“Then [he]… threw the sword as far into the water as he might; and there came an arm and an hand above the water and met it, and caught it, and so shook it thrice and brandished, and then vanished away the hand with the sword in the water.”
~ Thomas Malory, ‘Le Morte d’Arthur’

Finished the #LadyOfTheLake in record time - tried out Vallejo's Transparent Water, Water Effects for the first time.
Relatively pleased with the outcome, but is it just expensive Gesso?
Not overly happy with the lips, but this was the fourth attempt, so I'm calling it there.
I was a bit worried earlier on that I'd gone too pale. But painting her hair has really made it feel like it's starting to come together.
Some in progress shots as I lay down some flesh tones.
Started with a base of Game Air "Flesh" (72.769), then added highlights of Game Color "Pale Flesh" (72.003), then Game Air "Pale Flesh" (72.703), and then mixed some Army Painter Air "Yeti White" into it for final highlights and the base for the fabric.

Trying a new basing colour. I'm wanting a much colder tone to this model than the usual warm flesh tones I go for, so rather than base in a reddish brown, I've gone for a blue violet.
Always learning, always trying new things... #WorkInProgress #WIP #ModelPainting #Figurine #Crafty
No name for this one yet. Maybe #LadyOfTheLake?
The Stewart Memorial Fountain in Kelvingrove Park in Glasgow, with John Mossman's statue of Ellen Douglas, the eponymous hero of Sir Walter Scott's Lady of the Lake, at the top lit by the first rays of the rising sun. Originally, this figure was guilded, which would have made it even more impressive than it is today.

In the Welsh tale ‘The Lady of Llyn y Fan Fach,’ a man wishes to marry the Lady of the Lake, but her father only allows the union if the man can tell the difference between his love and her identical sister, which he does by recognizing the way she ties her sandals.
