last up for today ..I work a bit more on the base , wash and also started adding water texture.
started the figure as well, base color for now..., got some weird result with the dark blue from scale75 fantasy color..so I end up mix it with black leather from scale color for the frog cloths..

base update , I added my various little props elements also added some tree stuff and the water pit is now completely filled..I will have to wait a good 24 hours so I can manipulate the base without take the risk of see the water texture run away :D

Once ok, the rest will be to add couple wash / texture effect and finish to fill stuff , also couple pass of dry brush for the rocks

The base, actually I wanted to have a more bluish / white color overall, the clear transparent was cool to see under water but not too obvious, however I make the mistake to do the coloration on the top which kind of kill the clear / transparent effect.
lesson learned , next time I will either do a pass of colored water on the bottom or simply base coat the hole with the color I want to show through :D

What a lovely scene, it’s awesome, well done!!! Hey just wondering what figure that frog guy is, I really like that sculpt?
Thank you !
The figure is from DarkSword Miniatures

I really like their animals series , very cute.

I posted on the gallery : http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics16/img5b2f570187435.jpg

But I put my final "for the fun" final composition ..I am not a photoshop master lol , but that's feel nicer than solide color background :)

Hi, so I am starting that scene that I had in mind..( still working at finishing my last Wizkids monk figure by the way ).

All Reaper minis, finally I can get to what I received couple week ago :D

Just put reference of the minis here for those interested :

- Beastman Champion : 77254
- Crusader Champion : 77550
- Sigurd Viking : 77399
- Ogre Clubber : 77454

Those are the 4 protagonist of that scene.

I set my size to be 190mm x 19mm x 200mm , just so I can fit that later in the display box I can get here.

Though this is not set in stone regarding the environment , I certainly going to go for a rocky / snowy landscape.

for now I just put my set in place for the overall position of each figure.
