Stu Phoenix Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I think I agree with Verpine that you have downplayed your previous model experience a tad as these are very well done ;), only thing I can spot that could use some touch up is the eyes, could use some lighter tones maybe even take it all the way up to white to make the look more glowy rather than solid looking green, other than that they look great, hope to see more soon .

MagicMan Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 These are great for your first work, you must have some talent. Only thing i could really critique (and it may be deliberate weathering) was that the bone looked a little streaky, as if the paints hadn't been watered. But its hard to tell from the slightly blurry picture so i could be wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubernator Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Why do I have a small feeling these are Dezartfox's and not yours? If they are yours, they're very very good. Very... dirty ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 they are extremely impressive for a first finsihed model (regardless of how many little projects you have had) leading to people disbeleiving you. personally i'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say they look gorgeous, makes my 9 year progress on warhammer look a bit shambolic. well done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scathainn Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Why do I have a small feeling these are Dezartfox's and not yours? B) Dezartfox uses different bases ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'm calling bullpoop on this one, no way are they anyone's 'First models ever'. Noone's 'First models ever' use forgeworld shoulderpads, noone's first models even have all the paint in the right places! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rider-75 Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 i have to say i do know an art student who picked up a model to paint (Wood Elf Queen Ariel) cause she fancied a go.... and it damn near put me to shame... her butterfly wings were phenomenal.... however, if these truly are your first models, then you sure as hell have a talent. i've never seen a first time painter go with the whole glowing eyes effect, the weathering, the chipping, the custom bases.....

THE GHOMA Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Why do I have a small feeling these are Dezartfox's and not yours? :P Dezartfox uses different bases ;) "My Client asked me to do the regular textured base and then to build one that was similar to the Space Hulk decking I did once before with my Space Hulk models." I'm calling shenanigans on this. Just look at his terminator. I doubt this is a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Why do I have a small feeling these are Dezartfox's and not yours? Dezartfox uses different bases :D "My Client asked me to do the regular textured base and then to build one that was similar to the Space Hulk decking I did once before with my Space Hulk models." I'm calling shenanigans on this. Just look at his terminator. I doubt this is a coincidence. The two styles are different, so it definetly looks like two different painters (dirtiness and note how the Termi-camera is painted). Though I wouldn't be suprised if one was inspired by the other.

Firepower Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well, whoever painted them knows what he's doing :lol: . Was a bit of a slap in the face opening this thread though: "Oh here we go again, another time around the 'thin your paints, white's a pain, everyone does black and red,' merry-go-round. Well, might as well he....help...the hell?!" My advise is to find someone more qualified to give advise than myself :lol: Those guys are above my caliber.

demio Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Guys and gals heres my painting history as this seems to b the debate now i have been painting for about 8 months now and never COMPLETED A model becausemthey all looked boringand had no character so i did reasearch onpainting tebchniqes all frow this site i actually owe these guys to the peeps who posted the tutorials so ask again ne advice on how to improvem them further would b great cheers for everything all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well you don't really have a reason to lie, so ill assume you're not. I mean who'd lie to gain ''wow nice work'' comments on a website? Haha. Hope you get the whole squad posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingsOfTheFalcon Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 My advice would be to take your request to the coolminiornot forums, they are the kind of guys you need to speak to further to improve above the excellent quality of these models.

Rogan Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I agree with Heru Talon. The two styles are difficult. And it's not just because of the chevrons, but also because of the flow. Dezartfox uses his brush in a completely different style (creating "stripes"), whereas demios style rather is a little less clean (don't take it as an offense; I speak in your favour ^^). Also, just like MagicMan said - what good would it be to be admired for other people's work? I don't think demio's nuts. ^^ Other than that, demio has been trying to fool us. Telling us that these were his first models he ever painted simply is a lie, especially as he admitted he just hadn't completed others. I do, however, think that even a total noob might get results as good as that, just because we've got so many great tutorials and "how tos" in the internet; basically speaking, you can acquire every skill older painters had to learn during the many years they are enjoying this hobby. You can learn - just by reading - which brush should be used in what way, you can learn what effects colours can have and how they are to be mixed, you can learn which areas you have to paint rather careful and on which ones you can more or less slap the paint. The only thing you cannot learn is how to actually weild a brush - but the means people have today (washes!) quite make that up. At least to my mind. Despite being made with less effort and most simple techniques, these miniatures still are nice to look at. And that's just exactly what matters. Thus I say, without further ado: well done. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bulley Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 My friend painted his first model the other day and its at my standard - he's a gfx designer. People forget that artists etc... just "get" colour combinations/how to make good mixes etc.. its part of their talent. Even if its not their proffesion/studies or whatever, just being a good artist will do it, its like painting a picture, but in my eyes easier (I suck at art but can put a good few people to shame with a tank...)

Even if its not their proffesion/studies or whatever, just being a good artist will do it, its like painting a picture, but in my eyes easier (I suck at art but can put a good few people to shame with a tank...) +1. Being an artist myself, that's a somewhat good description of how it is... You know when and why certain colors won't work the way they are and you ten to know what to replace what with what. Also, if you are a dedicated artist, chances are you won't settle for a crappy first model. This may simply be the most extreme example of that that I've seen so far, with numerous test peices building up to one final masterpeice of a first model. The thing is, it's important that he had practice before, so it's not really his first model, more a culmination of his previous efforts into his first completed model.
