Alxin Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I have finished work on this miniature for a long time. And even has had time to participate in one competition with it, however the librarian was not entered in a competition theme. ;) On this miniature I have tried to use radical system of shading. Not a black paint, but a red. Estimate my work please. Comments are welcomed as always. http://www.coolminiornot.com/pics/pics13/img4921bde08e21b.jpg Link for voting (I hope that placing of this link does not break rules of this forum.) Regards, Alexey.

Bloodstone Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I would've given u something like 9.9 out of 10. but what makes me take that 0.1 away is because you forgot to drill the barrel for the plasma part of the gun :\ Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/152785-librarian-from-ultramarine-chapter/#findComment-1779911 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaaish Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 I think it works to a degree, but red isn't a natural shadow color. True shadows are more bluish than black and definitely not usually red. I see that you painted a lens on the plasma gun, but wouldn't that be problematic since plasma is more of a superheated gas than a light energy?

lmyrick Posted November 21, 2008 Share Posted November 21, 2008 Masterfully painted. I have to agree with the earlier poster, I'm not too keen on the red as the shadow color, which turns it too purple I think. It's still beautifully done, just don't care for the red.

Alxin Posted November 21, 2008 Author Share Posted November 21, 2008 True shadows are more bluish than black and definitely not usually red. It`s true..

JetfireUK Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I'm being deliberatly picky as I think that you're looking for critical feedback - this is a compliment as the work you've produced here is of a very high standard. The colours are very nicely blended but comparing the front robes to those on the back, the rear robes look unfinished in comparison. The NMM steel/metal looks lovely and looks more realistic than the gold on the shoulderpad rim. The red on the wires on the power weapon also look a little flat. Like I said earlier - I'm being incredibly picky as you have a lot of potential and it's easy for me to see this piece fresh and spot things than you who spent a long time painting this. This isn't to take away anything from your work here as I wouldn't be able to produce something of this standard. Overall I'd give this a solid 8.5 out of ten.
