Wow Jan that looks amazing! What technique did you use to get the back of his cloak to look like that?

Cheers I_F. The back of the cloak is done with layers of wet-in-wet painting. Then going back and highlighting some of the edges of the 'clouds' and deepening some of the black areas

Aye, glorious work on that cloak. It encompasses the scope of universe that a character such as Eldrad has. Did you copy any particular nebula/galaxy (apologies here, I am no star-gazer) or just make something up? It is excellent either way.

Nah. Just made it up as I went along.

Thanks for sharing your techniques again Jan. Another one for me to file away as something I'd love to try later.

Hey, no worries I_F; always happy to pass on anything that helps other folk
Now I gotta go sketch up some embroidered hem runes o.O

Korean thanksgiving has arrived so it's the start of a five day weekend - shwing!!!! Up at gak'o'clock of course to give some brush love. Eldrad finally has his head attached so let's have a little WiP of how pointyface is coming along. Happy as feth with this dude so far. Tidy up and bring out his embroidery next.



Hope y'like - cheers for looking in

Jan

Very Nice work there dude. Super nice. My favorite thing youve painted so far in fact. Cant wait to see him done.

BB

Cheers bebop. Dead happy with how he's coming along

Absolutely stunning work Jan, I am both humbled and intimidated by your amazing brushwork and techniques, this Eldrad is coming along amazingly. Really glad I got to see this work in progress at each stage.

Eldrad is stunning mate. Beautiful job so far!

Cheers AoV. Hopefully finish him up by the weekens

Your Eldrad is coming along nicely, love his star cape and those fancy grey gems.

He's looking sweet Jan. The cream is lovely and smooth, as are the gems. Nice stuff.

Many thanks guys. Off to the in-laws today for Chusek (Korean thanksgiving) so no paint till I get back tomoro. Nearing the finish with Eldrad though. Really looking forward to getting him all done and onto his base though

Cloak(s)' embroidery runes done. Off to visit the inlaws now.

Januine,

Wonderful work on Eldarad's cloak.

Cheers,

CB

Eldrad is looking pretty damn cool Jan. Stunning work .

Muchos Gracias fellas. Heading home on the train now after visiting the inlaws so hopefully get some paint down this evening. Still trying to decide what to do with his bloody sword ><

Fething beautiful. Really top work.

Thx everyone. Don't think there'll be much done today. At the vet's with the dog now as she's really sick. Thx to the inlaws over feeding her meat. Meat that's cooked in fething garlic. Not a happy Jan at the mo

Gorgeous runes on that robe, so subtle yet so gorgeous.

Blimey, I thought that dogs and garlic not mixing was common knowledge. I hope that your dog is recovering well.

That Eldrad, stunning work on the robes and tassles there. Hope you get a chance to finish him over the weekend.

Eldrad is coming along really nicely. With that cloak in play, all he needs now is a t-shirt with a wolf's head and a dreamcatcher on it.

Eldrad is finished. All done. Based and cabineted until I get the camera out to take some decent snaps.

Dog is doing fine. Was talking to the vet and every Chuseok (Korean thanksgiving) they get a ridiculous number of pets, esp docs being brought in sick as ...well,... Dogs bcs of folk feeding them all the wrong thing as 'treats'. It was mostly the completely fething stupid amount of pork and pork fat they kept giving my dog that's made her I'll. She's only about 4.5kg yet she threw up about a soup bowl's worth of pure meat and fat. I'm still fething raging about it. But anyways .... She's alive and recovering so that's the main thing.

Beautiful work, Artificer Januine .

I've had a similar experience with my dog, mate. I won't let her have pork anymore, as it causes her a huge problem when she needs to go for #2. Usually at daft o'clock in the morning. Can't climb stairs when she's like that, so I have to carry her (and pray she doesn't explode on me-not happened yet!)

Luckily (or unluckily depending on how you look at it), I've never owned a dog, but after "doggysitting" one for the best part of 6 months on and off, I've found that you never, ever give them "human" food . I'm sure that how you've described the situation you do the same. Hopefully she makes a speedy recovery!

Cheers lads. The little one is doing fine. Gotta bring her back tot the vet today for a checkup but she's bounced back nicely.
Will try and get some proper pics of Eldrad up later today

Eldrad looks awesome Jan.

Glad the dog is better

Thx Joe
