swellmodels Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 looks good. and the highlights are fairly muted, considering your usual style. i may have to battle this guys soon (provided i have healed sufficiently since our blood bowl game last August). -swell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yes we def have to get in some games ( my humans where hot that game and I believe you know longer have that die that was not kind to you that whole game ) another reason I love the card system. Yeah iam going for a more muted look for my malifaux stuff . Hoffman pretty much done as is the watcher . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Amazing stuff! I am so intimdated by your paint job that I don't even want to put my Hoffman stuff together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abhorsen Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 nice, my only suggestion would be liven up the bases alittle bit, maybe some greens or browns. for some reason i like how tired looking u made hoffman, i can just picture him working himself into a coma.

FoeRender Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Yeah I was going for a darker more over worked double agent feel for him . As for the bases iam going to green stuff in some leaves of fall , browns , orange and yellow dried leaves will add color while keeping the dark muted tone iam going for with these .

Spoon Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Excelent work! I'm glad to see your box looking so good (if you went to the Coolminiornot booth I probably sold it to you hahaha). I must say this Hoffman makes my paint jobs look downright childish. Keep up the excelent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted April 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2011 Yup I picked up at the booth I think I snagged the last one unless you had more stock somewhere . So with out further ado more progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvatarForm Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hoffman is awesome, Im not too happy about his constructs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buck Dog Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 Good work on this. I was really unsure about the Hoffman box.... I love Hoffman but wasn't convinced about the other constructs. You my friend, have changed my mind. I will have to pick this up to help flesh out my Levi crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Awesome , glade I can help lol . I added some blood too the bandages on Ryle, looked a little off without it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaqir Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 I wish I could paint even 5% as well as you. I am the type of guy who loves buying the models but rarely paints them because I wish I could do what you do. Those really are amazing!

CrimsonWraith Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 You can! While there are some that are "Wow, a brush, hey look I can create awesome," most great painters started where you are now. Painting classes can be huge, but if you can't get any of those, try youtube, there are great resources there. And if your still having trouble, ask here. My painting has jumped incredibly in the last 6 months, because I have been asking painters like FoeRender "How?" Usually followed by "I have no idea what you just said, explain how to do what you just told me to do." I have yet to meet a painter of any skill that won't turn waterfall when asked how they did something. And above all, like anything, practice.

FoeRender Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Hey thanks for thev awesome comments . I have to agree there are plenty of techniques that can make poor or average painter turn out super sweet stuff for the table top . And its easier than you think ! Keep an write on my youtube channle I posted in general chat . Iam in the process of making a few vids to take minis from dull to awesome with some simple techniques .

Dark Alleycat Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 It takes practice,the determination to keep doing it,and the willingness to accept that it might get screwed up,but even if it does,a week in a bath of simple green and you can start over again,and thats assuming it is something that can't be fixed. Once you internalize that message,you will be able to experiment,and that in my opinion is half of what makes you a better painter. the other half is studying and copying those that are allready better,learning how they do what they do. There are some truly amazing painters on these boards,and yes..so far I have yet to find one that isn't willing to bend over backwards almost to explain how they do things. and something I have found,that helped me immensely when making some of my jumps in how my models look. Having the colors you need to make it look the way you want. After you get more experienced you can mix them and match them,stir them with your magic wand and create majesty in metal and paint. But to start out...a good wide selection of colors will do wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
