bbb Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I finally got around to wrapping up my Ramos crew and was hoping for some feedback. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. http://www.dakkadakka.com/core/gallery-search.jsp?u=132 And here's a Teddy I did for fun.

FoeRender Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 these all look great , just the blood on teddy should have more of a wet look . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I like them, the only thing I could say and it might just he the camera but Ramos kind of blends together. So maybe darken his pants with a wash or two. But like I said before it might just be the lighting or the photo. But good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lheugast Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 steamborg executioner...I want one like that also good job on teddy's gums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalmPlains Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Really nice crew! I enjoy your painting style very much. I think my only suggestion would be a bit of "rust" around the spider bolts, easily achieved with a brown wash strategically painted in a circle around each bolt, and a small rust run-off line below! But that's just flavour, its all up to you're taste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinncent Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Nice, nice work :clap: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaslyne Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 These look amazing. My only suggestion would be the lighting from Ramos' hand. Adding a little bit of blue highlights over his arm and face would really make that part of him come to life. But like previous suggestions this is totally up to personal preference. Regardless you did a great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAGabriel Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Nice, but when we have time of constructive critizism: Like Jaslyne said, the OSL would be a nice touch for Ramos. Another point is the blood, it is not glossy enough and way too red. But that is complaining on a high level, so more minis, more pics!

Moondog Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Very nice, good work. Can't add anything that hasn't been mentioned already in terms of feedback, keep painting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbb Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks, everyone. I tend to be pretty hard on myself when it comes to the quality of my minis, so I do appreciate the kind words. @FoeRender: good point about the blood. I hit everything with Dulcote, so I should go back and shine the blood up. @lamwyrd: the highlights are there, but didn't show up well :/ @CalmPlains: there is a very slight rust ring round a bunch of the bolts, I wasn't sure how intense to make it, so I'll go back and take a look again. @Jaslyne/DAGabriel: I'd love to try some OSL, but I think I'd have to practice a bunch before I went back and tried it on my Ramos.

bbb Posted July 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Here are some Rasputina constructs I also did and the next batch of figures on my workbench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 Ice golem is looking great , some snow spatter would make them better , fluff wise I believe it snows while Rasputina is around fighting . weird seeing them on dry ground .

I'm torn about adding a snow effect to the bases. On the one hand it would fit the theme of the model, but I want to make the bases as generic as possible so I can swap minis in and out of crews as needed. I'd feel weird if I ran them with Ramos or Leveticus and there were no other models with snow on their bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatnicguy Posted July 13, 2011 Report Share Posted July 13, 2011 That's a fair call, u couldn't just put some snow ( or if you were really keen cut or sculpt some ice crystals to be sticking up in the snow on the base) and have it only around the feet? Like the ice guys are radiating cold? They look great btw, love the clean simple paint job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
