A little more Torment

My Tormented family - still needs work, but I think they work nicely together now.

By gawd, was it june last time I painted…

Here’s a little new stuff from my first love; ‘dora.

Aw'right. Here's the start of my next project. I wonder who'd put their ties to organised crime so openly on display...

Here’s a few WIP from the syndicate, and I allowed myself to take them out for a spin :

So… I needed something else and came upon a Centauron Marshall. Awesome model and I’m in full swing.

I decided to try and work with three sources of light. A green top light, shining down on the back. A blue/teal reflection of a magical explosion off to his left. And a warm red/yellow glow from a lava stream below. 

Here’s my WIP.

Orange light on the front/stomach green across the back

Experimenting with working in a fur texture.

The colour of magic

 

Never worked that spear beyond the initial airbrush priming and an edge highlight.

Warm and glowy transition into cool tones.

I love what you're doing with volumes of light and dark and contrast in saturation, it gives so much depth to your models! Can I ask about your process? Do you do volume sketches first? Or how are you balancing detail view vs overall impression? I find my nose stuck to the mini for hours and obsessing over tiny stuff only to later realize that the things I didn't like look great at arm's length and the stuff I poured hours into are completely inconsequential or just clutter...

Thanks @djmacbest my process is mostly starting doing a volume sketch - I have some early shots of the centaurion as well : 

From there, it just went downhill, as I started dousing it in colour with my paintbrush, while I was telling myself I tried to create ‘texture’.

I find, that I care less and less about fidgeting with tiny details, using light in this way kinda takes control of the viewers eyes, so you miss the little things.

I’m very much inspired by Marco Frisoni - here’s a link to the video that inspires my work with the Centaurion Marshall :
