Rogue Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Hello Lots of lurk, not much post (etc, etc) I'm going for a vindicator as my effort in the LPC, so as a bit of a tester, I'm throwing up a very early picture. Yes, it's a pants photo, and yes it's not very exciting yet, but for now, if you can see the photo, it's a success. And there we go.

Rogue Posted January 24, 2010 Author Share Posted January 24, 2010 Ok, first update: the base colours are on. There's a lot of dry-brushing to come... And if anyone knows a good way of doing the headlamps (mostly the colour for the lamp/light itself), I'd like to hear it - badmoon yellow looks very cartoon artificial.

Capt. Lysander Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Very nice base colours, extremely clean and neat. Looking forward to more :sweat: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190557-sons-of-medusa-lpc-wip/#findComment-2267773 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Cheers! And as if by magic... Two layers of dry-brush on the green, and a slightly improved grasp of the camera functions. And some scratches on the lens. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/190557-sons-of-medusa-lpc-wip/#findComment-2269869 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingDeth Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Very neat, very smooth. So far so good! And if anyone knows a good way of doing the headlamps (mostly the colour for the lamp/light itself), I'd like to hear it - badmoon yellow looks very cartoon artificial. I usually go with bleached bone blended to bad moon yellow on the very edges, with a little bit of straight skull white in the middle. Probably not the best way to do it, but it's worked alright for me so far.

Capt. Lysander Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Brilliant painting! The building up from the base colours are excellent: I really like the finished green.

Rogue Posted February 7, 2010 Author Share Posted February 7, 2010 It's the weekend, so that means spare time and messing about with cameras again... It's close to being finished - the black is done, as is the eagle and scrollwork, and tracks and barrels, and the purple cables on top. I'm inclined to reinforced the lettering as it seems very pale against the scroll (it says 'Jericho' in black letter font), and the headlamps need finishing (thanks for the bleached bone tip, CardinalVirtue, liking it). Thanks for all the comments - I've not done a wip before, and it's both motivating and encouraging that you guys take the time to post something. Cheers.

Capt. Lysander Posted February 9, 2010 Share Posted February 9, 2010 No problem :lol:. I really like the yellow gold, and your etching upon the inscription. What did you use for that?

Rogue Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Chaos Black and a fine detail brush. The golden effect must be something of a camera trick, as it's snakebite leather, drybrushed with bubonic brown and then bleached bone. The slight shine probably comes from having the light source too near!

Rogue Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 Hello It's finished! Hurrah! There's a set of my usual odd-angled photos over in the hall of honour, which should be linked to here. Thanks for the feedback, it's been great.
