Cpt_Tiberius Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Here is a quick tutorial for painting an eagle head badge. this is the first thing I learned to freehand and it is much easier than it first appears. So without further ado: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Cpt_Tiberius/Consuls_badge.jpg Step 1 - draw a small "C" shape for the inside edge of the beak Step 2 - Outline the rest of the head shape Step 3 - Fill in the base shape with white (or chosen color) Step 4 - Ad the feathers to the back of the head Step 5 - Use Black (or whatever color the pad is) to clean up the shape and sharpen the points on the feathers Step 6 - Add the Eye See? Easy! -T. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138449-painting-how-to-freehand-a-chapter-badge/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Aruis Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 This is great. Do you have any other space marine chapter badge tutorials? You are so easy to follow and are done rather quickly.

Tyrannicide Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 A very clean tutorial indeed, Tiberius. I once was intrigued by the Raptors, I had nearly started an army of them. Thanks anyways, may come in handy in the future.

captain_shrike Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Very helpful. Although for Consuls wouldn't you stop after the third stage?

Cpt_Tiberius Posted June 13, 2008 Author Share Posted June 13, 2008 Very helpful. Although for Consuls wouldn't you stop after the third stage? Depends on what you want the badge to look like. I always added feathers on the back end, but you don't have to. This tutorial is really more to show how to build up a complex shape from simple shapes. That's one of the reasons freehanding seems so daunting to beginners. You just have to learn to pick out the basic shapes. This is great. Do you have any other space marine chapter badge tutorials?You are so easy to follow and are done rather quickly. Not on hand, but I might be able to make more. Any particular chapter you are looking for? -T.

mad_rob Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I wouldnt mind an easy on hand-painting the Ultramaines symbol As when ever I try painting them, even on flat surface, it looks stupid And scuu-wiff Mad Rob Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138449-painting-how-to-freehand-a-chapter-badge/#findComment-1598439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Captain Aruis Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Will I can't find any on Exorcists, Minotaurs, and Relictors. I really wouldn't mind a tutorial on either of them. In fact it would be greatly appreciated. B.C.A.

DarKHaZZ13 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 as many as possible? i find it impossible to freehand even basic shapes... so anything helps ultramarines, iron hands OOoo and just a plain circle lol like this O Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138449-painting-how-to-freehand-a-chapter-badge/#findComment-1598895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain_shrike Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Just realised the black Consul one has the beak shut....its quite different....but still, I'm approaching this in a different way now.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 Actually it should be open. The eagle head with the shut beak came around with the 4th ed. marine codex (this is also when the White Consuls badge was changed from the same screaming eagle head to the screaming hawk head.) It's up to you which one you use... -T.

Cpt Stahl Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Excellent work Cpt Tiberius :devil: This also works for the White Consuls and the Mentor Legion ! Challenge is on, I'll set the Red Talon and Fire Hawks chapter badge Tuto (ok, nobody cares :P ). I'll try the Minautors too. What about making an announcement on the Tutorial board to see if there are more people willing to share their way to make badges ? Cpt Stahl.

Cpt_Tiberius Posted June 18, 2008 Author Share Posted June 18, 2008 Hey guys, I was finally able to get some pictures of my Black Consuls. I thought I would post them here so you can see what the end result can look like. (please be kind as these were painted about 3-4 years ago.. :) ) -T. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Cpt_Tiberius/Black_Consul_assault.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Cpt_Tiberius/consuls-tac2.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v650/Cpt_Tiberius/Consuls_tac1.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138449-painting-how-to-freehand-a-chapter-badge/#findComment-1603174 Share on other sites More sharing options...

spikyjames Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Hi all Sorry I don't have any pictures. Somebody asked how to do a quick ultramarines symbol. 1. Start off with a solid white circle 2. Paint a straight horizontal flat line at the top 3. Now paint a smaller blue circle in the centre of the white one 4. Finally paint a verticle blue line from the top centre of the blue circle outwards Hope that makes sence. When painting chapter symbols try and break down the badge to basic shapes and start from there. cheers James Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138449-painting-how-to-freehand-a-chapter-badge/#findComment-1604169 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got any good advice for painting Panther heads? hi the mentors are all gone to new homes now, i'll be starting a new marine army in august once i've got some commission stuff out of the way. not sure on the panther head, i'm asuming you mean similar to the one in you sig? as i've said it's probably a case of trying to figure out what the basic shapes are and then adding detail from there. it's something i'd have to have a go at before i could give better advice i'm afraid. james Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/138449-painting-how-to-freehand-a-chapter-badge/#findComment-1604227 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically one looking like this: http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f129/Rev...aptersymbol.jpg You can always apply the transfer and then simply paint over it. That eliminates the shinyness of transfers and gives you a precise guide of where to place you paint.

I have not gotten a chance to try it however. I will give it a shot though.
