Hi, I design world of fantasy under voiced title "Book of races". Long time I upgrade my work. This time I have question to you about chainmail. I would like to draw the agreed on outline only. What do you have tips and advice? On attachment my work in progress.   |

Strange because I add attachment. Why do not you see it? The image is fiddling. I wonder how to achieve the effect of chain mail in the drawing?

Now there is an image that won't open, and a link to your page but it says "page not found"  |

Maybe it is just my computer/server but I can't see what Rhannon posted either. |

Maybe it is just my computer/server but I can't see what Rhannon posted either. Maybe problem is on Pavaro's hosting server . I loaded his imamgine in my imageshack account. Now you should see it.  |

Sorry for the problems. Maybe Rhannon is right.
So how do you draw the chainmail?

I wish Zio Prudenzio's site was still up (it was good that it was up for as long as it was after he died).
He did very good chainmail on his 2d and 3d figures. Maybe an image search for Azincourt would bring something up

That second one is very effective

I think they both could be effective. I worry about tons of detail for a 28mm figure - when scaled down and printed on an inkjet printer, the 2nd chainmail effect (the one on the right) might get muddy and dark, whereas the one on the left might look just fine. It would be interesting to see some test prints!

Now I can see everything! mproteau (Paper Realms) is probably right about the test printing and I bet a middle ground solution will be best. I was thinking about onemonk figures and sanity studios but I think your style is closest to okumarts. Maybe you could take a look at some of mail and see if you can adapt it to suit you. |

Actually, I think both styles look good, I did a test print, with a scaled photograph of some actual Chain mail as comparison.. This was taken at about a two and a half foot distance from the figures, so this is pretty close to what you would see with them on a tabletop.  |

berneart76 unfortunately I don't see your image on forum (on photobucket I see). It's look nice. Soon more news.

pavaro, I fixed the image link, so now people should be able to see the picture in the post..... Photobucket has been bothering me, they recently made some changes, including limiting upload size to 1024x768, where before I could upload full size pictures ( and with my camera I can get pictures up to 6000x4000 pixels).. I might need to search for a different picture hosting site.

So what me advice? I should work on newer type of chain mail? I mean new sketch and colors. PS - berneart76 how thick is black outline on the figurine on the left? |

IMHO left one for the win (art style consistency)

I prefer the simpler version (the one on the left) too. The other is tending to be too dark and as mesper puts it the first one fits more with your style. |

pavaro, the black border around Dryw the Harper's Imperfect Adventurer Dwarf is around 10px in width, printed out it is about 1mm.

in my opinion the darkest is more realistic. when i paint 15 mm i used dark metal.
