underdog6750 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 A quick update with an early stage WIP. My god there is alot of NMM to do lol Im strongly considering stripping him and stsrting again with metallics? Any suggestions.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Zou need some starker highlights on that NMM. I am no master of the art (not by far lol) but I do think a brighter highlight and contrast here or there would help make it sheen more in a way. And there is no need to strip it. It looks good as is, imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Cheers ill try get some more darker tone in, i might try the bareist amount of white on the steel, the brass has only a midtone and wash, still have to highlight and shade that. im just not liking how the model is turning out? maybe it will all come together at the end (like so many of my models do) or maybe its because ive been staring at 15mm too long haha. think ill finish it, if i dont like it ill just throw it against the wall when im done in a fit of rage ---------- Post added at 11:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ---------- @ final cruicble, which terrain are you on about?

ttsgosadow Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Yah, I agree, it looks very good already. Just keep at it. I will be a centrepiece model when it's finished, no need rushing it or taking the easy way I need to try NMM one day as well, please lead by example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Cheers ttsgosadow, ive put about 4 hours work into this model, ive only been getting to put in an hour here and there so its probably the lack of conitinuity that is throwing me off most. With NMM start of on a pistol or something small first. Its a bit more forgiving and alot less time consuming. You will be suprised at how well your first atempt goes (well i was at least) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 So got another hour and a half in since my last painting session. Try to paint while keepin an eye on a very active 18 month old isnt that easy lol. Im pretty pleased with the brass. Any suggestions on where to go next? Ive never taken on a nmm project like this before. Do people think i should bring the brass highlights upto pure white? Im also thinking about using some pigments for rust and grime coming from the rivets etc. But not too sure if ill f**k it up lol.

underdog6750 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 So after a very long tine away from malifaux, I am slowly creeping my way back in, having attend 2 tournies this year (Vappa and the GB Team GT) I have to admit i missed the familiar crews (players) from tournies, and the game itself. The more i play it the more i seem to enjoy it again. Ive had a rollar coaster of a time away, being medically discharged from the army and starting a new job as well as the other obstacles life throughs in your way. How ever it has been a great time with all the goods outwaying the bads Enough of me rambling sh**e, (this is whats happens when im on the internet with a drink) here are a few pictures of recent paintings of mine. I have a few other works in progress for the comming summer. Hope you all enjoy them As always i am looking for comments and critisisms to help improve my painting! http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/community/gallery/image/1223-sam-0644/ http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/community/gallery/image/1224-sam-0645/ http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/community/gallery/image/1225-sam-0646/ http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/community/gallery/image/1226-sam-0647/ http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/community/gallery/image/1227-sam-0648/ http://themostexcellentandawesomeforumever-wyrd.com/community/gallery/image/1228-sam-0649/ Oh and some photography tips would be nice as well lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrella Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 I hadn't thought of using red on Guild Constructs, but it works really well on them, very striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks, I painted all my constructs (warden, hunter, watcher and guardian) in an evening before the team GT a couple of weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy30672 Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 One photo tip... You can never go wrong with more light. Your camera can compensate for more light MUCH easier than compensating for too little light. Multiple light sources, though try to use all the same temperature of light, i.e., all fluorescent light or all incandescent light, etc. The painting looks GREAT!!

underdog6750 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Yea i need 2 new bulbs in the kitchen (where i do my photography) although i don't shine light directly on the model just around it. I find direct light causes too much glare? Is there a way to compensate this without the use of a light box or filters on the bulbs? Thanks though. I was fairly pleased to say i painted 5 models in 6 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yngair Posted May 29, 2014 Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Nice work, I really like the basing you have done on your crews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 Thanks basing is one of my favorite parts of modeling lol. The new bases for my next crew are gonna be to the same standard as my kirai crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy30672 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 A filter for a bulb could be anything from a professional filter screen to a simple paper towel or cheesecloth. Just anything that lets light through, only not so harshly. A facial tissue works well, too. Just remember... the closer the camera is to the model, the more light you need.

underdog6750 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Ill try a few household things i have lying about. Only problem is the lights are attached to the celling lol. Ill sort something out. Failing that ill just take photos during the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy30672 Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Yeah, one of the best ways to get more light and no glare is to move the lights closer to the model and also to filter them at the same time. If they're ceiling lights, that's much tougher. Maybe go for using a tripod and a much longer (1/4 to 1/2 second) exposures...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 That could work. My friend has a tripod i could borrow cheers for that. I also have a lamp that i plan on getting a daylight bulb for which could also help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ha! I remember some of these guys tabling me at Vappa (inc. Dead justice). Good to see them all painted up now mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
