Liltom Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Your work is still very, very untidy. The creative side of it, and the ambition of the conversion, is good. However, without taking more time on these models, they will always look messy. You need to paint slower, and go over things enough times that the paint doesn't show through. Also, the green stuff work needs to be tidied up alot. Tighter definition, through use of a sculpting tool or scalpel, and less finger prints will improve the models alot.

Terminatorinhell Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 if you see blue spots it was part of a failed granite attempt at his armour and i do realize that the GS work is bad, i may fix that tonight, the paint's flaws are HUGELY exaggerated by the flash :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's a nice idea, I've seen your models before, and there are some things you need to do to improve them. - Use a wet sculpting tool. You don't even have to buy one, use stuff around the house. I use my craft knife (But make sure to clean the blade afterwards). It has to be wet, otherwise it will stick. - Take time. Don't do all the green stuff and gluing in one night. Do the green stuff on the individual parts before you glue it together. Get a proper undercoat on the model. Thin your paints. Use a smaller brush. - Remove the mould lines. - Use less sharp highlights. The ones I see are very sharp. Instead of jumping straight to that colour go through colours and get to it gradually. There should be at least 5 highlights on a model (Especially your Chapter Master (I think he was anyway :P):(). On black they should be very subtle, it's a more difficult colour to highlight that others. I'd suggest using black as a basecoat before going to 1 part codex grey 3 parts black, 1 part codex grey 2 parts black, 1 part codex grey 1 part black, 2 parts codex grey 1 park black. Just giving you some helpful pointers. If you need to practice do so on a normal marine. Don't convert it or give it a fancy base, just paint up a normal marine as best as you can. Follow all the points people give you and you'll get really good, really quickly. :) If you do practice, post up the pictures (or send it to me :)). Hope this helps, see you around Snozz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshall Egregorius Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 seriously untidy man. great spirit for modeling...the paint is really messy. water down paints by using a eye dropper filled with waterm and mixing the drop of water with paint, take your time on eash step, take attention to everything. it may seem like a bothersome waste of time, but if you do it, it will improve the painting tremendously. right now there are glaringly obvious deficiency's with the painting, but the modeling, aside from a few minor greenstuff mess-ups, is all and well........awesome. this is meant as constructive crit, nothing more.

Draigo Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I like the pose, it's cool I can totally tell he's giving insperational words to his men. Die for the Emperor and all that jazz :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HJL Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 ive looked at a lot of your work thats been posted on here, your modeling is great and puts mine to shame, but for the love of god man, spend as long on the painting as you do on the rest of the mini and it will look great!

Terminatorinhell Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 yes sir i will but i just seem to be bad at painting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Commander Macarian Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I'd say go to your local games workshop, ask a staff member if he has an hour or two to spare and ask him to sit down with you and teach how to paint. the GW staff is allways very helpfull and after a session you really have the basics down and then you can paint :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atilak Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 You make good conversion but you made it look somehow wierd. Try to take some advices ppl gave to you.. They are great..
