recently I showed you two versions of Haydn, the female dwarf by Hasslefree.
I am using this model for my first one of MV's Jar's Advanced Class in Graz in February.
I will not paint her again ,yself during the class, but my students will do. I am just there to help everyone.
The class covers several interesting topics I like to talk about, for example a better understanding of painting skintones, learning the magic of painting white and black, learning to paint tattoos, painting a face, advanced light theory and color theory. Even some basing composition will be learned and this only on a gaming base. All in 28 mm. Much to learn you see. These two ladies are the two versions the students can work on. One Wasteland Raider or a Troll Slayer version.
In fact both models are not the same. The Troll Slayer is Version A (non-naked breasts) and the Wasteland Raider is version B (naked breasts). The Wasteland Raider recieved two minor conversions: A different weapon head and an attached skull face plate to her left shoulder.
I really enjoyed changing the topic of this miniature with these minor conversions, but what I enjoyed the most was painting her ripped jeans parts. This was not sculpted but painted and thick color was used to make it even three dimensional. Hah!
Haydn, the Wasteland Raider
Hasslefree, 28 mnm
Let me know what you think of her or if you got any questions via comments
Keep on happy painting!

No comments?? This is amazing work! Your stuff keeps getting better and better, which is very cool considering what you've already done.
ReplyDeleteBy better I mean conceptually. More art, more vision. Not to say your work from few years back didn't have those things, but I just really like how there are some bold and new (for me at least :p) choices and ideas. Always something fresh to inspire others.
I think everyone can agree your painting is insane on a technical level, which is one reason I so much admire these kind of honest works. They don't maybe strive for pleasing the masses, but for artistic vision or just the joy of doing. I don't know if that's whats going on, but that's the feeling I get.
I stop now, 'cause I don't want to sound like a suck-up. I just really like this piece, that's all :)

ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your nice comment. Do not worry, comments go and come. I mean we are close to Christmas and there might be a reason for less comments these days. Everybodys busy with stuff. I know it myself, just moved some days ago, now Christmas ahead. Crazy.
The more I appreciate your comment. I am happy that you like her and honestly your words exactly match my feelings these days when it comes to painting:

Stunnig. Simply stunning. The amount of detail you have managed to paint on astounds me. I also really like the minor conversions you have done. Is there any chance you could share where you got that mace head?

Thank you Dosjetka, well the mace head was found in one of my crazy bitsboxes I collected over the years. I have no clue where it is originally from. I like to collect weapon sprues here and there for such conversions, for example the ones from Hasslefree here: http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=fantasy-%26%0D%0Asteampunk~fantasy-armoury
