DrEvilmonki Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Unfortunately family life will restrict my entry. Originally going to be a unit of bane knights by PP on display base. Half finished the base but as I said other things have come up. Not to worry I will do just a single bane knight now and do the rest as a ongoing project. Here is my first WIP pic. I am doing the armour as a NMM bronze. You will see one plate on the chest is done as I wanted to make sure I could achieve something reasonable having not atempted such a thing before. I am pretty happy with the results. The armour is a base of raw umber+ olive green ink. Highlight by adding white, then a bit more white then straight white. Over that was a thin glaze of Olive green ink. Then stipling of green/blue crayon mixed in a bit of water, then a mix of bright green crayon+olive green for in the cracks and crevices. Then picking up the bright highlights with white again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritual Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Yep, you better up your speed! Looks good, but there's very little of it at the moment! :poke: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 But if I don't leave it to the last minute my opponent won't have any chance at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted September 13, 2006 Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 *giggles in the background* I'm halfway through monkey...this is going to be an easy one... *pops brush back in the place it shouldn't be and continues painting...* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Well I have finished the brass armour on the body and have done my test section on the steel. Will probably tweek the rust a little bit. All the flat blue sections will end up rusty steel. I should have everything on the body done by tomorrow night, then I will do the arms. Oh and I seem to have missed that top scale with the rust. The other thing I am going to try and do before the close off is get a light tent. The slight reflection on the armour is really irking me.

Malebolgia Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Nice man! Looks very nice. I'm looking forward in seeing the finished product. Fits the theme of Bane Knights very well. And don't forget to post the finished result on PP.com! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wren Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 The brass looks great, and I find it so interesting that you used crayons as part of achieving that effect. I'm looking forward to hearing how the flat blue sections go from that to the rust like on the scales. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 I'm looking forward to hearing how the flat blue sections go from that to the rust like on the scales. I was hoping no one would be interested (that way I wouldn't have to tyoe anything). I will take some pics while doing the rest of the metal.

Nathan Caroland Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Alright, I need .. NEED a damn tutorial on just how exactly you use a crayon to paint a miniature, fill cracks, etc. First time I have ever heard of it and I am curious as all hell.

DrEvilmonki Posted September 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Slow hand clap for Supervike. :laugh: Don't you worry your pretty little head about it, I will be finished. @FF. They are water soluble artists crayons so I just mix them up as a sort of wash/glaze/stipple. I just like the finish when they dry as it looks different to paint, more pastelly/waxy. I use oil pastels for the rust effect, just scrape off a fine powder. I have since been shown a link to a historics website where they use similar techniques but using straight powdered pigment, so I am going to try that next. http://www.missing-lynx.com/rare_world/rw05.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Well, all done. I just posted it to the Gallery (still to be approved). Here is the final work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted September 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Oh and I never did pick up that light tent so I had to make my own. It seemed to cut the glare out pretty well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Very cool! Nice and evil look to it.. It really looks like he's been out there for a looooong time! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
callumrice Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Its a really nice model and very well painted. I think im maybe out of my league entering this competition. Even if I get through to the second round I feel Im on a hiding to nothing! This model has blown me away, its a cracking mini and I think its the best painted so far.

Beelzebrush Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Bloody hell DEm! I'm glad I wasn't against you That's nice work. I really like the eyes..... oh! it seems nicely weathered too PS. That's an ace idea for a light tent... I'll nick that ta very much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malebolgia Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 I'm against Dr.Evilspankey... And I really like what you did with the model. Definitely one of the coolest Bane Knights I've seen. I have some criticism about some elements, but I'll save that for after the contest...don't want to influence the judges in any way Cool job anyway...and If I might loose, I know I had an excellent opponent!

DrEvilmonki Posted October 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Well here is what I am doing for round two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEvilmonki Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 No smack talk today because to be perfectly honest I have hit a wall trying to figure out what the hell tattoos to put on this little plastic bastard! I finally decided I had better at least achieve SOMETHING tonight or I will never finish him. So since I don't plan on tattooing his face I thought I could at least do that. Quick pic follows. Fortunately he is a straight forward enough chap to paint so once I sort my shit out I will still have plenty of time to crush my opponent and have a relaxing evening thinking about lesser painters crying at their own inadequacies. Oh wait it seems I do have some smack left after all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrEvilmonki Posted October 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Nice eyes on that fella - looks good and evil. My first eyes since buying a head mounted visor thingy. I highly recomend it for old buggers like me (and to be honest it would have helped when I was younger as well!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
