Thread: Too Pretty?

I know elfy things are supposed to be pretty, but I'm a little worried this alt paint scheme is a little too nancy.

I guess the real question is... would you sport a whole army of these things at the LGS without worrying about anyone questioning your man cred? Or would that be irrelevant since you'd already be playing elves?

Mostly its that purple that sets me off I think. But it took me awhile to get the glow to something that I liked and those grooves don't really have room in them for anymore paint. If I want to fix it I'm going to have to scrape that paint out.

Also, no I'm not starting a ret army. This is for a miniature exchange/bols article.

I think either one of these colors would look great.. but not next to each other. If they were against a solid white or black i think they would look great but together.. *barf*

Alright. I have performed some photoshoppery.


Less contrast. But it does look an awful lot like the gold areas.



Blue for the more subdued route. I though about blue initially but I wanted more contrast. Although now that I can see it I definitely think it could work



Actually my favorite. A ton of contrast but none of the pastel look. The biggest problem here is that I don't know if I can achieve this look with actual paint.
