miniatures

Hi! I'm slowly going "artist"- or at least it certainly feels like so!  I've got myself some waterbrushes for ~1€ each off ebay, and although they took forever and a day to come, they arrived eventually! I've got myself some 100% cotton paper and artist grade paints are on the way as well. After art-drought, this is delight!

These are all "hello there, new paper" exercises on scraps of aceo-card cutting. As you can see, they are also experiments with fine art of miniature painting. 

For scale, you have both 1 eurocent (smaller, on the left) and 1 dollarcent (A gift from a fellow traded here on dA, a nice pendant originally, was torn by child cousin, though) in the middle. The fox is around 2,5" x 2,5" and bottom row is all ~3,5" tall. They are all together on A4 sized board.

As for references, I used fav.me/d6jza9u by HOTNStock for gray fox and momotte2stocks.deviantart.com/… by Momotte2stocks for chipmunk. The boat was "from memory" work heavily inspired by someone on miniature forum on wetcanvas I found earlier that day, and wren was loosely referenced by Gôôgled thumbs.

I have to say, photo did really make these justice, making the colors both lighter and brighter than they are in real life! It is a little transformed in gimp to reduce a bit of the distortion.
