"Noblesse Oblige"......First Pair of Fenryll Noble Ladies

Here are the first two of the four Fenryll figures supplied under the description of Noble Ladies.

One is photographed against the white background but the second one I could not get that to work…whenever I got to the point where most of the image was the figure rather than the paint pot she is standing on, the whole image went “yellow” – I am assuming its to do with the colour of her attire. I put a background behind her, as I normally do, and the image looked much better – that’s the only reason they are pictured differently.

The final pic shows two of the previous Courtesans plus two of the Hokahey Reivers for scale – I think they work fine together….

 


 
I think the shading came out very nicely on her pink skirt...


 
Lady number two has a bird on her left wrist - I painted it as a peregrine falcon although I think it is intended to be a dove.....

  1. They look great Keith. I particularly like the lady in pink because, as you say, the shading looks terrific. Your French is holding up nicely as well.

    2. Thanks Lawrence.... It's funny how certain colours are easier to add highlight to than others...pink, blue and green are easy, but red and yellow I find a lot harder!

  3. Very nice. The impressionist work on the front material on the lady in pink is very good.

    1. Thanks Mark...the second package turned up today. Ironically, given the previous long delay, this one left France on 14 October and was here today....cost to send back in $60 so I am hoping he may just tell me to keep it!

    1. Thank Dean...I am hoping I can use at least some of them in Border Reiver scenarios....eg have one side kidnap one of them etc....

  9. Nice work on the pink one,the blue one looks a bit more medieval, maybe it's just the bird?
    Best Iain

    1. Thanks Iain...no you are right. The Fenryll figures are basically fantasy so they seem to have used a range of historical dress styles...several of them look more medieval but I am not going to worry about it over much. None of them could be used in the nineteenth century or later I don't think, although the servant might be ok....
