Guardian Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hi guys, Finally I got some of my miniatures photographed! YAY! Without further ado: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadilon Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Pretty darn incredible. Having painted almost all of these, I understand what it took to get these to look like this. The black line between the red/white on the BE's candy cane gun? Just, wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darios Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 that is only refferable to as: Terrific! absolutely superb paint jobs... Oo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I wish I had enough talent to even attempt to paint NMM. Really splendid job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted December 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I wish I had enough talent to even attempt to paint NMM. Really splendid job! Just keep practicing! And try to make colored nmm, its much easier for begining! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Great work on all of these, I love the smoothness of highlights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanster Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow! Very nice blending and shading. For some reason I like the Guild Hounds the best, although it's tough to pick a favorite among so many superbly painted figures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 That is some lovely painting. Is the running Guild Hound really that colour, or it just the photography? It looks almost yellow in the picture and considering the naturalistic colours of the standing one it seems like an odd choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheijtan Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Wow, absolutely incredible! How did you do the shoes and vest of the desperate mercenary? I am currently working on a Misaki in Yellow and Green and I am facing the problem of highlighting the yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks almost yellow in the picture and considering the naturalistic colours of the standing one it seems like an odd choice. Its slightly darker shade than the pic, but generally you are right, the color is a bit off. Shouldve gone a bit more creamy than yellow. Wow, absolutely incredible! How did you do the shoes and vest of the desperate mercenary? I am currently working on a Misaki in Yellow and Green and I am facing the problem of highlighting the yellow. White undercoat -> yellow ink -> sepia(brown) ink and yellow mix for shading and play with that. It was a repetitive task to get it looking good. Im not 100% satisfied with it, it was more of an experiment. ps. anybody noticed a student is in a dragon ball Z color scheme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbleachman Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Just keep practicing! And try to make colored nmm, its much easier for begining! Good luck! Yeah. I would like to practice but I don't have the time to paint paint. Only dunk the models in some sloppy bits of paint. Too many to paint and too little time. If I had the time, I would do a $$$$$$$$ ton of blending. But there is a major difference between 12-16 hours on a model and 3-4. lol I guess I will have to practice sometime... ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted December 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Whoah I just realized (thanks to a friend) how green the lantern light looks on brutal effigy! That is a very interesting effect, bc there is no trace of green on the miniature itself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted January 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Finally, I got the relic hunters boxed set I had an awesome idea for my wasterels! Think: Gangs of New York... I imagined these guys lurking in some dark wet alley. This is the WIP of them: Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 How'd you pull that off? It looks awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 It sure does. I might have to borrow that idea. I do have a couple sets of Tamiya brick walls that I was going to use for another project that would work perfectly for something like this.

KML Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 i like you painting skilln style, reminds me of the old rackham style Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Those wasterals are awsome. Lobe the idea and how they hot together side by side As for your nmm i hope to get that good at it. So far ive only done a couple of miniatures but its a technique i really enjot despite being so time consuming. I just need more practice. Thanks again for sharing. Look forward to seeing the wasterals painted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Hmm, seems I've not been in here before, which is clearly a mistake as you've got some gorgeous stuff in here! The painting is great, and the wastrel bases are very clever and really atmospheric. The only thing I would say, and this is a personal preference, is that I would push the shadows darker on the NMM. That's just me though, and you've got the understanding of light that is always the major point of good NMM so feel free to ignore me!

I agree with the shadows, but you know how it is... Im always scared of messing up the whole thing! So, each time I get a bit braver Baby steps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Oh, I know that feeling well! And NMM is one of the trickier things to learn so just pushing yourself a little each time is a very sensible way to tackle it (smarter than the way I did it anyway...). I usually aim for pure black in the very last shadow, and pure white as the very tiniest point highlights on NMM, but it does take a lot of very thin glazes and slow, careful fiddling, and there is always that risk of a mistake so only push it until you're happy with how it looks and how difficult its getting.

Wings Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 I love those bases! What did you use for the walls? I can't wait to see what they look like all painted up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Mcmold Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) Finally, I got the relic hunters boxed set I had an awesome idea for my wasterels! Think: Gangs of New York... I imagined these guys lurking in some dark wet alley. This is the WIP of them: Cheers! Very cool concept! The only thing I liked about that movie was the badguy... Are you going to draw an anti-guild graffiti on that wall behind them? Btw... now saying that, I see someone somewhere is going to paint/convert them to look like droogs from Clockwork Orange.
