Razblood Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hi all, Just thought I'd post this as it's the first thing I've finished in quite some time :) I have to say that this is the most fun I've had painting a miniature in some time, although he was a bugger to put together :tu: Also the first time I've used Gesso as an undercoat and I have to say that this is the best primer I have ever encountered and a massive time saver :D Comments and criticism please :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234594-gabe-seth/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Dakath Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Looks pretty awesome, though I would say the lighting is kind of dark and the colors will show up different with more lighting.

Razblood Posted July 21, 2011 Author Share Posted July 21, 2011 As requested here are some daytime pics, btw I just realized that I have given him chibi eyes ;) so I will be fixing this asap. I know the pics aren't great but I only have access to a pretty crap camera, when the girlfriend permits it :) More comments! More criticism!

Razblood Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Wow, 540 views and only one comment!?! Does no-one else have anything to say?

MRCHAOS Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 From what I can see without hurting my eye's it looks rather nice, but the photo's are just too blurry I think for people to comment. Dont get put off by lack of posts either, I only ever get about 5 or 6 myself.

Razblood Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks for the comment :) I know the pics are terrible :P partly cos it's a crap camera and partly cos my hand shakes a bit since I broke my collarbone B) I will try and get some crisper shots up, if I can :lol: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234594-gabe-seth/#findComment-2830094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waka Waka Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I've always liked that model, and I like the deeper shade of red you've gotten with it. Good job! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234594-gabe-seth/#findComment-2830135 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 Thanks Waka Waka :D The red was actually an experiment to see if I could adapt an old technique I've used on an Eldar model I painted for a mate. Every red plate on the model is composed of layers of ink, which gives it a light glossy effect and makes for a VERY rich colour :) Also it's much easier for me than blending and layering paint :devil: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234594-gabe-seth/#findComment-2830461 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 I tried that with an old RT Inquisitor (I used Dark Green Ink, I believe), suffice to say I was gratified it worked. :) Only drawback was it took a bajillion layers to get the green to show strongly over the black undercoat. :devil: Good Seth, btw. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/234594-gabe-seth/#findComment-2830476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razblood Posted July 27, 2011 Author Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks Olisredan ;) I have to admit that I did sort of cheat, I drybrushed Astronomicon Grey over the Black Gesso undercoat ^_^ It helped provide the shadows of the model and meant I had the armour finished after about 4 coats in the order of Magenta Ink, old Red Wash x 2, old Red Wash with a little bit of Yellow Ink mixed in a 2:1 ratio and final lining in with Vallejo Sepia Ink (Which is an absolute miracle worker :P). Made it a lot quicker than if I'd worked up from straight Black.
