Ghool Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Here's my other entry for Privateer Press' Lock n' Load Gamefest. I went with a high contrast, highly complimentary colour scheme, which is very non-Cryxian. I opted to showcase my ability to paint hair, and faces on this model, and to try out something I have never tried before this miniature; Non-Metallic Metals. NMM - I like it. I think my competition pieces, and own work are now going to feature this method of painting metals. It's much easier to use than metallic paints, and looks much better, plus, all us gaming nerds slobber and drool over nice-looking NMM. The anchor was scratch built, and the chain I found in a cheap jewelry store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvatarForm Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I love it! If I had to nitpick, the horns dont work. Just the general colour of them make it look like she has baby sh!t stuck to her forehead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theHman Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Ghool, I've seen a lot of your work over the past year or so and while I think for the most part you do an excellent job, I have to say that you've really done an outstanding job on Skarre here. I completely love the color choice you used. She looks beautiful! And that face. wowowowowwwia baby! Good luck at L&L! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just the general colour of them make it look like she has baby sh!t stuck to her forehead. Yeah I've been trying to fix that...now I'm not going to see anything but baby crap stuck to her forehead. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbbelius Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Very nice mate, very nice indeedy!! Kudos on the NNM as well - bloody difficult to get right and you nailed it - gratz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjorkgnu Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Looks great! Gotta say that I'm not a huge fan of the NMM, though. They way you've done it makes it look almost crystalline, rather than metal. The gold of the sword looks a bit better than the steel part. I'm not sure how to improve it, because I'm no master of NMM myself. Toning down the reflectivity (if that's even a word) would help, I think. Good luck at L&L!

karn987 Posted June 17, 2011 Report Share Posted June 17, 2011 How did you manage to do the eyes with so much detail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghool Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 How did you manage to do the eyes with so much detail? A very fine point on my brush, and some flow release solution...and lots of practice. She was awarded a silver in the single category. I got some good critique from the judges as well. I changed the horns to a graduated black to purple, and smoothed the blends on the back of the jacket before entering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lone bard Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 To do bone/horns i use white with the tinyest bit of darksun yellow (i think, it might be iyandun, the foundation one.) and then when that drys put on a thin layer of devlan mud. makes it look like dirty bone. Other than that, i wish i could paint as good as you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
