Just had a look at the Grinning Gargoyle website 'cos these are well impressive. Have I looked in the right place as there are no figures advertised?

Oh well. It would have been nice to maybe get some, but I won't have any dealings with Amazon under any circumstances.

The main blue is going down on the clothing parts.

Looks to be far too much of the shadow colour in the pictures but doesn't look quite so bad in real life. I keep hearing that lots of contrast is good at this size but might try a glaze to even things out. Lots of trim to do as well which will also alter the look, but it's a start.

Nicely done Andy

[Tim Marlow]

Coming on nicely. Contrast looks fine as well. However, I would say that you need to reevaluate the mid tones and paint some of them back in. There are some areas where the shadow tone has overrode the mid tone so make him (or is it them) look a little darker than he (they) should. Middle figure lower front of the robe illustrates this…..it looks black with highlights rather than blue with shadows.

Thanks Mick.

Tim, that's a much more eloquent way to describe what I was trying to say, thanks.

I started from black and worked my way up but the prussian blue layers seem almost invisible on camera, it just jumps straight to the lighter deep blue that I put on top.

I still have the colours and intermediate mixes on my pallet so I'll have a go at working my way back down.

Prussian blue is semi transparent so doesn’t quite cover as you expect. Also dries shiny in my experience……the lighter blue, made by adding white I assume, is more opaque due to the titanium white pigment you’ve put in the mix. If you do look to glazing it, by the way, use the Prussian blue with glazing medium, it will glaze far more successfully. Anything with added white just doesn’t work as well.

[Andy T]

Thanks Tim, will try and improve them tomorrow.

Thinking about it the deep blue is one of AK's Intense range which I believe are more opaque than their regular acrylics. Combining that with you saying prussian is semi transparent might explain the huge jump.

I've still got so much to learn :smiling5:

They're looking very good Andy. Interesting to read Tim's input.

[JR]

Yes I agree Jim , keep going Andy .

Thanks for that Andy. They look a bit pricey but great quality. Question is though, how can anyone find that they sell them if they don't know to look for "adventurers"? Pretty poor for a website unless I've missed something.
