S. Bloodhowl Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 So as you should all know it was Games Day and Golden Demon 2010 here in the UK yesterday (and if you didn't get out of my sight now! ). So I entered this little fella, who is the start of my Fire Hawks. I was going to post him up on Saturday but literally finished him an hour or two before the bus left for Birmingham and so was too busy getting everything sorted. Anyway I'm really pleased with how he has turned out and even though he didn't make the first cut, :jaw: , I wasn't expecting much out of him when I saw my competition (great work if any of you are on here). I really just use GD as a chance to improve my painting anyway. But enough of my babbling, here is Brother-Chaplain Karradin, Keeper of the Righteous Flame* : I'm really pleased with how my freehand has improved, especially on the flames on the legs, and have really improved my blending and highlighting skills, though they are still rudimentary really. Anyway C&C is always welcome and appreciated. PS ignore the hair next to him, its always trying to be noticed. * For those who dont have Imperial Armour 9, the Fire Hawks are a very warrior cultish Chapter and have it as a matter of honour to achieve grand titles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S. Bloodhowl Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Oh come on! 63 views and not even a "Nice try" or anything!?! (I'm not getting angry or anything by the way, i just get irritated when people cant be bothered to say what they think... even though I do it myself sometimes :huh: ... actually just ignore this post it's late and many of us are probably tired ;) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snozz Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Very nice model mate, I really like the flames and the crozius. It's all really good, but if I had to pick one thing to improve, I think the black armour needs more blending. It justs seems like it would benefit greatly from having more layers, and would give a much smoother transition. Â Interesting choice of chapter too, I like it ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxx Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Looks like a LotD Chaplain. And a good looking one at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 One of my favourtie produced models here. Scheme is nice, the flamers are good. Overall black looks a bit... worn in the pictures. And I think the bone can do with some lighter tones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epistolary_Kalphanian Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 If I may offer one point of criticism to an otherwise splendid model- his right power fist is pretty overloaded with gray highlights on the fingers. That's about all. Â Kudos, love the skeletal parts of the armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S. Bloodhowl Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 Cheers guys. It's all apreciated. Â @Snozz: I know what you mean but I found it quite hard given all the vents, I have loads spare for practice though! Â @Hubernator and Epistolary_Kalphanian: I think it just looks worn/overloaded due the the lighting, I tried to keep the black quite dark as I dont like the whole "Look at my glossy black power armour! It in no way makes me stand out on this battlefield!" ;) , but I still tried to blend in some dark greys to suggest light sources. Â Cheers all, I take these tips into consideration for my next project: Finally painting my Space Hulk! Watch this space! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Very nice, really like it overall. Â I'd maybe suggest getting a bit more white into the bottom of the flames to make them look more intense. Â Any chance of a shot of the chapter symbol?

S. Bloodhowl Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 Cheers Falcon, I'll try to get that for you tonight. The flame sare pretty white at the bottom, it just didn't show up as well in the light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
