I enjoy your updates on Instagram, Gene and it is great to have you posting on OR. I like what you're doing with Aragorn. He looks nicely weathered and his face is pretty intense, much like Viggo's can be. Looking forward to seeing some dioramas from you!

Gonna try some OSL? maybe on his right cheek?

That's a gorgeous Frodo Gene. What a difference 17 years makes!

These progression pictures are always very interesting to see. Good job on (new) Frodo! I also find OSL very difficult to get right, in fact I have never really been satisfied with the results I have produced. Yours looks pretty nice though, and it's always good to experiment with these more unusual techniques.

You're staying very productive and creating some nice looking minis! I think the OSL effects are looking great and your color choices for Gandalf are spot on!

If you're looking for a bit of feedback, I'd maybe paint some darker hair under Gandalf's chin to separate what is a fairly thick line of white beard in middle. Hopefully that makes sense! I'm not the best at weathering so I could be off here, but I think you might have over weathered the cloak just a bit. I'd probably lightly drybrush the cloak with the darker color and then even more lightly go for that lighter color so that the raised parts look more weathered and the recessed parts look a bit shaded. Hope that helps and keep the updates coming!
