I always intended to go back to this one and do a finishing pass or two before submitting to the competition on MMF, but the thought of doing so put me off any hobbying at all for several days 😅. So I’m calling this guy done. This will be the hero shot. Also the first mini photo I’ve ever removed the ‘WIP’ tag from.
Slowly stumbling towards something, I think. If you squint a bit.
Let’s just take this panel by panel I suppose. Mess about with the Big Guy until something starts to look vaguely appropriate, then try to mimic it on his little friend.
NMM gold experimentation as the next random diversion I think. Definitely going to be handy to have a Truly Enormous version without any fussy small details to work things out on.
/looks at the Drogon slices… /mutters something about a bigger boat…
New frens just dropped.
Right, enough procrastination, operation Fix The Bad Shadow begins.
I added an attempt at a cast shadow on the base, trying to emphasise that I want the scene to read as though lit from a shaft of light above, but I hated it so much that I set it aside for a full week 😅 I think it’s just far too extreme, I’ll try to soften it and lighten it to recover.
His little boots have a strap around them that I wasn’t expecting. Sudden colour paralysis.
I have, definitely intentionally, decided that he should have Very Shiny arms. Didn’t come up much in the show, but a big part of the books.

Starting into his jerkin and only realising while taking this photo that the filigree is approximately the same width as the ridges of my fingerprints 😬
I mean I can’t leave him without hair…
When I say ‘finish the Farseer’ first, I obviously don’t mean not putting any paint on that tiny little face.
Well… I know what I’ll be working on when I get the Farseer finished up. Can’t believe it’s even smaller. Look at that likeness though, even just primed!
