[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 4178494, member: 13703"] Pictures should be forthcoming sometime in the next week or so. I'd like to get the mini finished before I photograph it. I also have to figure out how to properly use the macro feature on my camera so that it's not blurry when I do photograph it. As for pogre's thread, that's already been bookmarked! :) There's a lot of good advice and tips on the internet that I am taking advantage of. As for drybrushing, I have found it really useful for higlighting the raised areas on the boots and folds of the cloak. Also, by lightly drybrushing the flatter areas of the boots and cloak I have found that I have been able to remove a lot of the "flatness" of colour that was there before. I have been doing a bit of blending in the folds of the cloak, adding more and more black to my dark green paint and painting it into the folds. I have then been drybrushing it to even out and blend in the different shades. I have found that the drybrushing is really good and evening out and blending in the different shades. Is there another method for doing this? Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
