Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

[DeafNala]

This is an experiment. I am posting these photos from my Google Album. If you can not see them, here is a link o the album:

Please let me know if you can't see them.
ALL that aside, I have restarted doing my Reaper Gnome Druid & Frog:








There you go...hopefully.

[DintheDin]

Yes, I can see them! One more original work of yours! Eager to see it finished!
Cheers!

Lovely work, Al.
You have really brought that wonderful facial expression to life and I love the vividness of those colours.
Beautiful!
 

[FramFramson]

Looking good, looking good. The red and white spotted mushrooms will make a fine backdrop!

HOORAY! You Guys have made my day...& a rhyme. I have been having my difficulties with PhotoBucket. I intend to keep the account mere to maintain the photos I already have posted, but having an alternative for new work is a real plus. The Google Albums are really nice to work with AND the cost is a mere $2.09 a month. PhotoBucket is 33.25 a month.
Right now I keep getting errors when I try to upload new photos to PB. Google uploads automatically. I just create the albums & I can post.

Yes, I can see them! One more original work of yours! Eager to see it finished!

Thanks for the positive feedback, Din. The miniature Druid & Frog is Reaper's 03226 Parraway Ambercane, but everything else is mine...I am happy you like the way it is going.

Thanks, Paul. I really am delighted you like the expression. To me, the facial expression is what gives the miniature life. The bright colors are genetically linked with me.

Thanks, Fram. I thought the toadstool coloration would look good with the frog. It must be an amphibian thing. I am happy you are enjoying the developments.

AND the finished Gnome Druid, Ragweed, & his Loyal Mount, Mugwort:












This is one of those times that I think the miniature looks better in hand than in the photos.

That froggy fellow is very well done! Amazing work on an amphibious arcanist!

[DintheDin]

An excellent composition! A kaleidoscope of well matched colors!
I think the third picture shows gnome and frog in all their might!
Well done! Cheers!

Thanks for the kind reply, Fram. I am glad you like them.

Thanks for your kind reply, Din. I am happy you like the color choices & their application. I had drawn a blank on this one for quite awhile.

One of the Fellow on the Reaper Forum found these Santa Flower Pot thingies:


 He asked if I would do some Mushrooms like them for his Mom's flowers. SO here's how they are coming along...the start:




With eye & stems:


Green stuffed:








AND base coated:




They Mushrooms are now ready for some color...soon.

[DintheDin]

Ha Haaa! His mom will get one of her biggest surprises ever!
Those eye beads are all the money!  Cheers!

Thanks for the positive feedback, Din. I'm not sure whether the bead eyes were an original idea or not...I think they may have been. They sure have worked well for me.
I am glad you like them. This is turning out to be a fun little diversion. I hope they don't eat Mom's flowers or give her nightmares.

[DeafNala]

Yesterday I started the painting. Thy are all underway AND one is finished:


A better look at the finished Mushroom:






More later...probably.

[FramFramson]

Nice slick painting on these ones! Really smooth!

Thanks, Fram. I am glad you like the results thus far.
Whatever the black spots on the Mushroom in the last picture were, they washed right off with a little water. Photos are great for pointing out little things like that.
