All Good Things


The final entry in the Helping Hand Challenge has arrived. I'm happy to say that for once my entry has been submitted on time. I'm less happy that a little work remains before he's truly finished.


My misadventures in NMM continue. I'm pleased with the helm and shield. The sword... maybe not so much.


Be sure to check out the work of the other participants at Duke of the Blood Keep and Deviant Designs Deeds.

    Wow, beautiful work. I haven't the patience for nmm, but I can really appreciate the skill it takes to pull off the technique when seeing it in others work. Top job!

      Many thanks, Roy. NMM is a technique I've meant to try but avoided in the past.

      Thank you, Michael. The mini photographs well. The brightest colors on the NMM seem to reflect light very strongly.

      Thanks, BK. What you achieve with metallics and washes is rather impressive.

    My favourite part is the back of the helm since you can see the transition from dark blue to pale blue a bit more. Stunning job yet again.

      Thank you, Pedro. I'm still trying to get a feel for the technique but putting the brightest brights right next to darkest darks seems to work well at times.

    Oh man ... that cloak is a whole new level of awesome! As always a fan of your application of pastel hues. AND that face looks very realistic. Nice!

      Many thanks. The colors on the cloak were very well behaved and fell into place quickly. This was helpful considering the amount of time I spent farting around with the metal bits.
