Shock & Awe Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 @RustAndTheCity, I really love the pirate theme and that model, much like Zipp, is stunning. Excellent work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lay the models on the paint stained cloth - and the color moves onto the models?! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonewall78 Posted February 6, 2018 Report Share Posted February 6, 2018 I think for this month I am going to finish up the touches on Papa Loco, Guardian and Hunter. I also need to paint all the flames on Sonnia's Avatar. Pictures to follow I would also like to get the guild starter models done this month too... will have to see how it goes.

Maybe not all of them, but at least 11ss will. Working on my first commission job ever! Congrats on the commission work. How are you finding that primer, I have been thinking of picking some up instead of my Vallejo surface primer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a newbie with an airbrush, it was super easy to work with, goes on super smooth, and hasn't given me any adherence problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joachim Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I'm planning to finish the hooded rider this weekend as I'm using him in a tournament this sunday. I'm pretty busy on saturday so I basically have friday night and saturday morning. I've been giving the color scheme a lot of thought and I've been struggling a bit. I'll go through my thought process and post some WIP so hopefully you guys can give me some feedback. I wanted to use turquoise and purple as these are my accent colors for neverborn. So I wanted to have this constrast of dark colors and bright colors. I also wanted to paint the snakes on the horse similarly to the vines I used on the bases of my fae. To bring all of these colors together I didn't really feel like anything would work on the horse but browns and green/browns. So in the end the mount turned out te be really dark, which I think fits the model, and the bright colors on the riders cap really makes him pop. I still have to finish the skulls on his saddle and the wings, for the wing membrane I'm thinking of going for a mix of the brown from the skin, dwarf skin and white, this is the same mix I used for my fae skin, which is like a very pale greyish skintone.This will also add some more contrast to the horse. The saddle right now is very bland, mainly time constraints. I'm planning on just getting the rider tabletop ready and this is a model I'm probably going to revisit in about 6 months and finish the details. I think this is one that I will take a break from and come back to. Thoughts? Picture quality isn't great as i didn't have the time to take a picture during the day but it gives an idea of the colors. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnin' Coal Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 @Joachim excellent conversion work - gives the figure some real menace especially the way you have based it...once you have added the details and wing colors I am sure it will be knockout 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prof_bycid Posted February 10, 2018 Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 February work in progress photos early for once! I have the two beasts based and some of the base colors down. Bases are both Micro-Arts Studios. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joachim Posted February 10, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 10, 2018 So another 3 hour painting session this morning allowed me to finish the hooded rider (10ss) just in time. I'm very pleased with the results and this is one of those times when painting all the individual parts it always felt like it was lacking, but finishing up the wings with very light colors gave a very nice contrast and made everything pop. I'm also very pleased with the idea of very bright colors on the cloak and very dark colors otherwise. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iamfanboy Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Whew. Decided to take a break after doing a lot of commission work these last two weeks (Bretonnian Knights - boring! Plaguemarine terminators with scythes - almost interesting! Blood bowl orcs - looking forward to crushing them with my goblins!) and paint some stuff for me - namely, the Dreamer and Lord Chompy Bits for 28ss this month. LCB's wip pic did not turn out well (and who the hell thought it was a good idea to SCULPT THE BOTTOMS OF FEET THAT NEED TO BE FLUSH AGAINST A BASE?) but the Dreamer's did just fine. He's blonde, but it's so ash-blonde that it doesn't photograph well outside a lightbox. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnin' Coal Posted February 11, 2018 Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 @Joachim a most excellent result...the extra details and wing colors really work great @Viruk great to see the rarest Hannah actually made up...and with a paint scheme that does the model justice - look forward to seeing it finished @Kimberly nice work on Rasputina...not wanting to start an argument and only my opinion but stripey stockings Raspy is way better than the "I am an ice Queen but look freezing cold" sculpt that replaced it and seeing your model makes me want to pick up that set when it next goes on sale...look forward to seeing your whole crew For myself I have assembled and primed Patti Ramone then drawn breath as that translucent plastic is so brittle and absolutely horrible to work with that I needed a day or two off...but Mr Graves is progressing well - should have a WIP up in a few days time Great work everyone - love this challenge ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
