Mister Monkey Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Not much, weekend is almost over, got one game of Malifaux and one game of X-wing in, so it went pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sounds good, win either of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Won X-wing..... was wiped out in Malifaux, but he only had one Tokerage on one wound left so gave pretty well too *grin* What you all been up to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 DR WHO!!! such an awesome show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Game of Thrones and Dr Who together in such short order, but must wait for both me and my gf to have time off so we can watch together. It is the greatest test against temptation of our age Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 If it's a Dr Who marathon, there's absolutely no excuse for both of you not to fake your own deaths to start it immediately! *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 What Mako said. Dr Who is clearly more important than work. why are you waiting?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Not bad, been painting a sniper today. Going to get food before finishing her skin off I think. How's the weekend gone your end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 It was fun. Watching the Hobbit was a blast, we had eleven people with us to make things all that more interesting. Haven't done much today, but managed to catch up on some sleep. How's the sniper coming along? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Sounds good, what did you think of the hobbit? She's... coming along. Just the skin so far and ecause it's so effects easy I'm having to be really careful and not paint how I usually do. But so far, so good. Basic skin is done, just facial features to do before working on the other one. Then both the suits at the same time since they're in uniform.

edonil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 What's different about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Its dominated by the OSL, so I'm having to place highlights carefully and work the natural shading and highlights into places so that so when the OSL is added they still exist, but match up nicely. One half of a face in shadow needs a much darker palette than the lit half, but once the red/green contrast goes in with the OSL, I still need a defined fAce with a vaguely visible skin tone! ---------- Post added at 01:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:06 AM ---------- Also, my thumb appears to be determined to make me type incoherent rubbish.

edonil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 How's the thumb doing today? OSL...there's another thing I've never tried messing around with that I want to someday, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Thumb is a real annoyance. Pain is so much less when it's in the brace, but I can't grip a brush or use it for the space bar! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 what's OSL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Object source lighting. Making stuff look like it glows basically. In this case, most of the light on the piece I'm painting comes from a lit flare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Object Source Lighting. It's a technique that uses a light source within the model, where it impacts how you paint the rest of the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 I tried it with blue flame on a Ramos one time, it worked surprisingly well for a first attempt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Clearly you should be doing more of it then ed! ---------- Post added at 01:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 AM ---------- Yeah, I'll post some up when I get a bit further. So far it's the base and some skin that's been done, it's not very impressive! ---------- Post added at 01:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 AM ---------- My two favourite parts of painting - OSL and freehand. Heh. So I had to add a little tattoo to the snipers arm, and she'll have tiger stripe camo on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 Ooo, spiffy. Looking forward to seeing that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 It's not very exciting so far, but I'll put some up sometime this week. Hopefully will get the skin and suits done by next weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 All my models and paints are packed... had to do weird prioritization between painted plastic and metal minis to determine if they'd get foam case storage, not that unbearable storage or horrifyingly make-do storage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 25, 2013 Report Share Posted March 25, 2013 So, you've got nothing to work on now? That's no fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
