Bloodstone Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 decided to paint up a Marneus Calgar model to be my counts as Calgar. I call him the Twilight Immortal, Chosen who are given the honour of donning the armor of the Immortal Eye as his avatar. http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2010/087/d/7/Twilight_Immortal_by_raveka.jpg View more of my other works on my dA - http://raveka.deviantart.com/ CnC are welcome.

The Damned Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I really like the gore effect you produced on the fist! Soupy. I see that there is some sculpting going on over the face, but i can't tell what its supposed to be. can you elaborate I hope the bloody carnage you've got in this mini carries throught too the rest of the army.

Thanks. The helmet was sculpted to have a visor over his face similar to those medieval helmets that merely had a faceplate with several holes to see through. Then i added some embossing here and there on the helmet as well, no major sculpting was done to preserve the original beauty of the model itself. i just didnt like calgar's ugly face.

MattCrawford Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I have a sneaking suspicion that the work of Tzeentch is at hand with that face! :blush: Joking aside, the model is well painted, though I guess you could do to thin your paints and clean up the blotchy areas. Nice gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloodstone Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 thanks for the CnC everyone. very much appreciated. MattCrawford: The blotchy areas are the result of using ink instead of the new wash i usually use...i used up all of my washes and only had a bottle of black ink on hand at the time for shading, so i just took the risk instead. Retributis & lunchb0x: As i mentioned, the helmet is supposed to look like a helmet of old knights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 I read that but... it doesn't, at least not in the shot where it's visible. It look like a gold blob with 2 holes in it and then some other stuff around it :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloodstone Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 The model is looking to its left. While i took the picture of it squarely to the front. The helmet looks a bit like those belonging to the Eva 02 unit from Neon Genesis Evangelion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 Try taking a front on shot of the helm, might show it better :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jlmb_123 Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I think the head needs filing back a bit, or the mask needs extending over more of the face. It sort of reminds me of Ernie. Did you varnish the model with matt or the shiny kind? It's just that some parts look smooth, and others quite grainy, and I think it kind of detracts from the nice paint scheme.

Terrible_Trygon Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 His helmet makes no sense. It is like he has had a golden turd and slipper welded to an mk 7 helmet. I might be coming across as harsh here, but this is my dead honest opinion. Next time you should refer to some reference material for helmet design.

Gloss varnish, graininess and smoothness on different areas is from the photoshopping to auto level the light and sharpen detail in the shot.
