My first fantasy figures

[FraNe91]

Hello everyone! I'm new here in the forum and In the miniatures world 
But I've already done some figurines, so here are the pics!

The first three I made


The first three with four others:




I have still to complete the bases, more photos when they're finished!

What do you think? Any suggestions?

[nikharwood]

Very nicely done - and welcome too! 

You could give them a quick wash to accentuate your painting - it'll add a bit more depth & contrast, especially to the flesh.

For a first attempt - excellent!

As Nik says, a thinned brown ink wash will work magic on your figures - paticularly the cloak - Nik didn't mean the figures were dirty - they just need a quick brush of thinned ink

check out Nik's links to his Wiki painting guides - loads of good material.

Very nicely done sir, I would third the comments about a thin wash over the figures to bring the detail out

[Techno]

Good work....And welcome to the forum !
Cheers - Phil.

Hello! Good job on the figures, but as the rest of the lads have said, a simple watered down ink wash will bring out many of the details.

[Squirrel]

Welcome aboard. Thanks for sharing your photos, very good start with your painting.

Cheers,

Kev

Very nice, welcome to the Forum!

[FraNe91]

Thanks for your replies! 
I've already done the washing with black color, but I suppose it didn't worked so well mainly because seeing all that black thick drops I was afraid they could remain on the figure ruining it, so I removed them... maybe it was just an impresison 

Should I apply the brown wash on the whole models or just on the cloack (I suppose you was talking about the red-brown one)?
Or what wash should I apply?

That chap waving a sword seems to be wearing a tin-foil tunic (?).

Be brave - mix one part water with one part brown ink wash, get a nice large soft brush and slosh it over the whole figure.  Black is too dark:)

wait a short while - if puddles of the slosh form at base of cloak or around feet of figure use corner of a tissue to soak it up.

Sounds complicated when written down (like most things) but is dead simples.

Ok, I'll try it!
I have no ink now, I have Game Color Beasty Brown, How many parts of color/water should I use?

[robert]

half water and half ink/wash - try it and see what happens.

Maybe need a bit more of either - don't know - never used Beasty Brown!

Like all of life you need to experiment and try things out until you settle on a way of doing things that satisfies you.

I got sucked into trying black undercoat - once - as that is a preferred start for many people - I hated it  - could not see anything to paint

They look great, pal!

Look good!  and welcome
