JEFF4i Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 What do you guys think? I know he isn't really fluffy, but made as per my wife's instructions, who loves the Salamanders. She partially thinks they are pretty, and partially likes the thought of really big guns melting things. http://i237.photobucket.com/albums/ff178/JEFF4i017/Mini2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151712-my-first-commander/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF4i Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 To clarify, this was my first commander, I've painted many since then. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151712-my-first-commander/#findComment-1765320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstone Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Rather than color pencil-ing your banner, you shouldve printed it out on card paper, bended it a bit to give it a curve wavey look. and then stick to the pole. So it looks nicer. Paints are a tad thick. And the eyes should have been left unpainted methinks. Its better to paint the head a skin tone color and then wash it with Ogryn flesh and highlight with pale skintone and leave the eyesockets as a darkened shade. Looks a lot better than painting it white, messing it, and having the face look like the commander's eyes are popping out after seeing something odiously terrible.

JEFF4i Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Thanks Blood! I hadn't even thought of that for the eyes. The reason the banner is the way it is, is that I actually am all out of ink. :D Only just recently replaced it, so I had to make due.

Captain Mick Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Maybe abit thick paint but i still really like it. Way i like painting flesh is Dwarf Flesh > Devlan Mud > Highlight Dwarf flesh again very easy and effective ;).

Kuchinawa Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Looked good for a first cmdr. Mine was terrible. The eyes are a little...well he seems interested in something, but great job nontheless.

JEFF4i Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 His expression says to me, "Your painting me like this???" Thanks for the comments guys, and a few tips I'll definately try more often. Nearly all my commanders have helmets, except my Space Wolves.

The Emperor's Champion Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Is his skin yellow??? I mean I can understand flesh with normal eyes because jet black with red eyes was unknown til now, but why he looks like a Simpsons character is beyond me. Other than that it looks good.

Other than that it looks good. Nah, bad liting. I put him next to me belly, and they are nearly the same color, he's a bit lighter. :) My Camera-Fu needs a little work too. Then again, I think Lisa would make a killer Sister. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151712-my-first-commander/#findComment-1767731 Share on other sites More sharing options...
