caboosebe Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 To be honest, I don't like the current color scheme of GW for the Emperor's children. So I tried going for a pre-heresy/heresy look with bright colors and purple. I also tried to make the faces more 'Coming-out-of-armor-feel' then the fleshy faces of the preview model of GW. I realise I'm not the greatest painter around, but I'm still pretty happy with the results :P C&C always welcome :) Caboose Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217920-lucius-the-eternal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Paen Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 I like it. I've always considered the EC "pink" as millennia faded purple anyway. Purple is the height of vanity, wear it proudly Children.

tyrannosaurus Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Solid job man, I think the face came out really well, as did the cloth parts. I do think the whip gets lost a little, it would look awesome in a bright green or other bright colour. I've got this model to paint too and I'd be happy if it came out as good as this :eek Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217920-lucius-the-eternal/#findComment-2599701 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagner Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I love that model, love the fluff and the rules. It is a good paintjob well done with the purple, but it isn't quite finished, is it? Cheers, Wagner. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/217920-lucius-the-eternal/#findComment-2599703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
caboosebe Posted December 27, 2010 Author Share Posted December 27, 2010 Thanks for the positive comments. First I painted every 'string' of the whip in an other color, think blue, red, yellow and pink. (very flashy) But it made Lucius look like the drunk son of a Harlequin and a clown on a sunny summerday. I'm still thinking how I should do the whip, maybe blending into an other color starting from the hand to the tip, but I'm still trying to get that technique under control, so the whip will stay for now till I get that right (so I don't mess him up) His base still needs some love too. He isn't glued to it so I still can take him off. I also think I'm going to give his combat drugs some other colors :eek Maybe give the faces a little brighter color, but I'm still not going to make it like the GW example of fleshy faces pasted on his armor. @Wagner, what did you have in mind then?
