Maulwurfmann

A few points on Grootslang. He looks like standing on a diamond cookie Next time try a little less obvious rock. Maybe not so big and shaped inwards. Try a rock like wall with natural cork and work the diamonds in. Something like that from Amazon. Just cut a small bit out and use it as rock/rockface. You drybrushed really hard on that big fellow. Try to make the color a little bit brighter and wash him afterwards. That will merge the color together and you would have smoother color blendings. Also he is only in one tone. Try to make the face brighter to pop out. So you can focus his face more. Is that a gloss varnish on the gems? If that`s the case look where the light is reflected try to paint the same reflex next time with color instead If it`s not you did a good job. Hopefully that doesn´t sound too harsh. I like your progress and with a little extra work he would be great.

Working on my Iron Painter mini

I´m not sure if there is very mucht to make a guide of. Its plain Model Color Black highlighted as smooth as possible with some blue-grey like sombre grey or shadow grey. Maybe i can take pictures next time i try the black. It´s magenta flou from Model Color. But it´s glossy as hell when i used it. Had to prime the whole mini matt so the gloss would fade. Feel free to do so.

Like Treehouse said, the white needs to build up from a darker tone like a "bone" color. Painting straight clean white will look abnormal. Also the red and the black could use some more highlights. But for a beginner you´re very good! Give the book some letters... not actually real letters but shaky doodle lines in black... (hopefully this makes sense in english) Start with a capital letter in the upper left corner like in old bibles or medieval books. That will improve the book by far.

Also i´ve updatet the older postings without photobucket. Maybe there are some new pictures, i did not replace them with the same as before. Just added every pic i had on my hands.

Thanks for the tip, i´ve already used photobucket and imageshack. But the first shut down the links and the second became a paid service which was unstable and bugged. Sometimes you could not upload images and once they lost half of it. Now i´m trying imgur. Hopefully they will do better. On the other hand lilitu is finished. Here are some pics of minis i finished too the past weeks.
