Shire news: more painted Ruffians and a small tutorial update
Indeed, indeed, I painted another Ruffian. Well actually two!
I finished most of the one posted below on saturday, but only came arround to finishing the details on thuesday. I painted another one yesterday in just two hours!! I must admit that I allready did the drybrushing part on saturday though. No pictures of it yet however. I did the painting, but it was too late for basing it.
More photos can be found in my Shire photolog on Flickr
So a quick overview of what is done for scenario one and what needs to be done. Two off the Ruffians will have to be replaced by a model with whip later on though.
- 1 Ruffian with bow done
- 2 Ruffian with whip 1 down, 1 to go
- 2 Ruffian with hand weapon done
- Farmer Maggot and hounds
I will hopefully get the rest done during my holiday week, but I’m not going to rush it. I don’t think that there will be photo updates during that week though. I don’t have Photoshop at home and I need it to adjust the light balance.
As for my small tutorial update.
After experementing a little more with the drybrush – glaze technique, I found that using 2 drops of glaze medium isn’t always advised. I found that I prefer a more 1:1 or 1:1.5 mix of paint:medium. Haven’t used water since I got my medium, so I can’t yet say if I need to adjust my amount of water.
