He's really starting to pop. You aren't finished with the horns yet, are you? Also, if I might suggest it, I'd put a strong contrasting colour (maybe a red or an orange) on some of the details, like the gems, to really emphasise them and him through the juxtaposition. Thanks for the progress update.

He looks great David. I really like the colour of his dress. Like Jon said, add a small dash of colour and he'll look fine. =) Kuffy |

It may be all the blue from his dress thing but the leaves don't seem to be green enough to me - they seem to have a bluish tint to them. The model itself is looking great though, can't wait to see him finished.

I'm calling this bugger done. I've named him The One Year Weaver since I spent a year not painting him. Looking back, I think I dove in pretty hard with no real vision of where I was going to take him as to color and mood. I was caught up in his flowing robes and painted them that aqua green. I picked at his skin but didn't like base color I'd chosen and had trouble painting around the bindings across his torso. So I put him down and ignored him for many months. I picked him up a week and a half ago, determined to clear my painting queue and have since remembered why I put him down in the first place. I feel like I spent a lot of time on his hair for minimal payoff. The vines give the model a Dionysian flair, or maybe a Christ look. The horns do make a nice halo, after all. I settled on the skin, too, not even glazing the final layers. I tried Fair Skin first and panicked as soon as I saw the results. I switched to the Rosy triad and liked the results well enough to call it done and move to the spites. So yeah, I still like the model, but I don't think I did it justice. There are parts I pulled off well but as a whole I think it falls short. I repainted more on this model than I have on probably any other. It was a lesson in perpetual dissatisfaction, which is one reason I think it best to call it done. After the Weaver are the finally finished Dryads. Two months later. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ---------- Post added at 22:19 ---------- Previous post was at 22 8 ----------I need to drybrush the gravel and some of the herb mix, maybe dab a bit of ink here or there on those areas. I like the static grass. I paint the edge of the base with blackened brown, maybe a medium brown. ![]()

I think he looks a lot better as a completed model than as a WIP and I understand the feeling of enough is enough. Sometimes you just have to put a model down and call it done. For my part, I think he looks pretty good.
