Lemainus Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 This picture makes him look way cooler than he does in person. I don't know what the hell happened, but it worked to my benefit. lol http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture014.jpg Posing like a model to combat the enemies of the Imperium with style since... it's... a long time. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture024.jpg His shield is just as big as he is. Standing near Eizen counts as being in cover. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture028.jpg Litanies on his backpack read "stop looking at my butt and kill some xenos. Focus, damn" http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a126/JohnnyK3886/Picture033.jpg Let me know what could be done better! You're all so talented, I can't wait to hear your comments and learn some stuff. Seems everytime I post my work I leave with ten new ideas to test. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKits Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 hmmm not bad :lol: i like th colors on him and his title is very nice :3 *chuckles* though the comment on the purty seal on his back is new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hidje Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 Well, I like the pose, the color sheme is striking and the lightning effect on the hammer also seems quite nice ;) If I have to give some advice on anything, it would be on the metal. On some areas it seems rather patchy, and other parts are rather rough-textured (I guess that is because you drybrushed those?(specifically the backpack :P)). About the patchyness: apply your metalics in many many thin thin layers and after you washed/inked them reapply your metallics. (ofcourse not in the areas you intended to shade) About the rough texture: If it is because of drybrushing it's your choice to stop drybrushing or not :P If it is not, than apply thinner layers :P I hope you can do something with this advice :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemainus Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Yeah, I drybrush my initial layers of boltgun metal overtop the black undercoat - I kinda like the scratchy texture; makes it seem a little battle worn and busted up and just a little dingy. Marines that go into battle and come out spit-shined confuse me. I'll admit that the technique is amateurish, though - do you know a way to keep them roughed-up looking, but with a little more finesse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal van Trapp Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 wow i really like the purple on the armor in that first picture, it looks REALLY good, the highlights and all...

Lemainus Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 So... tips on the weathering of chainmail without drybrushing? Anyone? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal van Trapp Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 hmmm maybe some washes, if you use black ink on the chainmail it should look grimier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Proteus Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hammer time indeed!! Nice, clean job. You could do a black wash, if you want the grittiness, but its not bad! -Proteus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsertCoins Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Good job on the model! The pose is striking and takes up enough room to look commander-like. To rough up metal I apply an Ogryn Flesh or Black wash, then highlight mithril and apply one more shading of Black or Ogryn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll try that as soon as I get a spare few hours to paint :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
