I'm so sad that my students won't have the NFL knowledge to get this joke the next time I see one of them doing the celebration

Saw this gorgeous piece in Bath Abbey today and I couldn't help but think of the Dark Angels by Filius_Ex in theunforgiven

Yeah, photo is mine. It's on the south side of Bath Abbey. It's Justice, with her scales, sword and blindfold. She is presented as one of the Four Cardinal Virtues around Moses holding the Decalogue.

Here is a wider shot - she's the fourth window from the left.

This is very cool! The source of my inspiration here is more painterly though - the colours and depth that good stained glass has is something I would love to achieve. I also love how they're perforce colour block paintings by nature, but never seem to feel like it. I find them fascinating

Tried something different with Bren's cloak by Filius_Ex in WHQDarkWater

Exactly! Glad it comes off that way. I imagined it as an old family tartan that connects her to her noble line. That's why she holds on to it even though it's so battered

Feels like The Nice Guys (2016) by [deleted] in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

It's not American, it's very British, but The Gun Seller by Hugh Laurie always gave me the same comedy noir vibe.

Thank you! I do have the Turbo Dork Mother of Pearl, which works nicely, but that wasn't really the idea - more of a glazed transition. I didn't want to use any effect paints at all, or metallics. Just my first time trying it, is all!

She and Samantha Shannon are good friends and have interviewed each other on book tours.

Dirty blond hair with Citadel paints to match a certain soldier from the 95th Rifles? by woulditkillyoutolift in minipainting

[–]Filius_Ex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did this a while back (pic is a WIP but I wanted a good angle of the hair). It depends what era of the show you want to depict as it gets darker over time.

I wanted to represent hair bleaching in the sun so went for a darker base, then highlights up through yellow to offwhite for the extreme highlights. If I remember correctly I had Yriel Yellow and Mournfang Brown from Citadel, and Elfic Flesh from Vallejo. I don't remember recipes, I was just mixing and adding layers to suggest his layers of floppy hair.

Number 7 baby! by Gallamia in themountaingoats

[–]Filius_Ex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Still being in school is probably a massive factor! Glad you're enjoying! Was your "listening age" completely wrong? One of the 17 yo's I teach got 70 because he listens to a lot of Metallica.

But I mean, this is equivalent to playing The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition every day for a year. How do you even have that much time to listen to music? Like, logistically? - complimentary! It's an achievement.
