Cy Dudley Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 Would love to get feed back on my painting, have just picked up the brush after a year away form miniature games and am looking to improve. Pandora Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requirement Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I think the paintjob looks really great. I wouldn't have even guessed it had been a year off the brush. Only critique I would give is on the OSL, which I am not the largest fan of in general. Maybe tone it down a little bit (how bright is that magic, 500 watts?), try and make it look a little more realistic. Otherwise everything looks pretty good, smooth paint, good details. I look foward to seeing more as you keep working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 It is a very nice paintjob, I like the way dark colors contrast with light coming out of the box. I think you might try to highlight the green on OSL a little, adding a touch of very light green or even a tiny amount of pure white to the edges of the "flames" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARGAIN Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Light form the box could be more bright because the OSL on the clothing can't be as bright as the lightsource itself. Maybe some white and yellow mixed with the green you used for this highlights. The OSL on the face looks very good. Clean job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Dudley Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks for the feed back I definitely agree with the light source needing a bit of a highlight. Also think I need a bit more light in my pictures but all the other bulbs in the house were coursing a strobe on the iPad Camorra Next up Candy ( her face is in a bit of a bad shadow from the light angel ) And Kade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmeep Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 I was pleasantly surprised with the shadows on the base, good idea and well executed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARGAIN Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 The drop shadows are fantastic! Yes, more light in front of the minis could be better. Your last photo shows it. Light and camera-view form the top do a good result. Like this and I can see more details/ brushwork. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Cy-Fi, This is top-notch work. Extremely accurate and well painted models that are interesting to look at. Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kutslo Posted July 19, 2014 Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Looks really good so far, especially seeing as you've had a year off painting! I agree with the others that the shadows a really nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Dudley Posted July 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks all for the compliments I have bean chalanged by a friend to make a scenic bace for pandora to include a wall behind her for her shadow to fall on wonder what hers will look like ?.... Next up is the poltergeist, the "swell of magic" at his bottom half and the bits that emigre from his back and arms have bean gloss varnished to add a bit of light to them. Also the flesh has specs of blue and red under it to add a bit of a rott look (bit hard to pick out in the pics) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy Dudley Posted July 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 Ok so hears my teddy I scratch built him from super sculpy which I had left over from a prop I was making ( manly cos I was skint ) I am quite pleased with it on the hole. The whiskers are toothbrush brisels and a bit of Cotten wool for the stuffing he is loosing. I tried to make the zip on his back have a spinal cord look . Would really like to get feed back on this one as it's a first for me. I really enjoyed it and am planing to do more scratch building 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 21, 2014 Report Share Posted July 21, 2014 I looks... quite disturbing I really like the sculpt - it has this nice old-loved-teddy that a child might have grown up with yest the paintjob and some nasty little details give him a decidedly evil, haunting look. I like it a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Dudley Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Barbarous is still a WIP but I wanted to share this pic as I have bean playing with the iPad Camorra and a better light sorce and a bit of paper to defuse, what do you think? Any tips anyone can give me for geting the best pic I can would be gratefully reserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARGAIN Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 Much better You can also use a programm to finally correct the color levels, the white balance and a whiff of sharpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Dudley Posted July 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I only have an iPad, can anyone suggest any apps that would do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KARGAIN Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 I don't have an iPad, but something like "photogene" will do a good job. Didn't found photogene with iTunes, but with google you get the right link to the iTunes store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 22, 2014 Report Share Posted July 22, 2014 The pic is very good. I like him a lot, he has a nice, gritty look to him. I'd only suggest working a little more on the gore effect. While the random placement of bloody spots looks great, I think you could improve it slightly by adding a bit of dark red/brown ink or GW's Blood for the Blood God paint. Just apply it gently with the tip of your fine brush to add a little extra depth. Inks and that GW's paint also add a glossy look, which is nice for blood effect.

Cy Dudley Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Thanks for the feedback Still need to work some more on Barbaros gore and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Dudley Posted August 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 Just put the finishing touches to Barbaros. The blood drips on his weapon were a bit of an after thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy Dudley Posted August 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2014 Primordial magic is a bit of a scrap build, a GW bit for the mouth, a jar off of sum game that was in my bits box and sum green stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
