winterdyne Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 The direction of the highlights changes as you go round the compound curve onto the upper surface. Same direction(s) were used to highlight each side. Pretty confident it's more or less correct technically. As for the look, the black/white has a lot added with the double lining on the black portions. Time is too limiting to do that on the green, but it's something I'll bear in mind if I do a similar effect on something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrayCatt Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I don't doubt it is technically correct, but as I am certain you know, technically correct doesn't always look right. Regardless, I stand by my initial statement, that looks awesome, and I hope it earns you a top spot. -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterdyne Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not very good photos; off an iPad, and at night. The last few stages should change the look quite significantly. It's unlikely I'll get much chance to stop for decent photos now, so this may be the last update until it's done... http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/warhound/warhound_wip50.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/warhound/warhound_wip51.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/warhound/warhound_wip52.jpg http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/warhound/warhound_wip53.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone Scout Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This is super awesome. I love the name for the piece, the metals, the action, all of it. I wish you well in the comp, hope you win!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siege40k Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 This is absolutely stunning! I follow your updates pretty religiously. Your Ultra dread was phenomenal...this is jaw dropping. Good Luck! Amazing, amazing work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrayCatt Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 The cracked effect reads much better when in place on the model. You have really achieved a stunning piece with this. I hope it gets recognized at the Demons, but the recognition you got here should make it worth it ... -Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 I figured out what to do with some dead space on the diorama. BURN IT. BURN IT WITH FIRE! http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/warhound/warhound_wip59.jpg And somebody requested a close up of the Warhound Designation mark. Also you'll notice the supporting barrel is now tied in to the base. I figure it's safer to make it part of the display rather than have it removable. http://www.winterdyne.co.uk/maz/images/commissions/victor/warhound/warhound_wip60.jpg No pics of the titan till after GD now. Want to keep the finished (and it is) beasty under wraps for now. :-) Still have to add the banners and some more brass etch foliage anyway. Should be done with everything late tonight.

NightHunters Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 2, no 3 things. 1. Water pouring out of the canteen. Seriously?!? That is taking it to the next level sir! Bloody good form! 2. How in the name of the Emperor do you do your "grassy" areas if you would be so kind? 3. The burnt ground effect may be even more mental than the water ;) As ever, just amazing work!

winterdyne Posted September 20, 2012 Author Share Posted September 20, 2012 The scrub is woodland scenics fine foliage scatter. Lots of brown wash to knock it back from the rather bright green it is naturally, drybrush, airbrush dusting. Basically just grub it up till it blends with the terrain. There is a LOT of pigment on the ground, too, some of which gets on the scatter which helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider-75 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 If this "just" took a demon then either that's seriously unfair or the sword winner was mind blowing. Absolutely love this piece and a demon was at the least what it deserved. Need to show us the whole thin in total detail now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winterdyne Posted September 23, 2012 Author Share Posted September 23, 2012 The piece this came second to (in diorama) took the sword. And was mind blowing, especially the banner. I'm very happy with the silver, and particularly enjoyed hovering around while people speculated on what I did... was fun. :-) Edit: There are some minor repairs to do, and I need to get set up to photo it properly. It'll be at least a few days before I can get decent pics up. The GW guys took some good ones though. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
