Hi!

I've painted a unit of High Elf archers :

I'm sharing the banner I made with AI, in case anyone is interested.

I hope you'll like it !

Well done. Love the banner. How did you get AI to create it? I'm sure there are many others besides me who would love to be able to create imagination banners if we could.
Thanks, Tom

Very nice work all the way around.

Great work painting and on the banner. I used AI to create some Dwarven banners several months ago. I like them. I'm not an artist, so AI banners are an amazing tool. Can't create a link from my Google Photos on my phone to post here. Will post a link later, when I get back to my laptop, tomorrow. Cheers!

Thanks for your comments!

Tom, I've been using ChatGPT to edit a photo of an old High Elves banner. I asked it to swap the colors and add or remove some details, and after some trial and error, I finally got the result I was looking for ;-)

Beautifully painted figures. I wonder if I am alone in feeling that from a certain angle they looked a bit like "cone heads" from SNL. This is not to take away from the figures or unit, just an observation.

Major B, I had the same thought when I looked at the figures. The figures and banners look great, but my immediate reaction was "cone head elves!"

Going with red is a refreshing take and looks great!

I like upsetting standard conventions in Fantasy. It's probably one reason I don't do Elves because of the compulsion to do that ubiquitous high elf blue.

Yeah, I've never been a fan of the blue and silver look for High Elves. With this color scheme, I tried to give them a more noble feel that truly captures the High Elf essence. But you'd be forgiven for thinking they're just coneheads dedicated to the cult of Khorne! :-D

In Oathmark, they can be just that!

Great work on these. I do like how you arrange your projects like you do on your blog. Something that I want to start doing myself.

Thanks!

I had to rearrange my blog because I've about 6 unfinished projects… :-D
