Adeptekon 237 Posted September 23 Looks good, but I think it needs some white soon. These are the ghosts right?
Lathe Biosas 1538 Posted September 23 Yeah. It's just not working as I thought it should. I literally copied a couple different Army of the Dead paint schemes, yet none seem to be turning out like I want. 1
kabaakaba 1523 Posted September 23 (edited) What's about using something bluish in between grey seer and white scar? It should create gradient and add some ghosty vide to models. Also your dry brush looks too brutal for my taste. Like, it like you apply white scar in a single pass. And it's looks very rough Edited September 23 by kabaakaba 1
Adeptekon 237 Posted September 23 Yeah get some dark on there first then and later dry brush on the white.
kabaakaba 1523 Posted September 23 Also could you make model with all steps shooted? Right now it's looks like you put too much white and do not think your green contrast
Lathe Biosas 1538 Posted September 24 Okay.... I hit a snag. I spilled Hexwraith Flame on my rug.... contrast paint spreads very quickly. Then after spending way too long trying to get neon green out of a gray rug... I came back to painting. I did a heavy drybrush of White Scar, then added some Nuln Oil to darken the look.
Lathe Biosas 1538 Posted September 24 Ruined the Dwarf... so let's not use him anymore... Added Administratum Grey and another spot of green. Tried to make it look a little less uniform. It's amazing how terrible the flash makes your models look.
Adeptekon 237 Posted September 26 This looked near perfect, looks like some of the later dry brush blended in I think. Quote 1
Lathe Biosas 1538 Posted October 1 I took him to the store and the response was, "Cool Jade Warrior," and "Is he a test model for Cathay? You should do a Terracotta Sentinel like that." Not exactly what I intented. 1
Lathe Biosas 1538 Posted October 2 Probably. I never said I was any good at painting. I have a new idea to test out... maybe on Tuesday. 1

I completely understand, and while it's easy for me to be a backseat painter. I would be tempted to do the same thing. When I first saw slop chop I was like you just need to not think about it. Maybe put on a blindfold like a Jedi and just start swinging. 1
