Defaced

Life magic rushed about her, reclaiming these man-made ruins. Water gushed out from barren stone washing away the filth and flooding the basin below while natural growth sprouted out cracking the ancient tiles.

My biggest project ever and one I've had the most fun with. I am insanely pleased with how it turned out, the initial vision turned reality. From the magical osl in her hand summoning forth the waterfall to the overall ambience of this forest temple.

A video of test fit with the base and Alarielle herself mostly finished. Some tiny adjustments left, super proud of how the project is turning out!

Finish straight on the base 🤞

Did some more color adjustment on the magical glow, poured resin and applied water texture. Once that fully dries brush will come back to action for some highlights and final value adjustments. Really excited about this project, my biggest and most intricate one so far!

Now that the miniature is mostly complete I am returning to the base. Pushed contrast a lot, rendered volumes a bit better and creater the green glow of life itself. With her magic Alarielle is summoning forth a tsunami from a sheer rock, or that is the idea. I have never made anything like this before so it's all experimental, would appreciate any feedback. So far we have scaffold for the waterfall and tomorrow going to pour some resin.

Now that the beetle is coming along I need to see that with the Queen on top the volumes will still make sense. A small update showing some of that progress

Started working on the beetle for Alarielle, trying to go for that color-shift gloss. Alarielle herself is mostly finished too, some adjustments to follow once the whole composition is mounted together.

The queen of all life and nature deserves to have colors representing all the seasons present! I tried to include green tones in the gold NMM, leaves turning from green to autumn around her and the prestine snow-white dress. Sadly a wing fell off during the painting process, but that's an opportunity for some sculpting on the back re-attaching it!

A queen of nature and life deserves a platform
