Light Elemental - Lions of Alahan
This mini represents a ton of firsts for me. My concept for her was, well, she's a light elemental, right? So I tried to paint her like a sunset. She's dark purpley at the shoulders fading through all of the colors of a spectacular sunrise down to white at the bottom. To add to that effect, I painted teeny tiny clouds on her, lit from underneath like they would be in a sunset. I painted Non-metallic metals on her, the first time I've been gutsy enough to try. I also gave her glowing eyes, but I'm kinda meh about the result. Her wings, however, turned out better than I had hoped. So, I came to the basing part. I hate basing. I decided to try out my snowflakes for the first time, and before falling asleep, struck upon the idea of her alighting on a snowy field and melting her way down into it. Working on the basis that she's made of light, I assumed she'd give off some heat. I used some water effects around the bottom of her to show the melted snow. The base didn't photograph so good, but you get the idea. Comments are always appreciated. Thanks!
