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.

Seems like photobucket did not work out for me. Next time i try to upload my pics into the forum. I heard about the Iron Painter and decided to give it a try. Meanwhile i´m painting on Lilitu for Neverborn. A first WiP: Why the heck are all my pictures on the side? How can i upload more pics then 0,5 mb?

Very nice love the color harmony with the green and the purple.

But before we can begin with the skeeters i finished the first mate.

Really inspiring how you play with the colors from base to miniature. Looking forward to see more.

The whole mini ist great but the metal works and reflections are outstanding! Love it!

These are very nice paintings, is there a hidden link to x-men rogue in the last picture ? You clearly have the skill but from what i can see on the pictures you could give their eyes a little more treatment they are lacking some contrast . Besides that point they are looking fantastic.

Not really, just doing the first step with ab so i can paint over the things it should not hit. I have a photo of the finished smoke effect after i´m done with the Airbrush. But i will do more step fotos of the iron skeeters which are planned to be sprayed on weekend. Also i´m trying to do some weathering with masking on them. Thank you very much Yesterday i finished Earl Burns, not totally happy with the blue dungarees but he will do. So stay tuned for more pirates

There is plenty of use. Especialliy the ground colors. Most of the fog and light effect of the rockets was made with Airbrush (and a little with normal brush). The swamp and wood was made with AB. I painted the captain and the backpack seperate so i could work free with the fog. Added a litte light to the captian afterwards with normal brush. I can´t do eyes or small things but it really fastens your work on large base colors.
