titan136 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I've started on my mephiston model!: http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/meph_wip.jpg I typically don't use white primer as I prefer the naturally created shadows that black primer provides. However, with such a neat model, I had to try my hand at a slightly higher quality of painting. I'm trying to focus more on color theory, lighting and the smaller details. For example, the face was done with several washes of purple and blue to bring out the yellow-y skintone. The inside of the cloak which Ive begun painting is a dark green which I feel will bring out the reds and pinks and yellows of the skintone and armor. the blonde hair was also washed with dark green for contrast. I've also determined my lightsource to be the upper right hand side of the frame and will shade and highlight accordingly instead of just doing random extreme highlights on the armor like i usually do. So far I've spent about 4 hours on the mini. I'm having trouble deciding which color to paint the tubes leading out from his psychic hood. I'm thinking green but I don't want it to overpower the bright reds i'm planning for the armor. any thoughts? here's a closeup of his face http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j232/ultramarines/Blood%20Angels%20Commission/closeup_meph.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135206-mephiston-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolf89 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I'm having trouble deciding which color to paint the tubes leading out from his psychic hood. I'm thinking green but I don't want it to overpower the bright reds i'm planning for the armor. Any updates yet? As for the tubes, I'm planning blues for mine, and I think it would compliment nicely without overpowering the rest. That face is just spectacular by the way, very jealous. :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135206-mephiston-wip/#findComment-1804283 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 speaking of eyebrows... you forgot to paint them on. Looks good otherwise though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135206-mephiston-wip/#findComment-1804351 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiggyStardust Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Nice Mephy. I would also do the tubes blue, when I do my own Mephiston that it's. I'll be watching this. //Ziggy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/135206-mephiston-wip/#findComment-1804374 Share on other sites More sharing options...
