Dam13n Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Very nice original vision of the model. I particularly like: - the Force Sword, the purple looks really good and compliments the scheme nicely. - the Plasma Coils, wonderful glow effect but not overdone. - the face is original and adds a unique character which I like, although the eyes seem to lack a little definition. - the Freehand BA symbol on the cape, really clean. - the mushrooms on the base are very cool. I would critique: - the pose of the legs looks a little off, particularly the right leg which is in a rather unnatural looking position, on that kind of slope I feel it really should be straight with the foot planted further down the slope for balance, but that's my opinion. - Knowing how difficult sculpting a good cape/robes can be, it is nitpicking but they do look a little rough in places, maybe adjusting the putty mix would help (a little more milliput perhaps). - (Probably due to the above) the spiked border on his robes looks a little rough in places and some of the points look somewhat blunted as a result.

MagicMan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Looks awesome dude! The legs do look a little off, but then i guess thats the problems that come with posing him on a slope like that. Is he to go with the BA space hulk termies? I noticed the bases were similar...

winterdyne Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 Yeah, Mephiston and a whole bunch of assault marines and some more friends will be joining the 2 SH terminator squads for a walk in the woods of Singapore. The client requested a much more vibrant red this time round though. He likes Rrrrrrrred. :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/241754-commission-mephiston-resculpt/#findComment-2921650 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morollan Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Fantastic model but I have to agree with the comments re the posing of the legs. The bottom right picture does unfortunately make him look like he's on the lavatory! Still, it's a million times better than my own work so kudos to you anyway!

tyrannosaurus Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I'm a big fan of yours - your Sanquinary Guard Phalanx and Blood Angels Space Hulk termies blew me away - I have to say though I think this is a little below your usual incredible level. I like the pose, but the painting seems to be a bit 'chalky', especially around the face and the rib things. I think this is probably because the GS was a little bit rough in places, and the hood seems a little lumpy. The detailing on the bottom of the cloak seems a little off too, and I've definitely seen you do better power weapons. Really like the base though, and the depth of red you achieved. This is way above my level, but I thought you might appreciate some constructive feedback.
