  1. I like the way you sank the bases into the diorama making it both a competition piece and gaming pieces. I find the colors a bit too similar and they sort of blur together and you lose definition. I would have liked to see more contrast in the skin tones and use different browns for the railroad ties, clothing and wood so it shows up a bit better.

  2. very vibrant colors that really pop thanks to good contrast in your color composition. 

     

    with a model this bright, i think going with a more minimal base is a good idea to prevent it from being too cluttered. I would suggest trimming the grass with cuticle scissors so it is a bit less uniform. 

  3. the base really tells a story of being all alone. I wish the image was bigger so i could see the details of the model a bit better, but the ice creature thingy looks very clean and neat. definitely get the feeling of ice from that paint job.

  4. interesting conversion. i think because of the 3 heads, this is a difficult model to photo, and would have benefited from 2 photos of different angles combined into one image with the empty space cropped out to decrease file size and maximize image size. 

     

    very muted color scheme, with a nice base. wish i could see more of it.

  5. nice color choices. I can see several mold lines which is unfortunate. the skin could use another level of highlighting, as its all to similar in tone for me. i think a little bit of snow effects basing material would have been nice instead of just the grey drybrush on the basing.

  6. the base really adds to the model and helps tell a story. 

     

    i can see a couple mold lines, and the cloth wraps on the legs need some more contrast between the recesses and highpoints to promote definition in the wraps. like how you left a dark line along the ridges in the wings.

  7. careful when it comes to prepping those joint lines where the model glues together. if you dont gapfill with liquid greenstuff or some other product and file smooth, it really shows up when painted. certainly above table quality, but for a painting contest that sort of this is something i look for. 

     

    when you do reeds or grass tufts on a base, i find it works better to glue them on much longer than i want. then i use cuticle scissors to trim the grass down one or 2 pieces at a time to ensure it has a random length to it. that helps make it look more natural.

  8. my only complaint is the color used on the cart wood is too red in tone, when next to all that red dynamite. this would have been a good time to try out an older greyer wood tone to really make the red dynamite pop. all that dynamite does blur together and could benifit from some deeper shadows and lighter highlights to create a bit stronger contrast.

  9. wow. nice. even the dock looks weathered, and aged by the water. 

     

    i think the only bit of advice i could add is to suggest taking those tiny cuticle nail scissors, and trimming the grass clumps so the lengths are a bit more random and not little uniform domes.

     

    overall great use of contrast, blending and extra effort on the basing make this stand out
