on the robe.
Oh Rats! – Let’s knock out another group of minor minis!

Sorry for the late submission; my camera’s memory card wasn’t being recognized by my computer, so I was delayed getting the pictures uploaded.
Kudos to those who attempted a pattern on the robe. I thought about it, but I couldn’t come up with anything I thought would look good.
I’m sorry too, for being late. Its not so much that I was up in the wee hours as I live in Australia so there is a huge gap in time zones.I have been running around trying to get ready for travelling overseas next week and not had a chance to upload photos on the computer.
David – White Linen is hard and I think you did a really good job! I found the eyes really hard too, I blame the hood! I took me several attempts before I got to a “that will do” point.
Antonia – I really love the look – it makes the robes look almost velvet-y. He really looks very rugged up, like it is cold.
Magnus – I think you are the only one who embraced the “wood-elf” he is supposed to be and I think it worked really well. you did a really good job on the shading.
Thanks for the complements on my robe, I need more practice on free-hand – particularly smaller details. Still I am very proud of this one 🙂
Thanks, Kylie! I try to stick with the “original theme” (i.e., the Reaper label) for each of the figures, unless I have a specific idea in mind (such as Malek-Skeletor). I’m not currently playing any RPGs or wargames, so I’m focused on building up a “miniature-bank” for future games. Bones are a great way to do that, as they cover a lot of different bases! 😉
