LunchBox's WIP's

[Starks333]

a glaze is a noun

 

glazing is a verb

 

two completely different things

a glaze isnt used for this(which is more of a paste, it has more medium in it)

 

glazing and washing are the same thing, thinned paint, just used differently

[Cl4d]

Nvm posted my question on the tutorial post that I saw after.

[LunchBox]

What are washes? ;)

 

I guess essentially the same as glazes but using watered down acrylics (GW paints) instead of dedicated glazes?

 

 

Patrick: I posted a link to a glazing tutorial where I showed the paint straight out of the bottle, thinned to a wash, and thinned to a glaze. There is no precise mixture, but generally washes are watered down less than glazes. Go check it out, and see if that helps.

Excellent work on the chappy! I also have this mini (and it's the very first metal mini that I bought so I even used the also oversized boltpistol right arm :D ) and love it, though would be some time before I get back to him (after doing my version of Lemartes =] )

[LunchBox]

Here's the Chaplain finished. All total it took just over 6 hours. I tried to touch up the stupid "freehand" on the right shoulder, but without stripping the pad and starting over, all I could really do was make it a tiny bit less goofy. I like him though...not bad for speed painting.

the trick to speed painting lunch, is move your brush faster :P

 

hahaha good work, looks pretty good :tu:

[Zealous]

Not bad, but it needs more self-deprecation.

[LunchBox]

Not bad, but it needs more self-deprecation.

 

 

Please explain.

[Inquisitor =D=]

Not bad, but it needs more self-deprecation.

:huh: Research time.... :huh:

 

Self-depreciation (also self-deprecation) is a form of humor in which people or comedians make jokes about themselves, their shortcomings, or their culture, usually without being guided by any underlying self-esteem issues.

 

The boundaries for this kind of humor are often more relaxed than for other kinds of humor. For example, whereas a Jewish joke told by a non-Jew may be considered anti-semitic and offensive, the same joke told by a Jew may be taken in good humor. The ability to laugh at oneself and the absurdities in one's own culture is often considered a good character trait.

 

A chaplain with a sense of humor? That'd be... strange, yet fitting.

 

But what does it have to do with the painting? :huh:

 

=]D[=

 

{The quote is strait out of Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia that has forwarded the general publics knowledge for years. I salute you Wiki!}

[mega_marines]

I honestly have no idea of why it needs self-deprecation, but the idea seems almost funny in a twisted way... Anyways, just like to say the Chaplain is gorgeous. Stunning work, man!

[RagingGriffon]

I think the guy was being sarcastic. As in: The model is absolutely gorgeous, but LB needs to bag on himself some more because he is really his harshest critic.

 

Again, I remember when LB started painting, and I would say he and I were equals. However, and this is to everyone, he just shows how hard work, persistance, research, dedication, and not settling for mediocrity is truly the way to better yourself. Congrats LunchBox.

where is the sword arm from? looks very snazzy

[WingsOfTheFalcon]

Isn't it the one from the Commander box?

[LunchBox]

I have no idea...I'm pretty sure it's a newer release sword (plastic), and I got it in a bitz auction.

 

Falcon...our DIY Chapter symbols are quite close! :)

[Merkava]

Isn't it the one from the Commander box?

It definatly is.

[wiplash]

the command squad or commander? its not the command squad one i know that

[LunchBox]

Well, with the school year cranking up again, I have been busy setting up my classroom, and of course the first week of screwl is brutal...but, I have gotten some painting done.

 

I was burning through this one so fast, I never even took any WIP shots:

[Brother Hedron]

So you're a teacher.. how cool would it have been to have had you when I was a student [ eon's ago ] .

 

So instead of apples on your desk, would OOP mini's have gotten us the same effect, or at least extra credit points?

[Pulse]

Typical yank Hedron always trying to take the easy way out, i blame the poor teaching system getting extra credit points for doing nothing. ;)

 

Great work though Lunchbox mate, awesome, and you said you did that quickly! Shocker. ;)

[wiplash]

wow love the honour guard although if im honest the painting gets progressively worse as you go down the model

but its still sweet

i love the white and the aerial is a wicked idea

[Pulse]

I think the work looks good, can't see it being as bad as wiplash says.

[Starks333]

it could be the photos, it doesnt get worse the colour and lighting just fades thats all

[wiplash]

yeah the legs just seem to almost disappear in shadow

as starks says it may well be the photos

but i think the axe and helmet and backpack are to a higher standard than say the legs, although legs are less detailed i suppose

dont listen to me ramble on to myself im trying to explain myself and its failing lol!!

[LunchBox]

2 things are happening on the legs: One, the lighting was a bit off. I use a combo of natural light and overheads for pics. We were having strange weather, and the lighting was spotty through the clouds and thus through the windows. Second, the mini gets progressively darker as you go from top to bottom. I'm trying to learn to exaggerate my zenithal lighting.

 

I'll have to fix the picture later, it was linked from CMON, but they screwed up the auction part, so I had to delete and repost.

[LunchBox]

Here's some progress on this guy...the left arm is about half way through highlighting, and the shield is 3/4 done:
