Drivebybaptism Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Been a Dark Angel fan for a long time and have steadily grew a sizeable amount of Space Marines since I got back into the hobby a few years ago. My first batch of Dark Angels were painted rather badly and I never really liked them. So with a new year I plan on re-doing all of my Dark Angels that I currently have to get a field able army out of them by the tears end. So onto what I have: Command Squad 5 Man Dev Squad 5 Man Dev Squad Tac Squad Tac Squad Tac Squad Scouts (about 9 or so) 3 Dreadnoughts 11 Terminators 10 Space Hulk Terminators Librarian in Terminator Armour (Space Hulk) Terminator Captain Ravenwing (about 2 or 3 bikes, mainly to experiment final Ravenwing Scheme) I also have a warhound titan I'll be working on as well. So far I have managed to complete 4 of the Terminators. Sorry for pics, my phone isn't the greatest camera and I don't have access to a digicam...yet http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/IMG_0128.jpg http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/IMG_0122.jpg http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/IMG_0127.jpg I have also began work on the Liberian http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/IMG_0126.jpg With the Deathwing, how ever, I found the way in which I did the armour on this lot too a long time to complete and I would lose interest fast. With that in mind I tried something new focusing on using washes to achieve great effects and with a minimal amount of colours/blending needed. Both ways I like, and I would like your input as to which you prefer (new way on left) http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/IMG_0142.jpg http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/IMG_0143.jpg New style is a lot darker/gritter than the old way and, I believe, gives the model a more "in the field" look. As opposed to straight out of the factory. Anyway, comments and crit are always appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acaeleus4 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Welcome back to the first legion! Your new style is really interesting, it has an almost artful look to it. Keep up the good work and can't wait to see more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EPK Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Looking good! Was Dezartfox an inspiration for your new style? He has a very similar technique (you can see his stuff at The Vanus Temple or around B&C of course). I've always liked the gritty style, though I've never tried it myself.

ODM Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I really like the painterly style. Appeals to my old art school sensibilities. Very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brom MKIV Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Nice paint job man! I am really a fan of the gritty look. In fact I have a similar painting style myself and currently have a Deathwing wip thread in the painting section. Anywho keep those pics coming :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drivebybaptism Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 Ok. Been busy painting more termies (thank you new update!) And have managed to fully complete 2 of the termies I'm testing out my new deathwing recipe on. Here is my favourite miniature completed so far. http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/100_1281.jpg Comparision between old recipe and new one. The new one actually takes about the same amount of layers/time to do the armour as I'm now thining my paint a hell of a lot more (you can probably tell that in this pic) http://i678.photobucket.com/albums/vv150/Sean_Art/Deathwing/100_1284.jpg So what do you guys think? I've got one more model completed besides that one and will take a group shot of everything so far in day or two (borrowed mrs camera!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaplain Lucifer Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 Truthfully despite both having good looks I prefer the style on the left because it's more bone white, the new style looks too much brown IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brom MKIV Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 I am really liking your painting style! The new model is still a hair too brown IMO, maybe carry the highlights one step further. I can definately tell youve thinned your paints more though, something I have just recently started doing myself :P Keep up the nice work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
