Twin .44 Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 not bad for a custom shot. but then again not the greatest ever. Your paint seemed to be a little thick which threw it off to me. you may want to consider thinning them down a bit. the mantle is actually pretty cool though.

The Drake of Nocturne Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Yea I know the paint is kinda think :D It took agaes to get the conversion done (coteaz's pelt at the top of his cape took ages to file down!) so I just wanted to get the paint job done and rushed a bit. The Scale cape was made Cardboard from a cereal box :blush: And also please coment too too harshly because im only 11 B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drudge Dreadnought Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Considering your situation, its a good job and a good start. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurasuke Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 I like the cloak, but your paint is way too thick. His chest eagle is also a little chunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 thinning paints is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verpine Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Really nice conversion! The spear thingy ( i forgot the name ) has nice blending and the base is pretty cool. The metal cross thing hanging by his loincloth has a really nice gem in the middle. The cape thing is pretty awesome. It must be said though, the paint is thick.

tiny sam Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 it's actually way better than my first conversion :lol: I Realy like the cape, i'm actualy plannig something like that for a dreadnought's robe (yeah my dreads have robes) to give it a scale mail look.

The Drake of Nocturne Posted July 23, 2009 Author Share Posted July 23, 2009 Thanks for all these comment ;) He does, belive it or not, look better in real life :devil: The chest eagle I sculpted as a first atempt I thought wasnt terrible but still could have work done it. and yeah as i said and admitted before the paint is too thick. I am quite pleased with my sculpting on the the two salamander heads (1 on knee and other on shoulder) and the flame on his shoulder. Please keep the comments coming- I need the advice :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Tuditanus Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Considering the age and that I'll also assume you're relatively new, not a bad job. Thin your paints just a bit more and try to watch paint getting into other areas/recesses. Pictures, for me, always point out areas I missed. Keep it up.

lord gunthar Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 i was going to say its pretty bad but your 11 !!!!!!! thats amazing for an 11 year old ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyriel Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 First look and I thought it looks butt ugly since I have a habit of comparing works with my own stuff but after a second closer look I realised that its not much worse then my very first painted marine and the more I look at it the more I see things in it that surprise me. Finally I must admit that for a 11 year old the mini is extremely well painted, sure you have a long way to go but learning is fun and my gut feeling tells me you have tons of hidden talent just waiting to come out and I paint pretty well myself so I´m not taking this out from thin air. I seriously think that with practice you are going to be a golden daemon painter with time! Things to think about: Thin down the paint, not much but still. Practice highliting. Find a mini online that you really like and just sit down and try to copy it and paint one of your own as carefully and close to the original as possible, this is a great way to be better really fast. Look forward to seeing some progress dude, keep it up! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Drake of Nocturne Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Thank you again -esspecialy to Pyriel for that great tip (must try that sometime with my new land raider!). Is there any vallejo paint for green I should get because I keep hearing wonders about how smooth it is which is what I find good in a paint. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyriel Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Youre welcome dude:) The vallejo equivalent of snot is called sick green. But to be honest I dont notice much difference although I like the vallejo bottles much more, when they get empty I transfer my GW colours to them.

eyescrossed Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 This is great for an 11 year old! Things I painted 3 years ago (when I was your age) didn't look anything like this. Good job B) Like what other people said, watering down paints is good, and practice practice practice! I'm just lucky that I have OCD - makes the final product of painting a Monstrous Creature all the better, as it normally takes me months to finish them (stupid attention to detail).
