Iacton Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Thanks Gumba :P As a non-gamer it gives me much greater scope just to paint whatever I fancy, and just lately I've not followed any themes at all! Perhaps Chaos is claiming my soul... Well, he's done. I still want to get some light tent shots of him for the HoH, but here's a few shots. http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/Iacton/Khorne%20Champion/1stfinished.jpg http://i247.photobucket.com/albums/gg148/Iacton/Khorne%20Champion/HeadDetail.jpg Enjoy and all C&C most welcome.

wiplash Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 OMG the weathering on that is particularly realistic not that the rest isnt it is overall pure intenseness :o Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160668-pimp-my-berserker/page/2/#findComment-1904152 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunchBox Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Great looking mini...the rich, but subdued colors are nice. I especially like all the time you put into shading to create shape...instead of the rush to highlight that so many of us are guilty of.

Freakiq Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Looks badass, the gold is especially great. I love that head, if only GW could sell it separate, I'd buy a dozen.

I especially like all the time you put into shading to create shape...instead of the rush to highlight that so many of us are guilty of. I don't think that you have anything within your style to feel guilty about... Well except for the whole having too any demons thing :P :) I appreciate the input, I'm settling into a slightly darker, less saturated colour preference and it seems to suit my style, so I'll keep working at it. I now hate the base on this guy, but I enjoyed painting the model and put a few personal demons, with regards to NMM and particularly handling reds, to bed. Onwards and upwards... @wiplash - thanks mate, I'm glad that you like the final model ;) @Freakiq - Thanks, the head is a really great little sculpt for this model and gives him so much character. I'm just surprised that no-one seems to have used it before, because it's a cracking little part. @Mithril - hehe! Before and after... :D This one must be a friend of Br. Alas! cos Alas! has a bionic leg, but they do stand next to each other on the shelf at home (taunting Br. Duncan the Imperial Banana ;) ) PS Cmon voting link - Linky Thanks chaps!

GumbaFish Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 This a bit of a random question but I think you mentioned a light tent or photo cube earlier. Is this just the popup kind you can find somewhere such as ebay, I have been thinking of getting one as I find taking pictures in my current appartment rather hard and a solution that is easy to store would certainly be welcome. Also would you say it makes taking photos a much easier process, especially on colors such as red which I find quite tricky to capture currently.

Iacton Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Gumba - The light tent helps a bit, but a couple of good lamps, or more particularly bulbs with a piece of paper does a good job too. I would recommend a tripod or a camera stand, though. Then I use irfanview and GIMP to cut the pics up and join together and then get the colour balance and image size sorted. It takes a bit of practice, and my camera-fu is full of fail, but it's worth it to make the pictures more presentable.

GumbaFish Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Yeah I used to have more space for some lamps but now I am a bit more crowded so I will search and see if I cant find some smaller desk lamps I can keep around for picture taking. I will have to look into a tripod though, then I guess I could set longer exposure times and that in itself might help. Most of my minis are greyish so untill I started painting some brighter colors I never noticed how fiddly they can be Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/160668-pimp-my-berserker/page/2/#findComment-1905606 Share on other sites More sharing options...
white_charisma Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 The NMM works is great, beserkers defintely need some...no lots of blood on their weapons. And maybe some mud or dirt stains on the greaves. Coming along beautifully.
