Hansel Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I had an absolute blast painting these guys. Keep in mind these are the 7th, 8th, and 9th minis I've ever painted. I'm really proud of them and happy with how they turned out, and want to share them with everyone. Of course, criticism is welcome and encouraged! Thanks for taking a look. The photos aren't incredibly detailed, but I did the best with what I had (I think!) (It's hard to see in this next one, but I like how the base turned out, which is why I photo'd it at that angle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy'sLawyer Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I can tell you are not new to the hobby. Nice. Can't wait to see them on the table. Want to see the shading and highlighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Bigglesworth Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love that you did their skin green. Great job on the dirt. Can't wait to play them against mine. Working on Sonia now then them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Alleycat Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oh my...did everyone here in portland decide to pick up Sonnia at around the same time lol? Ok but I allready have dibs on purple and black as a color scheme. yours look awesome by the way...you did way better on the osl then I did. Still can't make it work out proper =( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks guys. There's not too much in the way of highlights (though I may change that before I dullcote 'em)--Basically I basecoated them in various colors and washed once or twice over each color, and voi-la. I wanted to do them quickly but still have 'em looking good. I think I'm most happy with how the swords turned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansel Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I should have made this thread's title more broad, but oh well: I finished Samael tonight (minus the base--that's easy & I'll do his & Sonnia's together). I'm not quite as happy with him as I am with the Witchlings (they took less time, too), but I still like him. This one's a bit dark but you can see his facial features better: Front: Back: Overall he looks a little muddy to me (though better IRL than in the photos): perhaps I need to try a little highlighting and drybrushing after washing--I'm still new to painting and I haven't branched out to those techniques yet.

Hansel Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Also: If there ever was a miniature that fit Roland, the Last Gunslinger of Gilead, Samael's it (reading the Dark Tower series right now, and I couldn't help but notice after looking over these pictures!)

Omenbringer Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Love the greenish looking metal on the witchling blades. Would recommmend not using the cameras flash or holding the models so close to your painting light when taking your pictures though. It is washing out your detail work.

Hansel Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I'm not using the flash, but I am holding them next to the light. Next time I'll photograph them in the daytime. Re: Witchling's blades: Thanks! I just created a very thinned wash with a light blue and washed over the furrow in the middle of the blade, and the color just stuck there. I was surprised at how easy it was and how good it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
