    Just finished this model for a local guy. Took around 4 hours.

    Another crew complete, woot. Also glad you like my work LordDarcy!
  3. fupersudge
    Shes done now.
  4. fupersudge
    I tried a lot of new things with these. I like to think the teal really pops with the orange tone bases.
  5. fupersudge
    Stalkers are done, time to finish off the rest of the crew!
  6. fupersudge
    Yeah I need to get some airbrush thinner then.
  7. fupersudge
    We all have to die sometime! Seriously though, I keep my window open when I airbrush. I really should start using some kind of airbrush medium though, I hear it works so much better.

    I got my airbrush for the same reason, but it turns out you can use it for so much to cut down on painting time. I dual prime with it, base coat with it, do OSL with it, Hell I even do my matte varnish with it now as well. I highly recommend getting one.

    More progress. Only a few more hours and they will all be complete!

    Nice! I might, not sure yet. Can't wait to see what you put together!
  11. fupersudge
    Are you planning on entering the contest Wyrd is hosting?
  12. fupersudge
    Oh wow, your painting improved really quickly. Impressive! Keep up the great work, can't wait to see how good you are in a few months.

    I have finished quite a few crews, still don't have one of my own though. I actually don't have any models of my own for anything... Seriously your work is great. I will eventually go through all the pages of this, interested to see what else is in here!
  14. fupersudge
    Sounds like a lot of work. I envy you, I have yet to be able to put that kind of time into a model.

    Things you will need. -Airbrush -A model -A sexy outfit Things that help, but are not needed -Flow improver -Wet pallette -Sandwich Okay so you have some models that are base coated for the most part. What you are going to do is airbrush in light coats with a rough 3:1 mix of thinner and your chosen color. Airpressure is not super important, but running your compressor on a low pressure helps. I use around 8psi I think. So what you do is you airbrush the glowing object and everything around it that the light from said object would touch. You can angle the air brush as well so the paint lands on the spots light would touch so it makes things a little easier. So now you have basically what you want. So lets make it better! What I do is mix a darker version of the color and dilute is into a wash with some flow improver added into the mix. Throw that wash on the airbrushed areas and wait for it to dry. Then highlight from the part of the model that would have the most vibrant light and do lighter and lighter layers the further from the source you get. Wooooo OSL is now complete. ( I photoshopped this picture so that only the glow from the dagger is in color ) Notice how objects that have the color are brighter the closer they are to the subject and then get softer and just fade back off into the grey. Also notice how there is shadows behind the areas the light hits. Seems pretty simple right? Well it is, and its even easier once you get some practice in. You can do a model from primed to finished with nice OSL like the model on the right in a couple hours this way. The OSL on that model started off with the same green as the Stalkers above. Just to get a idea on how they are going to turn out when finished as well. Hope this helps, if anyone has questions I will try my best to explain.

    Holy christ, I am jealous of your work. How long do you typically spend on a model paint wise?
  17. fupersudge
    Before airbrushing the base color for OSL After. Then you just use darker shade of that color super diluted like a wash and then highlight accordingly. ( I photoshopped this picture so that only the glow from the dagger is in color ) Here is a reference picture to kind of show how the light should fall on the model coming from whatever is glowing. Notice how objects that have the color are brighter the closer they are to the subject and then get softer and just fade back off into the grey. So you should dilute your paint more and more and use a lot of layers to do this smooth fade to your models base coat.

    Base coated some stalkers. These look fun!
  19. fupersudge
    Thanks, hopefully the owner of the models will enjoy them as well!
  20. fupersudge
    Pretty much good to ship back!
  21. fupersudge
    I will make a small write up about it after I get these models shipped out. I have another crew that will require it so I can explain it as I do it on them. I do use airbrush a little bit. A lot of my OSL is done by brush after airbrush. Like Mentioned above I will make a small write up on how I do it. As for other blending, I do not use airbrush. I only really use my airbrush for priming and OSL. Sometimes base coating depending on size of model and etc.
  22. fupersudge
    Got a little behind due to some car troubles. Should be finished in the next couple days though! These things are pretty fun to paint.
  23. fupersudge
    A little more progress, time to take a break.
  24. fupersudge
    Haha, yeah school is what slows me down right now, but I still manage a decent turn around. Should have the models back in the mail this upcoming week. So many little tricks you can learn to cut down on time. Just keep at it and you will get faster and better with time.

    No real progress on the models today ( Sorry Tadow2 ) Had some school work to finish, sooooo I will just post that. Sketch for class.
