bevulf Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 Yes it is one of the censers ;) I love banners and all my characters from DV will have them. Seraphicus should be fully painted in a few days :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Ok guys below is my take on Chaplain Seraphicus: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01chap.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/02chap.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/03chap.jpg Seraphicus leading some of the Unforgiven: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/03chapall.jpg Where were I ?

The Shadow Guard Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Absolutely amazing work.... looks fabulous with the attached squad.... One thing though.... the more I look at Seraphicus the more I am convinced that robes and cloaks do not mixed.... I think the interrogator Chaplain would have been even more dynamic had he not had a cloak.... But that doesn't detract from the usual stupendous quality of your painting!!! :( SG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 :o This is very inspiring stuff bevulf - and you're pretty fast at it too! In fact you manage to make Seraphicus more gritty and evil-looking than the GW version... :tu: Say, I think I've asked you before, what's the background? I really want to up the quality of my pictures and put some decent background and yours looks ideal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xnickbaranx Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Gorgeous work. This was my first time checking this thread and I ended up looking at 7 pages of it. I would have scoured every photo if I didn't have stuff I need to do away from the computer. I can't wait to go back and check more of your work!

Cactus Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 You know, the talent on display in this forum is causing me to run out of adjectives! Seraphicus looks brilliant bevulf, particularly the muted reds. Like a velvet rope protecting something precious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isiah Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Awesome sauce. Seraphicus is outstanding and his banner and robe lining's decorative border should win some kind of prize *hands over five Internetz cookies to bevulf*, there.

EPK Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 That's it, I quit. You win the internet. :D Seriously, that's great work, as always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Blaire Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Oh come on... You can do better. :D Just kidding! He looks fantastic and all of your stuff is fitting together so well, the color balancing between the units is awesome, the pieces of your army just seem to flow together despite being three different "main" colors. Awesome work, bevulf! Nothing negative to say or suggestions to offer, except that now you're going to have to start making your weapons have OSL or something. ;) They are just awesome and you are so good at blending paints I bet yours would turn out very nice. What color did you use to edge highlight the black armor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Very nice as always Master Bevulf. Share your cookies, they sound yum. :D s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Words fail me, just stunned by the quality of work you've done. Thank you for posting, this is a real inspiration to those of us looking to improve. Would you be able to share any tips on how you've done the freehand on the banners?

bevulf Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 @Zepyrous/xnickbaranx/Cactus/EPK - I know that I am repeating myself now but thank you for your kind words - I appreciate the fact that you find inspiration here - it is the greatest reward for me if I can say that... @The Shadow Guard - I know what you mean - I too dislike cloaks - when I first saw Seraphicus I didn't like him. I thought that the cloak was an unnecessary addition. Only after receiving him I changed my mind. I also didn't like the purple inner painting of his cloak so I changed mine to bone colour. @Bryan - I have never painted OSL so I don't know if I would be able to do so. Maybe I will try painitng this way in the future but no plans for now. The edges of the armour were painted in two stpes. First highlight of mix of Astronomicon Grey/Chaos Black in ratio 1:1. Second highlight of pure Astronomicon Grey. @Isiah - cookies are delicious thank you :P @Stobz - please take as many as you wish - they are truly yummy ;) @Louis - I have all Dark Angels codexes that were ever released (starting from the 2nd edition), as well as other space marine books in which I seek patterns/appropiate insignia etc. for my banners. When I decide on the whole look of the banner I paint first the guide lines on the banner to see if image fits on the whole surface. Then I carefully paint all the details starting from the parts that are the biggest (in case of Seraphicus it was: green angel/bone parts/sword/wings/parchment) You need very small brushes for this :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 @Cpt Semper - I forgot to add - I use backgrounds from Corvus's Blog: http://corvusminiatures.blogspot.com/2010/...-miniature.html Great inspiration there ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Semper Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thx bevulf! looks like there is choice too! :P Keep delivering your super models - we can't get enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillyfish Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Don't take this the worng way, but you are a complete git! :P I take tree times as long to produce a miniature not even half as good!! :tu: Out of interest, how do you do your bases? That's an area I haven't really got into doing before now and I'd like to start learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 :lol: :D thanks Gilly :D :D I do my bases from the following: - cork (cut in different shapes) - some gravel - sand I glue cork first, then gravel and sand :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shabbadoo Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Hmmm. I am undecided. I think you will need to paint everything else Dark Angels from DV so that we have more stuff to look at for comparison purposes. :lol: :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I surely will :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LokisSword Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 bevulf: I'm really loving your take on that model and as honoured brother Isiah said, the added freehand on the robes really gives him a little extra visual sparkle. I'm really digging the muted tones you've used throughout the army - really beautiful. +1! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain sox Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Absolutely stunning work! This is most excellent and inspiring. You should be truly proud of your works. Your talent is top-notch. Thanks for sharing this with us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thank you guys ! @LokisSword - I am not quite sure of which freehand on the robes you are speaking of - in fact there is none - those are already sculpted on the robes - the only freehand I added is on the banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
