MassiveHavoc Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 So as the title says this is my Veteran Sargent for my Celestial Lions army I'm slowly building. Don't be afraid to criticize me and to comment, I like feedback it makes me a better painter. http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6458/gedc0163.jpg http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/3718/gedc0164.jpg http://img696.imageshack.us/img696/6020/gedc0165.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188031-celestial-lions-veteren-sargent-wip/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Ravensong Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 The gold is beautiful and the blue is absolutely sexy. Aside from maybe cleaning up the blue on the left shoulder I'd say it's beautiful, and I'd love to see this force when it hits the tables. On a side note, something about the scheme and the chapter makes me want to say "This, is fierce" I dub him... Sgt. Sasha Fierce.

Praesul Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Nice, only thing I don't dig is the blue hand, the PFist is fine but the hand just bugs me. Still, beautifully painted.

Cadarn Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Two by two.... hands of blue... two by two.... hands of blue.... *ahem.* Sorry. I'm with Praesul on the hands. I'm thinking it might be a step too far with the blue. Of course, it still needs to fit with the rest of your army so it will depend on how he looks with his buddies. What did you use on the armour? Is that Bronze? Gold? Washed? Its a really nice brass effect.

CosmicCreations Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I really like the colourscheme! never seen it before, very different well done. I like the blue, although..I dunno...just stands out a bit to me, probably personal taste though. I would probably darken it a tad, not much, just a bit, other than that well done Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188031-celestial-lions-veteren-sargent-wip/#findComment-2225126 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannosaurus Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Really like the colours, the paint looks a little thick to me though. You could try a purple wash on the gold bits too. Just my two bob. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/188031-celestial-lions-veteren-sargent-wip/#findComment-2225202 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaust Mortium Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I like the over-all paint job, but imoo the blue is too bright. Its well done definently, but to me it doesn't fit the color scheme. But excellent job either way.

verpine Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Excellent but the paint is a bit thick. You should probably bring out the green eyes a bit, some scorpion green, perphaps.

MassiveHavoc Posted December 24, 2009 Author Share Posted December 24, 2009 Thank you all for the comments and the suggestions, I appreciate it. As for the scheme the blue is supposed to be that bright, and in fact the bronze is supposed to be brighter. I prefer a dark, dirty look for the bronze though. As for the eyes, I have picked them out. Because of the way the model sits however you have to tilt him back to see it. Cadarn the armor is a basecoat of black, a thinned coat of Brazen brass then a very heavy Badab black wash, followed by two thinned coats of Brazen Brass.

Luku Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Very nice work, I only have one critique, from what I can tell your bone/white colors are a tad thick and lumpy...perhaps try several watered down coats rather then one or two thick ones?
