I love how different that looks to my version with the blocked in stairs and the great funky chunky wall covering! Whats the door made from? sticks bound with cotton? Yup, cocktail sticks! Quote can i use these pics in my gallery on the site? Of course. I think there are a couple more that Mike hasn't sent yet.

Here's a better view: (http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qXRmmVGISv8/TH6yReEj_MI/AAAAAAAAABc/Su7SVkzNuWc/s1600/Stables3.JPG) Title: Re: Stables Post by: Brandlin on September 01, 2010, 10:34:18 pm thanks for the pictures bethar

I did him for the website I planned to have about 10 years ago but never really got round to. You will notice he is not strictly painted but computer graphicked (by hand! no cheating), but if you know Kipling's "The beginning of the armadillos" it will all make sense.

Title: Re: Stables Post by: Carcharoth on September 18, 2010, 05:46:32 pm Very nicely finished off! :)
I see the symbol for 'trader' on the wall. What does the sign above the door say? Title: Re: Stables Post by: Brandlin on September 19, 2010, 02:34:12 pm oooh scrummy - that's pretty effective!
how did you do the wood grain - people have suggested that my approach is too detailed and the fact that the wood bits are plain puts them off buying the kits - but yours is effective too and if its easier/quicker then that might be a solution? Title: Re: Stables Post by: Bethar on September 19, 2010, 10:30:31 pm Sorry, I did my wood grain by hand. I think it is rather rougher than yours so might have been a bit quicker, but no clever techniques I'm afraid. I glazed the windows with a craft glaze, I don't know how effective you think it is. Oh, and the metalwork is just gold acrylic paint.
The sign is the trader's name, Kraalt. I'm working on his backstory... |
