edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Well, still got the two large models, a 40mm Paladin and the 54mm Monique De Noir, or the Death Korps Commissar, or I've got a couple other things I picked up to paint, like the Sherlock Holmes, Kingpin of London. Whatever I do, it'll be something just for fun, not for gaming, that way I can take my time with it. Thought of a new color scheme for the Paladin that could be neat, do her armor out in a forest green, with some vine freehand on the armor.

Mako Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Ooh, that would be a cool scheme. Definitely worth trying it out! Just going to see what you feel like on saturday then? A display piece is always a nice change from gaming, at least to my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yep! These are the two I'm really split on my attention between: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Tricky choice! Not sure about the big random spike of fringe the paladin has though lol. Probably something that makes more sense in the actual sculpt than the photos... Definitely would suit a green scheme tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Spike of fringe? Yeah, they're both beautiful sculpts, unfortunately I've managed to lose the scabbard on both of them...going to spend some time looking for those. That green color scheme is becoming more and more appealing the more I think about it... I think a camo green might be a good color to go with. What color should the vines be?

Mister Monkey Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Different shades of green.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I had thought of that...doing the vines in a paler green shade might be fun, and very druid, lol. How are you, Monkey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Dont ask me what shades, I am a bit colourblind in shades of green..... I am good thanks Ed, recovering from the weekend..... How are you doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 That wild wisp of hair at the front of her head, it's not really clear what angle it goes at in the photo so it looks a bit random! If you go for camo green, then maybe a deep forest green, perhaps even with a bright saturated green in the centre of the vines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm good. Working on final assignments for school right now. Getting into the crucifixion for one class and the end times for another, such chipper material! lol. Really fascinating stuff, though. Yeah, the green vines sound like a good idea. Hadn't thought of doing them in a darker color. What do you mean by a saturated green, Mako? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Something pretty vivid rather than a pastel shade. Thinking about it, camo green is a mid-saturation mid-tone colour, so an intense dark green with a core of a pastel green would work, or a more greyish dark green with a more intense pale green. Just gives you some extra contrast in there as well as the brightness. Wow, that's cheerful stuff for just before Christmas they've got you doing!

edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 This may sound silly, but could you give me some color swatches of examples? I'm still not sure I'm following you...color theory is something I'm pretty weak in, lol. Honestly, it's not so bad. Right after the crucifixion is jumping into the resurrection, which is always a cheerful topic, and so is some of the stuff with end times theology. Christian perspective of 'end times' is very much a 'the end is only the beginning' bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 That is some pretty happy subjects you have there Ed .... I was thinking a camo green armour with catachan green vines ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Oh, that could work really well! (yay for GW's conversion chart...) Might have to mess with the final shade of both, but it could definitely work out. I wonder if I have those paints with me...pretty sure I have camo green cause I was using it for the rail crew, but I doubt I have catachan with me. How was your weekend, Monkey? You said you were working on recovering from it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Even if you make the armour a yellow green and highlight the vines with a white mix instead of yellow to make it the pastel Mako was talking about ... 24 hours of movies killed my brain.....

Mister Monkey Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Good on him... a few of my mates did that a few years ago.... I did the original Star Wars trilogy back to back though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 See, that would be fun. 12 hours of LOTR back to back? Would drive me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I have done it on video, but can switch off doing that and do something else. One of my mates was so keen on LOTR he saw the first one forty something times at the cinema..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Wow. That's...kinda impressive, lol. And yeah, I'm sure I'll go through the trilogy before I see the Hobbit...but I'll also probably be writing or painting at the same time, lol.
