Single Botocudo

[Lt. Hazel]

A single Indian. I wanted the bases to look like swamp-terrain, and I´m happy with the result. My LPL-Pic  wasn´t clear enough to show this effect  

[Lowtardog]

He looks great, the swamp base and the reeds look very effective

[Malamute]

Very nice effect. Can yo tell us how you got the look. Is it just gloss varnish over paint?

[Lt. Hazel]

Yep. I painted different greens wet-in-wet and glazed it with 3 layers of gloss varnish.

Thanks, it looks really good. Just a minor observation would the reeds be better a green lush colour. I am thinking they look more suited to an arid desert given their bleached colour?

[Lowtardog]

I would leave them as they are possibly to add a third contrasting colour you could paint the ear plugs and the beads/necklaces armbands either a white or green jade colour, these were often stones or shells and sometimes human or boars teeth. The penis is actually a sheath that they used to cove the old man   so perhaps a different colour for that?

Love the bow conversion too I dont think I would have the patience to string them and certainly not the skill to do it that well

[Lt. Hazel]

Thanks. The stringing drove me crazy.

Well done.

I get a "this image violated our terms - photobucket" image.  No lovely figures  :cry:

[Gluteus Maximus]

Bizarre! Me too - I've never seen that from Photobucket before

I get this now to, but the picture was up before. I'm assuming it's because the mini was nude. I bet famous artists don't get this! ::

[Lt. Hazel]

Crazy! I think someone was green with envy  :wink:

[Wirelizard]

Apparently Photobucket objects to pewter penis protectors. Pathetic.

TMP had a similar problem with "Wang" [amongst other naughty words] a while ago. The word "Gwangi" - as in "The Valley Of The.."- was censored!

Oh, the fun we had..... ::

[Lt. Hazel]

Problem solved
