Some of the first ones I ordered and had a try on. They're very detailed for the scale. I'll probably end up using more highlights to accent the fire elemental's face and hands, and the water elemental went back for all 6 of them to just red eyes - way eerier an effect.
Nice paint job, details stand out well. Not a criticism but... did you deliberately reverse the colours of the Fire elemental? Real flames are brighter - yellow - at the base dulling down to red at the tips of the visible flames. Yours - like many others - is the reverse. I've never been sure which to use, the 'real' colours, or the commonly represented & recognised ones.
No, just that the highlighting was mostly done drybrushing so I touched the outskirts more often than not. Also, I used a 3rd lighter yellow to try to highlight mostly the hands of the elemental. I still need to have a look at inking and a coat tho
Very nice work, Bart. 8)

These are really sharp. I especially like the water elemental.
The water elemental looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost :)

The water elementals, with the rather lively water effect with a bit of shading and highlight, next to a light red chosen for the eyes and the way they all 6 are sculpted, come across as very threatening IMHO. Way more than the fire elemental. I'll try to get some other pics :)
Great stuff!
Those are great! 8)

The left has had a layer of quickshade - dark tone and is drying
I really like those, Bart. 8)

Look great
Nice work. I'd not noticed the little hands on the fire elemental before.
I like the red eyes on the water elementals - and the strong shade seems to work, especially as its not dry - I left mine shiny, to make them look wet
Very nice indeed
Take care
Andy

Yup, that is what I wonder. The 'old' quickshade always kept a very glossy effect and that would be good for a water elemental. Not sure about the darkest tone on the gradations of blue tho, so only tried one so far.
All my old pots of quickshade seemed to have dried out which is bummer seeing the price, so I only bought one new pot and will see how it holds up. I believe there's also sprays available now to make them less shiny.
Anyway, I also shaded some dwarfs and rats, will see for some pictures of those too later on

Well only on one sculpt, as the other ones are mostly one long pillar. I only noticed them when highlighting, really, which made me grab a third shade of yellow to try and bring out only the hands more. I also use green for the eyes - Like the water elementals, contrary colours work well for an eerie effect
