Starting on gloves and bangles. Critical aspects of any wargaming mini.
Filling in the remaining white space on the torso. It’s only when you take the photo that you realise there’s a fair bit more imprecision than you saw with your Human Eyeball. Fair play to the YouTubers out there getting crispy lines while filming what they’re up to.
I have an absurd idea that almost certainly won’t play. So obviously it’s the only thing I’m even considering.
Giving the short story challenge another try. I now have one week to write 2,500 words on:

Some delightful noises coming from my roof.

Expanding the red, waiting for the storm.
Slowly now pushing the painted contrast to better match the boosted version, trying to make the chest ornamentation seem like a distinct material from the fabric.
I can’t remember who originally shared the tip, but if you struggle (like me) to get your non-metallics to actually look ‘shiny’, you can take a photo of your initial light placement on the mini and just boost the contrast to max and brightness to min. Try to match what you see with paint.
Of course, gentle reader, he would start into some non-metallic nonsense before he even has the base colours down. The boy’s a fool.
The order in which I choose to apply paint is both baffling and entirely self-inflicted.
Never painted an elf before, space or otherwise, despite falling in love with Jes Goodwin’s art back in the day. But this little sculpt is gorgeous.
Time to put this on a loop https://youtu.be/FTUxRX6cwDk?feature=shared
I just assumed David Lynch was technically immortal☹️
Snow day light! Bright white ground, dark grey skies. A sun’s eye view.
