Following the rather dark and gloomy miniature piece I completed in my
last post, I felt an urge to paint a 'brighter and happier' subject matter. So on cue to satisfy my wish is a Super Dungeon Explore heroine board game piece, my fifth in this anime chibi figure series i.e. the Hexcast Sorceress.

This time around, I plan to slightly alter the character's original colour scheme (shown below). What I hope to do is add some peachy pink as well as yellowish orange hues to the predominantly purple, violet, turquoise and gold mix. Although the orange pony holder currently looks too warm and a tad out of place in the Hexcast Sorceress's violet hair accessorized with turquoise beads, I expect it to blend into the overall colour scheme when the golds and light peachy pink colours come into play.

Seeking inspiration for a new blog name and banner ...
Back in 2011, I started this blog to document my journey into the world of miniatures, especially those from the Warhammer 40,000 universe with an eye towards tabletop-gaming with my painted pieces. But since then, I have become fascinated solely by the art aspect of this hobby and had started painting miniatures from a wider variety of sources. Also, my renewed fascination with art in general as evidenced by my early attempts at portrait drawing means that my current blog name and banner graphic is no longer representative of what my posts are about. So it's back to the drawing board, awaiting inspiration for a new blog name and banner. Until then, have yourself a great weekend!

Great subject!
ReplyDeleteLet 's see your new fantastic work and your new blog aspect!
The blog url will remain the same, just the title will change. :)
DeleteNice hair. I went through the same thing with my blog and painting.
ReplyDeleteIt's so difficult to come up with a good blog title so I guess I will most likely revert to a simple and boring yet relevant one. After all, my url has nothing to do with the title ... already a huge no no with SEO specialists.
DeleteLovely work on that hair, I've been admiring it for minutes, totally fascinated in front of the screen! O.o
ReplyDeleteUhh, the blog name is quite a personal choice; just draw and paint, let yourself go and the inspiration will come whenever it is less expected :)
Thanks Suber :)
DeleteAs for the blog name, as I mentioned above it's just the banner name that will change and the url will remain as foureyed-monster.blogspot.com
What a cute model!
ReplyDeleteYep, Super Dungeon Explore has some really cute pieces.
Deletewell after the zombie hunter we were in need of a cute, pastel coloured mini! Her hair is great, I'm looking forward to see the next step!
ReplyDeleteThanks Fed, all sorts of cute thoughts are going through my head as I try to come up with a slightly changed colour scheme for the Sorceress. :)
DeleteSomehow I got the urgent feel this will be ne of your master pieces again ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are too kind Moiterei, hopefully I will do a good job with her.
DeleteA great change of pace after the zombie hunter. Love the hair color.
ReplyDeleteThe (glowing?) gem set in the staff seems to have you on a collision course with some object source lighting. OSL has proven tricky when I've attempted it. Curious to see your approach (if, indeed, that is your intent).
Incorporating OSL effects would turn the hair too white for my taste so there is a huge chance that I won't be going down the OSL route. So the glowing gem on the staff won't be that glowy in my case ^_^
