Yarry by Enigma Miniatures
I'm trying to push a little bit my skill so I'm working on my blending technique and trying some new techniques. This miniature is Yarry a 54mm hobbit sculpted by Raul Garcia Latorre (http://www.enigmaminiatures.com). I'm trying a different approach for the skin starting from a black primer and a base color with a mix of Vallejo Cavalry Brown and Flat Flesh building the basic highlight adding mode flat Flesh. Then I have increased the contrast to the shades with light washes of Vallejo Dark Green and increasing the highlights with washes of GW Elf flesh and Vallejo White. The cloack: the base color is Andrea Russian Kakhi with washes of Vallejo Dark Brown for the shades and highlight obtained adding Vallejo Beige to the base color. Just to add some interest i have soiled the border with washes of Vallejo Games Color Cobra Leather followed by some other washes of Vallejo Mahogany Brown and little dots of Mahogany Brown and Beige. VI have used the same procedure on the feet. For the hair the base color was Vallejo Cavalry Red with highlight obtained adding Vallejo Beige and then 9 or 10 washes with a mix of Future floor wash, black ink and GW Chestnut Brown ink. I have also added some more hair on the forearms with the same ink mix and a small brush (0). I have selected a dark green for the pants and washed them with a lighter green to make them more "used", nothing special anyway... Dark red for the jacket with a gold border, I have added some touches with a lighter color (Vallejo Buff) to suggest a pattern embroided to the border. Dark leather and nmm gold for the details. The base is done using some cork for the rock painted with Andrea Slate Grey and highlighted adding some Vallejo Buff to the base color and using White for the last touch. The ground is plaster washed with a Sepia Brown liquid color for airbrushes and then highlighted while the wash is still wet using Vallejo Buff. Then I have used small washes of Vallejo Dark Green and Vallejo Royal purple on the rock and the ground to armonize them. Some little pebbles, leaves and some patches of static grass around to make it a little mode interesting and it's all. Comments and suggestions are really welcome :) Paolo
