Tomoo Inagaki (1902-1980) — Morning Sea - Torii Gate of Miyajima

Description

“Asa Umi” (Morning Sea). Two deer are looking for food at the tidal flats of Itsukushima (Miyajima).

This famous torii (the ritual gateway leading to the Shinto shrine) is built on tidal flats which is completely exposed at low tide. At high tide, the huge red torii looks like floating on the water surface. It is the welcoming gate for the spirits and the visitors from the sea for Itsukushima Shrine on the Miyajima island.

Can some one make a cool version of Mao Mao? The opening shows him merc some fools but instead I get la Croix.

I got needlessly excited about how this mini turned out. Its not (in my opinion) the most breathtaking mini I’ve ever painted but I discovered a really neat effect about the paints I use.

A little backstory is needed first; I am in the middle of making the transition from Tamiya paints to Vallejo. This is because Vallejo paints are less thick than Tamiya, which make them good for miniatures. I noticed however, that Vallejo paints chip more than Tamiya and something as simple as knocking the mini over is enough to cause this. So my options were to either add an extra layer of paint for every color on the mini or use a clear flat coat of Tamiya paint. I chose the latter because the minis are so small that extra layers would make detailing too difficult but also the paint will continue to chip if knocked over so I would have only delayed the inevitable..

Finishing the mini with the clear coat not only created a protective layer, but also brought all the colors together so that the wizard’s robes look like they all belong together instead of randomly painted components.

I plan on testing this out again on the second Mini in this set and see if it comes together again or if I had a stroke of good luck. For those dungeon crawlers out there if your DM put this mini on the table, what kind of magic would you assume he casts?

It’s been a while since I’ve painted with school and now work keeping me busy… but I think these two turned out alright!
