Lestat Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 That is one very well painted model! Loved the way the eyes glow like that and the detail on the tactical markings is great. Although it's a very darkly painted model, the use of the occasional splash of colour really brings it to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 oh wicked!! how do you do the glowing eyes effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 The paintjob is excellent! Really well done. But that pose just looks strange to me. It drags an otherwise awesome model down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grim0thy Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 That's a really good mini, however I think the glow for the eyes is a bit too strong. In my opinion I think it should be a little more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terminatorinhell Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 what about the sweet red glowing eyes effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FateSealer Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 You are a talented painter that's for sure, the jewel and shoulder details are excellent. However the pose is quite terrible compared to the fantastic paint job from my view. He kind of looks like he's squatting, rather than throwing a grenade.

lmyrick Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Gotta disagree with the others on the pose. I like it. Looks like he just stepped forward with one foot and is about to launch the grenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dempalax Do Kier Posted January 4, 2009 Author Share Posted January 4, 2009 what about the sweet red glowing eyes effect? Try this article http://coolminiornot.com/article/aid/288 it is realy helpful, thou my technique differs a bit this article is all you need to do nice eyes. About the pose: the base is not plain and SM`s shoulderpads make a mission of creating a "grenade throw" pose impossible. Almost. The pose is not standard, but I`ve tried several attempts myself (posing for my wife who was holding a camera :) ) and I say: this pose is sutable for throwing a grenade. If you are the SM with huge shoulderpads and the power of a throw is not a problem, ofcause. Still I understand everyone, who says :cuss about the pose. It is so different from heroic ones typically assosiated with space marines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapter master 454 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 -recovering his jaw from the floor- thats incredible and the 'glowing' eyes (to be precise here) are just master pieces, however the pose at one angle looks like a beginning of a ballet and it looks very, in a sence, lost for momentum of the marine. if you had the feet placed so they were spread out (last time i checked we walk with a feet straight!!! :) ) and maybe if you had made the bolter on a strap so the marine was able to look like he is pulling the pin. however the paint job is great, amazing and anything else i can think of to describe how good it is.

Brother Shrike Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I like everything except the eyes. While they are extremely well painted and perfectly executed for what they are trying to be, in my opinion they are just way too bright. Tone them down a bit, and you have a pretty flawless model. ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
