edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I know I want to have Von Konrad and Captain Canada facing off in the middle of it, I think that I'll have some German soldiers laying down some covering fire towards the back. The thing that's interesting to think about is the color contrast between the two centerpoint minis. She's going to be pretty easy to do, with white and red as her main colors she'll draw attention. The trick is to give him something that'll draw the eye as well without blending into the other soldiers. Some OSL might be the way to go... ---------- Post added at 11:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 PM ---------- Yeah, the storm seems to be coming our way, actually.

Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Enjoy the storm, it had surprisingly blue lightning. Very pretty, in a ghostly way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowchikawowers Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 moving back in with my parents. work doesn't pay well enough to get my own place, but my sister is getting married next month and i am not sticking around here with a pair of newlyweds. can you say awkward? no thanks. I'll get argue with my dad instead. Mako, the best art is usually therapy. Mine almost always is. it's true expression that gives art its life.

edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah, that would be a reason to head out, Chris, lol. Well, looks like I'm about to drop into the WAMP forum...you known as the same name there, Mako? Because I want to blame you in public, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ick, staying with a newly married couple sounds horrendous. Oh wait, in two weeks time I'll be the only one of my whole family not married... ---------- Post added at 04:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:06 AM ---------- Oh aye, I'm the same person everywhere, there's even my thread there that has stuff you may not have seen before lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ah, good...means I can blame you just fine, lol. I'll be aiming for the same ID on there too. I figure if I'm going to be working on improving my painting like I hope, it'll be a good idea to find a specialist site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 There's a ton of brain power on there, and they're mostly friendly lol.

edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 For finding and joining the WAMP forums, Chris. Heh, I'm pretty much in the same boat there...not in a relationship, no prospects for that changing. But, in the meantime, I'm getting better at cooking/painting/writing and so on, so it's a wash at the moment. ---------- Post added at 11:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ---------- So, it's always interesting to notice, however long afterwards, the inspiration for particular pieces, including characters... Just found the character who seems to be the ancestor to the idea for one of my villains. Quite interesting, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah, I found the inspiration for Zygmunt. Well aside from his name, I've known that one for a while. Solf J. Kimblee, from Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. His whole mannerism and Orange and Blue morality outlook on the world seems to fit Zygmunt rather well.

bowchikawowers Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 orange and blue morality...? well.. i suppose it's pretty much the same amount of opposite as black and white lol. aw man... thunderstorm. now i'm never gonna sleep. geez so much lightning! and hail! my poor car....

edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Orange and Blue morality is a trope that showcases morals that are completely alien to what humans consider normal morality. So, as an example, Kimblee holds that the highest state of morality is to follow one's ideals. He criticizes harshly soldiers who are disturbed by killing civilians, by praises equally as highly a pair of doctors who die while saving civilians in that conflict.

Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I always liked orange blue morality, there's a system but it's a case of working out the rules of it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 It does make things interesting, that's for sure. What're you working on, Mako? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Nothing much really, just faffing with stuff. Feel a bit weird so I'm just chilling out and doing little things mostly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Fair enough. Oh, by the by, you still going to be able to organize the last bits of the Quill for this round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah, should be, what do I need to do? ---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ---------- Oh blast, just been checking my paints.

edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 After I put up the voting thread (or you, either way works), I'll be having people PM their votes to you. After the set amount of time, you tally the votes and announce the top three. Preferably with some sort of announcer spin on it to liven things up. *wink* ---------- Post added at 01:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 AM ---------- Yeah, should be, what do I need to do? ---------- Post added at 06:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:01 AM ---------- Oh blast, just been checking my paints.

Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Oh yeah, that's easy to do. Finishes on Thursday, right? I had a really old (15 year old) GW tentacle pink, and a newer one from when they stopped making it about four years back. Both are really gloopy, which says a lot about the quality of the newer pots! Lol Will probably be going to the local store tomorrow night, so can get a new red and pink. Will need them for the Maruts, after all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Technically it's done midnight Saturday. After that, there's usually about four days for voting. Oh, and as judge, you have a vote as well. That...is some old paint. Oh yeah, the Maruts! Looking forward to seeing that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I have some others of them still, they're mostly good. The blood red is from the same set and totally fine, lol. Yah, I'm going to make sure I pick him (her?) up when I'm back home, don't have a huge amount of extra time but will take back a bunch of other stuff and bring that instead! Swirly pink patterns is too tempting *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm looking forward to seeing the results, that's for sure. Any chance you could do a tutorial on the swirly bits? Not the whole model, just that part of the technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
