Painting miniatures so they don't look like miniatures

[Rob]

Randomly browsing through the back galleries at Putty & Paint during a break I was taken with the skill of some painters to take a 3D miniature and make it look like a 2D work. Kind of "flats" in reverse.

This is a different thing than trying to recreate well know paintings with miniatures, or to paint a bust in a "hyper realistic" style.

This one by "WojciechBober72" done as a print illustration:

and this comic book one by" Wouter Schaap":

Incredible work. Feel free to add other examples of this style if you know any.

I attempted to do a graphic/illustration style on the van in my Tintin diorama, to emulate the original books.....

You ca, go further if it's the word ART is titillating you

Paint a bust completely sky blue, with some clous, perhaps with bowler hat, a pipe and with some drawers in the body

Different style again; this one reproducing an abstract "Impasto" technique on a 3D bust. By "Aythami Alonso Torrent" on P&P.

Great example! Aythami gets phenomenal results.

Here is another of his that sprung to mind kinda along similar lines...
