Dwarf on Table
Our local group had a competition to paint a Reaper Dwarf with metallic paints. I decided to experiment with the Vallejo alcohol metals. I was not too happy. Excellent coverage and very bright, but very hard to do any blending with. The armor is inspired by a real suit of armor in a German museum. Someone told me only the Japanese wore painted armor and I had to prove him wrong. The table is made from a baked clay called Cernit. My first table looked great until I tried to bake it and ended up with a bubbly puddle - too hot and too long in the oven (or maybe I shouldn't have placed it directly on the pizza stone). Anyway, it's my first table, and possibly my first free-standing sculpture. The mug and bowl are also cernit. I'm reasonably pleased. I hope you enjoy, and comments always welcome.
