Asrech Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Wanted to get some more Salamander-style freehands in the army, been painting nothing but skulls recently. So sat down and played around with it a little. Pretty happy with how it turned out in the end, esp since it's a first try at this, and at painting over a broken surface (rather than on a smooth banner/hatch). I will be re-doing the flames, not happy with the ballance between yellow and red. http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0227.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0225.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0226.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0228.jpg C&C appreciated!

Grimdarkness Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Nice the flames are a little lack luster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted October 21, 2011 Author Share Posted October 21, 2011 Thanks brothers! That's the thing, other than some flames, I haven't really done much "Sallie" freehanding! But that will change! And as mentioned the flames on the dragon will be re-done as soon as I have time.

Asrech Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Another night of painting, another dragon on a rhino! http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0235.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0234.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0237.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad224/Ash_Dragons/IMG_0233.jpg Note that the black scales on the belly are just rough lines to show where the scales will be, so they are not done. Will be done in the same style as the first. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Looks great, Alex. You force me to do Wolves on my rhinos. Only problem is that I dont have a clue how to do anything as awesome as this =) - Obben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tellos05 Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Very nice stuff there. The dragon reminds me of the one from dragonball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Wow, thats some good freehand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxmarine Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 You should get a Baal Predetor and have the dragon mouth spouting fire from the end of a flamestorm canon I really like the freehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thanks brothers! Obben, you should try it! I find it usefull to google and find a pic that's close to what I want to use as a reference. For the first time try this: Find one in the right side, put a piece of paper over the screen and trace it (or just print it out), take an exacto blade, cut out the image and put it on the tank, then paint the outline of the wolf. Then use the image as a ref when you're doing the rest. Some pics of the rhinos next to each other. Here it's more visable that I've been trying a different style. http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0241.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0240.jpg http://i188.photobucket.com/albums/z104/Asrech/IMG_0239.jpg I might not be doing a baal pred, but a soon-to-come project is a fellsword(shadowsword). And that thing will be crazy converted, and will most likely have some freehanding done as well! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julgolax Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 This would be a great idea for Alpha Legion! Seriously! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr tough guy Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 They both look good, but they both look unfinished to me, with the first one the head is spot on but the body looks unfinished because compared to the head, the basecolour is too dark, it sort of looks like you started with the shade and went straight to the highlights without painting the basecolour, the way you painted it could work, but then the head should be a lot darker too, same goes for the belly part, I would lighten it up, then again, not sure if you're keeping the tank black, if so I'd lighten it for a bit more contrast, if you're planning on painting the rest of the tank another colour the black might be okay. the second dragon sort of has the same problem but in reverse, your final highlight is too dominant, and I'd tone it down a bit on the body part. Good work on both though, but with a bit of extra work they could look great rather then good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Thanks for the tips. I'll see what I can do. Not that good with a brush, as you know, but it sounds easy enough. - Obben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PyronusSouria Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 Someone should explain the gene-seed malfunction that makes some chapters (my own, for example) much worse at art than their brethren. :lol: Very nice freehand art in all cases, I really like that purple flaming banner job, I'd turn and run if I saw that guy carrying that thing.
