major buzzmore Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Looking good ! The colours seem to work well, my only ;grioe' would be that the miniature as a whole does not 'leap out' at me, perhaps a strong contrasting colour is needed ? Perhaps on the base rather than the model were you the guy in the Tunbridge Wells GW !!

nurglespuss Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Not the Tunbridge Wells Strangler?! :ph34r: I think, if it were possible, I would brighten the purple, to better contrast with the bright blue, and paint the stretched skin on the back pack in a bright flesh tone.... But those are just some suggestions, its a great looking model. Oh looking at the base and the whip: Base, a very light drybrush of rotting flesh would make it look even more 3D, plus a very light wash of a brown. Whip: this really needs to stand out, so I would suggest, add some more lighter highlights to the thip, and applying a few glazes of purple (light) with a little gloss varnish added. Anyway, I hope that helps!! and I hope you have a great time!!

nurglespuss Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 ah yes! the whole thing is looking much more balanced now, th whip is especially good :> any chance of a photo without flash? I find the best place for that (at this time of night) is in the kitchen, where hopefuly a pale melamine worktop is available, or a chopping board, along with white background, this bright room is pretty good for photos... But I'm very happy with the difference before/after, great work!!
