I started this project last week. He’s about 65mm tall, so larger than gaming figures but not too big. I’m focusing on a couple things with this piece. First off, light and cast shadows. I’ve already sketched in some of the shadows on the pants and cloak and will refine them as I paint. On top of that I’m trying to work on bounce lights. You can see a subtle reflection of the light from the cloak onto the shadow side of his jaw for example. I’ll add more throughout the piece. And the other topic I want to explore with this piece is texture. Not much there yet, but I’d like to paint texture on the cloak, woven texture for the bedroll on his back, texture on the pots and pans hanging from his backpack, and of course the leather portions.
