LunchBox Posted February 3, 2008 Author Share Posted February 3, 2008 I've been working on non-pa'd stuff for a couple of months, but began work on more Marine stuff last night. There will be pics...oh yes...there will be pics... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/master1-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted February 9, 2008 Author Share Posted February 9, 2008 More progress...I still need to tidy up some spots on the armor, and fix those stupid fingers that look like a 3 year old painted them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/master2wip-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted February 14, 2008 Author Share Posted February 14, 2008 Update: Most of the center mass and armor is done, and the cape is done with the exception of freehand. I like the way the colors turned out on the cape, as I didn't want to go with white, so the light gray (I couldn't help it) was a good match for the PURPLE (lol) armor. The light source is 10 o'clock forward, thus accounting for the start contrast between some of the folds. I actually hung one of my wife's dresses up to where the light was about the same, and studies it for a while. The axe blade is half way done, but it was late when I stopped, so it only has 8-9 coats, with at least that many to go. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v492/lunchboxmtbr/masterwip3-1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LunchBox Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 Looks great Lunchbox, very smooth. What stages did you go through to achive the result on the armour? Thanks! Over the light gray primer, I washed on Reaper Pro Amethyst, the built the colors up with VGC Violet, Ral Partha something or other purple, then GW Foundation Hormogaunt Purple, then a light blueish purple from VMC, and the final edges and sharpest highlights were VGC Ghost Grey. It's about 30-40 layers of glazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor =D= Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wow, I was afraid by the time I got done reading the 12 pages the painting would be over. To start I would like to say that your painting is impressive. (ridiculously so) I'm not sure if its the picture but the light grey you used for the cape seems almost lilac in color. It just strikes me as off... Hopefully your freehand work will save the cape from blending in. And last but not least... The base, he's standing on an i-beam... Albeit dramatic its very out of place with the model. The man is rather large and bulkish but he's standing on a not so stable beam. If you've ever had to work roofing you'd know what I mean. The beam kinda looks like its about to roll backwards on him. I'm not trying to be a kill-joy here, I'm just being honest. =D= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starks I don't understand your first two points... Also, did I go overboard on the purple glazes to the cape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levett Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 I honestly dont feel the mini is ruined at all, but you can definitely see the glazes on the cape, I recently did the same thing on red cloak and it drove me nuts. However use some extensive freehand and it should be covered up. Overall though mate, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 my first two points are simple: those who are educated on something see it before anyone else he had experience standing on i-beams it sounds, while the heavy ones are quite stable, in genereal they appear as a weak shape to be standing on...looks like it should topple over and what i mean is its small details like this that makes a master...just things to think about for the future the cape is fine...most things are lost in photo angles your nmm gold got better on this piece, shoulder pad guard and backback look great, some other things are a bit off but oh well as for freehand, i dont think his cape is well suited for anything fancy, and might be best left alone or with a simple symbol...it will be mostly lost in the folds anyways Starks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the I-beam is ok, as I too have worked in the construction/project management area, and been on hundreds of roofs...although none of them had a scrap I-beam sitting on them :) As for the cape, the only freehand I was planning was a mild edge trim like Chris's slayer sword winner...you know, just a subtle deco-lining near the edges.

Starks333 Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 haha ive stood on them too, they just "look" unstable, unless they are the skinnier less made for holding up buildings kind, which are kinda tippy :( basicly he just means it looks kinda awkward him standing on it like that, and i kinda agree, but its done, so we'll leave it at that the freehand idea is cool, thats all you need, doing more on him wouldnt really fit with the simplified scheme and the shapes of the cape/piece grrrr when will my forgeworld show up!?!?!? i wanna painnnttt themmmmm Starks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angelos Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Excellent stuff there Lunch, just browsed through all the pages I've missed. The master looks very nice, I might have to steal the censer idea, as I was looking for something to put in my model's hand as the giant storm shield is a little to big for me. I also like the demon your painting over on CT, really nice skin work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The incinse <sp> ball thingie was a decoration from the DA kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death given form Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 One thing you might want to consider doing is painting the honor studs on this guys forehead in a different color. I don't know if they are gold, or unpainted, but they really get lost in the flesh tones. Maybe painting them to resemble steel? And a few white highlights on the cery edge of the girder (I realise you are attempting to make it look aged/dirty/gritty) might help it pop. Just my 2 bucks, feel free to ignore me.
