Retributis Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I don't know whether this sort of thread is allowed or not but I would at least change the picture to something Marine/Power Armour related. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicorex Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Im not a fan of the lime green.. But the over all theme looks good. If you want to show off your work some close up shots would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion-Studio Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 To be honest technique (dipping) and speedpainting used on that army makes it enjoyable and "good looking" from some distance. But we have to obey orders from Prophets of Perdition ;) Atm only those 2 pics: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
augustmanifesto Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Thanks for sharing. However, the color scheme seems pretty...terrible. It isn't just the strange lime-green/bone color, but why the blue power fist? The painting is pulled off OK for a commission piece, but I know that if I were to go around to web forums to pimp my stuff I would show up with something genuinely well done rather than just OK. For example, why the rust colored bolter barrels? that's just a bad choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion-Studio Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Sir augustmanifesto, First of all I should not comment on taste of the owner (my friend) of those SM. But... for example I hate those orange purity seals myself. He wanted to have The Mentor Legion and imagined them like that... his choice. As I said before its an army made in just few days to show how fast we can be (and to enter a tournament) - don't expect super quality (pics show 1/3 of the whole force). I need to brag that in Poland that army gets always decent points in torurnaments - it really looks good from distance. As for close up pics, you gave us OK rating and thats dipping technique - we take it as a compliment (there are a lot of dipping haters :)) Maybe you'll enjoy more my Space Wolves (also dipping technique): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reckoning Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Explains a lot if its dipping technique. I think the problem with the first army is the color scheme (not your fault I know). It still grabs your attention from afar, and for dipping technique these models look very striking IMO. Especially the SW. Do you have anything that wasnt painted to meet a deadline? Something that shows your skills using a more conventional technique? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lachdannan Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 These look okay. Though after been dipped, they could have used a highlight or two. At the moment they look a little too 'dirty' for my liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son of Carnelian Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 These look okay. Though after been dipped, they could have used a highlight or two. At the moment they look a little too 'dirty' for my liking. You think too dirty? I think too clean! That green stings and the red on the Space Wolves stands in too stark a contrast for me.

reckoning Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Customer didnt want these highlighted? They wouldve looked really good IMO had they had a highlight. Still look good though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah-a-nothepsis Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I don't understand highlighting. Those Crimson Fists look fine. Natural light.. why highlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Depending on the $$$$$ ..... they are nice from afar but far from nice! :P although i like the wolves better than the others. Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxichobbit Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 I don't understand highlighting. Those Crimson Fists look fine. Natural light.. why highlight? The reason miniatures are highlighted is because when your dealing with colours on such a small surface, they don't catch the light very well so the colours look flat. Highlighting and shading are both techniques to emphasise where the shadows and light fall, making the colours look more defined and seperating out parts of the miniature from each other. This is even more important when you see a model from a couple of feet away (like across the other side of a gaming table, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how you simulate light to account for small scale. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambodia Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Hey i dont really highlight either except for the main light source but i like to lowlight more so as i always put a coloured wash over the main colour then do the highlight with the main colour again looks good enough for me. eg ultramarine blue, then blue wash and highlight ultramarines blue again. it works i guess, but i aint entering golden demon either.

Thirdfox Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 The painting looks decent enough, especially the OSL but green Thousand Sons? Did the client request the colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion-Studio Posted September 7, 2012 Author Share Posted September 7, 2012 As the commisionee I can explain the green. I like green :lol: For a more fluffy explanation. The coven hates what the Rubric did to them and so marked their Rubric marines with Green until the time comes that they can be remade as true Thousand Sons, and so thats why the sorceror has his true colors. On a business note I must say that I am very happy with the amount of feedback abd understanding the Minion team showed while doing this project. Once the Chaos codex comes out I will definitely be using them for the rest of the army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
