Garden Ninja Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Well, I got to do a NMM Dante a little while ago. I guess that's all the introduction the chapter master needs these days: http://mediawonder.com/gallery/albums/userpics/bloodangels2.jpg Commentary is always welcome.

infyrana Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Very nicely done, and very subtle. I've spent the last few years around a mini game that's quite reknown for never using metallic paints, so I've been interested in NMM for some time and seen quite a few examples. The one thing I will say is that to make it stand out with that metallic shine, you may need to highlight just another layer or two to get that final white edging or corner tip to make it shine. But in looking over your mini, I can see that you may have chosen to avoid this final touch for some reason. So, in light of that, for what it is it works really well :P Is the axe painted to completion yet ? Unless it's my view on the angle, it looks as if it has a mix of greys and blacks in odd places.

gil galed Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 mmmhm, Dante himself is very handsomely painted, the NMM is done very well, as are the jewels. I think however that the jump pack could use an extra highlight, from this picture the red looks a bit flat (plus i always prefered it painted in gold - be that metallic or NMM - but thats beside the point) bar that looks awesome! i'm not a BA player but if they release a new dante sculpt i'll be buying one :P, infact this painting makes me want to go and try to paint one the same as yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Loring Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I much prefer this result to the majority (if not all) of the metallics I see. Very nice, beautifully executed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titan136 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 fantastic looking dante! the barrel on the meltagun is a bit odd, but i can't fault the rest of the model, its fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 It could be the angle of the picture, but it looks like you put most of your effort into the NMM gold (which turned out great! ^^) and rushed the other colors a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 The NMM gold is great, one of the best Dantes ever. It's highlighted well, and portrays the epitome of NMM colouring :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden Ninja Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Thanks for the comments, and for the criticism. I have some things to keep in mind for the next time I do a mini like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
