zeil999 Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 (edited) Okay, so my very first serious attempt ever at painting miniatures has finally arrived to completion. Man, was it a learning experience too. Research and getting used to the process of manipulating the paint to how I want it to look was very tedious to say the least. Also, quite a few "happy accidents". ^.^ Let me know what you guys think. Edited July 24, 2012 by zeil999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think they look really good. I like the glow effect from the eyes alot. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guild Monkee Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Wouldn't have guessed they were your first minis, they look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 If those are your first painted miniatures then you have a lot of talent for this hobby! The eyes are lovely with that glowing effect. Also, the bases look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Those are really well done, you definitely have a talent for painting. For some feedback I would only say that the swords and gun are a bit bland. Considering the eye glow and how well the cloaks are done you can't really complain but in the future spending a bit more time on them will make the models pop even more.

Viruk Posted July 26, 2012 Report Share Posted July 26, 2012 I like the way you painted their robes, this worn look suits them well. The OSL around the eyes is nice and the bases are great. I'd probably consider painting the sword hilts with a different color, some kind of bronze/gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeil999 Posted July 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thanks everyone for the encouraging words and advice! Regarding the swords: The hilts are a bronze metallic. lol Also, they lost quite a bit of their "punch" after I put the Dullcote on. It really disappointed me when that happened. Plus the ink wash didn't seem to take very well on the metallics. It truly is a learning process and I appreciate all the advice. ^.^ Next up, Samael, Sonnia, and finishing Sonnia's Avatar.
