Stunning work (and your English isn't bad, either!).

Simply breathtaking.  Very imaginative and completely original.  Beautiful soft skintone, the smoothness of it all is stunning.  Welcome along indeed! :thumbup:

Outstanding.

In this image - is that highlight on her hipbone painted, or is it reflection from a real light source?

I am not sure of what "Hip bone" means but I think that it's a real light source.

Soon, I will post other Minis.
A bientôt.

If you ever get the chance I would really like to see a step-by-step guide of how you paint the hair like that

Sorry, I can't 'cause I don't have the pictures of this WIP.

Another one of the same period (Summer 2010, I think ): "La Jeune Fille aux Fleurs", it means "Young Flower Lady"...although, there's not enough flowers on the base. Tant pis. :whistle:




Lot of my friends think this piece is really cold for a "Summer" theme But I come from "Bretagne" (it's a lttle bit like England, I guess, but near France. In fact, it's really in France) and summers, there,  are not very sunny.  :shrug:

The next time, I will probably show you The Scooby Gang (a WIP, the bases are not finished). This cartoon was very popular in France when I was young (a looonnng time ago).

à bientôt

Thanks !

This is the Scooby gang ! I've painted those Minis this year. The bases are not really finished  :whip:


I've made Identity Cards (in French, I know... it was for a French Forum   :roll:).



I used some pictures of a famous and unsuccessfull Battle Fleet game to make the frame of cards.  If it's a problem (copyrigh :paranoid: ), I can remove...

The scooby gang are really nicely painted and the shading / highlighting is super smooth, but I think you are falling into the trap of highlighting to white a litle bit too much. Makes the clothes look like they are made out of something a little bit shiney.

Apart from that, top job :D

You are perfectly right :wink:. I wanted funny colours...something very shiny and not realistic (I thought at "Totally Spies" in fact). It's maybe too much but it was a pleasure to paint that.

In which case, if it was deliberate, it is perfect

I salute you

After seeing your nudes above, I figured you were going for a 'cartoon' style with the Scoobey Gang. They're all great.

Except... where's Daphne?
