Intense and obsessive application of paint to miniature models

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

More work on Aya's hair and face. Starting with white, I gradually increase saturation and contrast.

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

More progress on Aya.

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

Working on the leather and building up the layers with yellow and red iron oxides, as well as phthalo green (blue shade).

New project – Death Crown Inheritor Aya, also known as Valentine’s Day Aya, from Kingdom Death: Monster.

@jeffodraws Thank you! I study human anatomy, specifically for artists and study hues I see on the skin of people, mostly from photos. I focus on single pigment colours and try to learn and memorise their combinations and try to put down skin tone I think I see, then correct and make notes.

Finished White Speaker Sword Hunter miniature from Kingdom Death: Monster.

@Leo_Nima Thank you!

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

@9afb7317ab31445 Hey! I painted with Golden SoFlat. I used phthalo green blue shade. Additionally there's red pyrrole, bismuth vanadate yellow and dioxazine violet on the coat. Also fresh blood FX from Vallejo.

Atnas, the child-eater, from Kingdom Death: Monster, with a few additional sculpted details is now fully painted!

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

Working on White Speaker’s 4 NMM blades. I use raw umber as a base colour and mostly paint reflections from surrounding objects. Nothing is attached yet, so I might have to adjust a few things once everything’s in place.

@Leon_F90V You are welcome!

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

@Leon_F90V Thank you! Could you please specify which gradient you are referring to ?

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

@Leon_F90V If you look at your own profile picture, you can see that the highlights on hair don't form at the top, but more like a halo around. Understanding this shape (like from real photos) will help you understand where to place highlights.

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

@Leon_F90V I try to think of hair as one whole object, not individual strands. I layer paint starting with the light most point. Each new layer doesn't fully cover the previous one. What do you struggle with when you paint hair?

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

@Naofrost_mini Your gradient is so pretty!
What is your process?

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

Working on the bundle of swords and ribbons for the White Speaker.

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

@KacperIsIvar Thank you! That's good to know. The paint I like, used to sell only 1 orange. They do now sell another, as a part of a mix, so maybe that's a reason to explore that :)

[Tatiana Hoberg @Naofrost_mini]

I was experimenting with some NMM gold combinations, and discovered that yellow green, cadmium orange and burnt umber make a nice gold mix. This is the result!
