Crovan Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Well, a thread in the DA and the Deathwing's first outing (and win) today prompted me to do something other than the Terminator Captain model for old B. Also, I like to do an HQ or other suitable centerpiece model to get me excited about doing the rest of the army, so some kitbashing and amateur GSing later, I give you my interpretation of Belial. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f204/Crovan/IMG_0024.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f204/Crovan/IMG_0027.jpg http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f204/Crovan/IMG_0028.jpg I know the tabard needs work. I'm retouching it as this posts, but I wanted to get thoughts on him. Too busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Captain Sharp Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 I like him. The bitz you picked go well together, and I don't think he's too busy. My biggest problem with him is the tabard. I don't want to be too harsh, but it's going to take more than a little work to get that to look like a piece of cloth, especially if it's dried. I would look at GW examples of tabards and how they lay, especially the folds and ripples through them. I'd try some smaller scale GS work, also before you get into a tabard. My first GS was a hood, and just by doing that I was able to learn a lot about how to tease GS into realistic folds. Here's a great GS tutorial for robes and hood (perfect for DA) :o: http://www.coolminiornot.com/article/aid/336 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crovan Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Thanks for the link! I'm in the process of re-working the tabard, and I think it's looking better, already. What are the thoughts on adding a cloak from the White Lion chariot guys from the High Elves? I think I want some kind of cloak/cape, and I happen to have one of those lying around. Would it look weird to have a fur cloak on him? I mean, the lion iconography would be ok, I think, but I'm just not sure how it will impact the total feel, and painting it against a bone colored terminator may be hard. Thoughts?
