smallvictory Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 Decided to try watering my paints down and blending like so many talented painters have suggested and written tutorials about before before I stripped the paint off of my Chaos warband and started over with red or blue. I just couldn't stand the cartoonie yellow bannana look I was getting. Slowly shading with reds then browns made all of the difference, thanks to everyone in the WIP side for the advice, here he is. I really like the dirty feel he has without trying to weather him (weathering looks hard).

Isiah Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Yep the colour looks like it has real 'depth'. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214387-no-more-chaos-bannanas/#findComment-2552837 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 The yellow looks good but I'm curious about this guy's hobbies. Is the marine a botanist or is it to tie in with the yellow "banana" thing you have/had going?

smallvictory Posted November 3, 2010 Author Share Posted November 3, 2010 Ha! Botanist, that cracked me up Zeller, Heru Talon is right in that they are indeed feathers. I had been painting the feathers four different colors in a mixed pattern but decided to try making them one color because I wanted to finish a playable army this year and this was faster. Thanks for all of the kind words everyone, I'm almost done with a Champion, post him tonight.

zeroeightfive Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 yeah those look way more like leaves than feathers. when i first saw him i thought "why does that dude have a palm tree for a backpack" doesnt help that you called them chaos bananas :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214387-no-more-chaos-bannanas/#findComment-2555566 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heru Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Thanks alot guys, now I'm starting to see them as leaves, not acceptable. Must make some sort of a change.......... It's the thread name, and the fact you don't mention the Warband's name or theme.

pattison Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 As someone who is tightly attached to yellow I may say that he's looking really cool! And I also think that those are more like leaves not feathers, but I can live with it, I mean he is chaos or what. Or maybe just deserted from the Adeptus Bothanicus. Great mini!

Zincite Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 Fab miniature, I didn't even notice the 'leaves' until they were pointed out. Could we have a bit of background about your These guys, or a least a name? Looking forward to seeing the next guy B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/214387-no-more-chaos-bannanas/#findComment-2563592 Share on other sites More sharing options...
