subtlebrush Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The armour looks good as is. Like you said it might get orange-ish on you. Maybe do a slight highlight to the raised edges. Not too much though. They look fantastic by the way.

Metal Apostle Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Looking good! ^_^ I'd say just do a very minor highlight.. They look pretty solid as is, but a quick one shouldnt hurt. On the point of 'that' cross... maybe try blacklining it with a micron pen? That way you acknowledge that it's there, but it clarifies it to still be red on red rather than the Death Company red on black. Regardless, awesome work so far; watching like a hawk.

Demitra Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Got the first batch done, but not done-done, over the weekend. Eyes, chapter badge transfers, and the odd detail still remain, but they're done enough that I'm moving on to the next batch. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/040finishedgroup.jpg Pictures didn't turn out great unfortunately. I highlighted the black and red, sparingly in both cases, and did some of the little details like ropes and script on the purity seals. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/042morefinisheddetail.jpg This shot in particular shows how the black highlight turned out, and you can get a bit of an idea how the red looks as well. While I kept the highlights spare by design, the natural result is that they don't really show that much unless you're up close and looking for them. I may have to adjust that standard for future models. Overall I'm pleased with how this batch has turned out, now I just need to get cracking on the rest. To that end, I did the red base coat on 2.5 minis on Sunday and plan to do more today. Hopefully I can get the red done up to highlighting today, but we'll see how that goes.

Demitra Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 Wow has it been a while since I updated this thread. Work has progressed, though slowly, since last time. The assault squad is nearing completion. I hope to finish it over the weekend, which will give me two weeks to do the Sanguinary Guard and get jump packs/wings done for everyone as well. A poorish picture of how the assault squad stands: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/group.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218948-demitras-lpc-2011-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-2685420 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted March 12, 2011 Share Posted March 12, 2011 Really liking your somewhat clean style, it's one that seems to be fairly unique. I don't think anything needs to be done to imrpove it, except perhaps blend a little subtler?

Demitra Posted March 13, 2011 Author Share Posted March 13, 2011 Blending is on my list of techniques to learn. I've been easing my way back into hobbying after a hiatus of a few years, and this squad represents my first real attempt to paint to a higher standard. I'm not 100% satisfied, especially considering how long it takes me to finish a model, but I do like the results. It's awfully nice to be looking at someone's gallery and think "Man, if only I could paint like that," then realize that I can and do paint like that.

Demitra Posted March 26, 2011 Author Share Posted March 26, 2011 With the deadline coming up soon, I figured it was time for another update. The assault squad is finished, at least the bodies are. The jump packs are about 50% finished, but are on the shelf for the moment because of the other half of my vow: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/071group.jpg The Guard are coming along well. I have to check to see when the exact deadline is, but I feel better about making the cut than I have in a while. Plus I'm happy with the results, so it's a double win.

Demitra Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Almost done with my vow, and just in time. The Sanguinary Guard have a few outstanding details to be finished, notably the banner, while the assault squad is done. Behold, completion! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/01assault.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218948-demitras-lpc-2011-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-2707791 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitra Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 The guard are all but done, just hopping on the interwebs here to look for a name to put on the banner bearer's shoulder. It's been close, but I'll make it with time to spare.

Demitra Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Victory, it is mine. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/01group.jpg I was particularly pleased with how the banner turned out. Considering I kept it til the last minute and kinda fudged my way along, it came out better than I anticipated. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v314/reverend_bob/LPC%202011/02banner.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/218948-demitras-lpc-2011-wip-thread/page/2/#findComment-2708173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
