Traitor in Jeans Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Here is the first terminator I've ever painted and the first for my Death Eagle army. Please keep in mind that I am only 14 so don't be too harsh (unless you really want to ;) ) So tell me what you think, TiJ http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/3959/terminator1001copyhp8.jpg http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/4799/terminator1002copyxz3.jpg http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/5465/terminator1003copyxa6.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liltom Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Looks awesome! You are clearly very skilled for someone of your age, and can paint a great deal better than I! Regardless, I am going to do my best to inflict some advice on you. In one or two places, the white looks a little... lumpy. It hardly notices, but I can just about see it. Also, the aquila on the shoulder pad, although very impressive, could do with a little work as to the symmetry from what I can see. Very well done, I am impressed.

grusmock Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I dont think age matters as much as how long you've been painting. Wow he looks great (I love the head) good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Donute Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Perhaps some close-ups of the face, which looks very good from the view we have! the purple is very rich, and the gold is well executed ;) . The paint does look a bit thick, I would defenitely recommend thinning it. White is a very difficult color to paint, and its one I certainly can't paint to any degree of decency, but it appears you've got it down! ah yes, the freehand on the shoulderpad is great, but perhaps touch up the checkered rear with some purple to straighten up those edges ;) . overall a very good job, I just have to ask though if this is a wip, otherwise this should probably go in the hall of honor ;) .

wiplash Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 he certainly is HENCH! I LIKE THE AQUILA AND THE FACE BUT SOME CLOSEUPS WOULD BE AUSOME CONGRATS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiltedMarine Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 What Lord Donute said! I like the effects on the face; gives him a rough and ready look that contrasts strongly with the sharp colors of the armor. I would also recommend trying a narrower highlight in a brighter, sharper color on the purple, but that's more a matter of taste than necessity. White is tough to work with; you've done well here.

Doghouse Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Very good, the positioning is really nice and the paint job is really well done. The face is an excellent contrasting point to the bright armour. Nice! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of the Emperor Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hey, I'm 19 and if I could paint faces half as well as you, I'd be happy. It's crisp and clean, though as stated, the paint looks a tad thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seva Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I think you are well on your way to being a very good painter. Just keep practicing. Your terminator right now looks pretty good in my opinion. Keep up the good work my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbynz Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 beautiful work and for a 14 yr old superb, dont ever put the brushes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traitor in Jeans Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 @wiplash - I will get closeups on the face very soon.My cameras just charging at the moment :D @ all those people who told me about thinning paints all I can say is I'm working on it but it's gradually becoming a habit so expect it to get smoother as time goes by. @emi - I've been painting since I was 11 but I've got a natural skill at art (a lot of practising in reality) but my painting has come a long way in 3 years and I hope it doesn't stop ;) Thanks for anyone who comented on the contrast of the face with the armour ;) I was really trying to go for that look. I wanted him to look almost sweaty and grimey. @Kurgan - I did 3? sorry anyway @Hubbynz - I intend not to :P Thanks for all the feedback ;) TiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcolt Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I just posted on your profile about this and then noticed there was a thread ;) Did you ever get round to close ups of the face? I take it its also a standard assault termie face as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorns Padawan Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 1. dude the title of the thread cracked me up! 2. a fellow devonian!!!!! 3. im twice your age and can't paint half as good! love your free hand aquilla! i think a darker purple would look better and make the gold stand out more but thats just my personal opinion. just think how good you will be in three yeras time if you have come as far as you say! keep up the great work, look forward to seeing more!

Lamenter Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 This is really good work, especially for your age (and your painting can only improve with age :tu: ) If I had to be picky I'd say - "isn't the colour scheme supposed to be quartered?" Or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkling Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Between the awesome face and the posing, this is a very characterful model in my eyes, I like it a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traitor in Jeans Posted August 17, 2008 Author Share Posted August 17, 2008 :) Thanks for the rather belated replies, I am sad to say that there will be no close-ups but I am also pleased to say that I turned 15 on the 13th. To mark that milestone I'm starting afresh, PROPER ACTION AND <DELETED BY THE INQUISITION>, by keeping every piece of hobby work I do at the best of my abilities. What will this involve you ask, well.... I am starting a chaos army, using 50 quid of my birthday money. Along with this I will also buy everything else I need to make the process as easy and as optimum as possible to keep updates frequent and consistent in their quality. Until then, TiJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted August 18, 2008 Share Posted August 18, 2008 For 15 frankly that is amazing, you're a far better painter than I am, and I've been painting for ten years longer than you! Look forward to seeing the new army when it goes up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blindhammer Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 Kudos for using the original white & purple scheme rather than the black one they came out with. Termie looks good, especially the stubble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
