nurglespuss Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hi All, as per some other recent posts, I'm just starting to paint again after a long running (still waiting for op) hand injury. I've lost a fair bit of dexterity, but am fairly pleased with this :) what it lacks in minute detail I hope it makes up for in bright brashness! Any comments much appreciated thankyou! (Just needs varnishing & still deciding on base - I may go for shiny black with edge highlights?) Meet Venerable Brother Torn, veteran of the Eyrie prophet war - any comments appreciated! http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0549.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0550.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0556.jpg http://i651.photobucket.com/albums/uu240/nurglespuss/DSCN0558.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schultzhoffen Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 That's quite good. Nice old school BA colours. One thing, though, perhaps you should try a wash on the wings and white areas and then highlight again to add some depth. At the moment it looks flat.

Isiah Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Agree with above. I wasn't expecting that wing – but a really nice touch. A very characterful BA dread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 It looks good you might want to give that wing a wash to bring out some of the detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 One good looking dread! Love the choice of colours - bit of a 90's flashback to 2nd edition BA's :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 13, 2012 Author Share Posted May 13, 2012 thanks for all the constructive feed back guys :huh: the white was washed with blue ink and highlighted. perhapsba darker wash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 I woukld have used a grey base colour to begin with and add in white a little at a time in order gradualy build up the highlights. You can use a wash now to help define the edges of the feathers. Thin down nuln oil/badab black and paint it in the grooves with a fine brush and just let it flow naturally in. Just don't over do it - a little goes a long way! :devil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude with a Brush Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 Very cartoony scheme but it works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nurglespuss Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Thanks again for the advice :D I've used a grey base on my sergeants shoulder wing in my blog on the blood angels part, Its a darker effect, but more detail... cheers :) And yes thankyou! I was going for simple and slightly cartoony! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
