Pig Of Sparta Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've decided to call these mini's done now. I was going to add some more marking's to the Lone Wolf's armour but after much thought I've come up with a couple of reasons why he wouldn't have them (they'll be worked into his saga once I've got them nailed down properly). So here is Harngvr Skyhowler himself accompanied by the reincarnated spirits of his pack brothers in all their glory: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7265/7636167286_f92e3cd33f.jpg Closeups of Harngvr: http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8291/7636168472_eeda523040.jpghttp://farm8.staticflickr.com/7137/7636168152_420a7c98bf.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8433/7636167840_eeccba52a5.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8016/7636167586_cff4d7a119.jpg And his wolves: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7255/7636169998_92eebac712.jpghttp://farm8.staticflickr.com/7257/7636169098_045bac5313.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8025/7636169386_620e8a3a64.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8143/7636168760_f94546656f.jpghttp://farm9.staticflickr.com/8016/7636169748_38093ec932.jpg I know that the brushwork is somewhat basic compared to some of my other mini's but I was aiming for 'tabletop' quality on this project. I know to some tabletop and display quality are the same thing but to me they are different ends of the quality spectrum ;). As usual any comments or criticism is welcome, thanks James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Lightstar Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I like a lot of your stuff but I honestly think that even as TableTop quality, you could do with an extra highlight or two on the armour, just to pic it out a little, the blue-greys tend to look somewhat flat. The face is cool though and I like the sword. Rik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecritter Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Clean is how I'd describe it. Very nice work, but clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disruptor_fe404 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Very clean. I think it's awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatGrinder Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Very nice, but lacking a bit of depth. The armour is very flat all over. It is rediculously neat though. And that face is pristinely painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heru2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 Nice model, I agree with the highlights on the armour, I've had this problem painting models for the old collectors guides. In person a lot of the time the models are fantastic, but when photosnapping we always had to paint up the models to a two or three stage higlight more than looked good, because that was how they needed to be done for the photography. These days I think their photos are a little more advanced but for normal cameras this still applies! Oh, one more thing, anyone else think this marine is the spitting image of the wrestler Steve Austin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EgoDraconumNigrorum Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 A very crisp model indeed! Sometimes less is more - i like the model without the highlights. - EgoDraconumNigrorum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomsly Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 nice neat painting as always. something i noticed where the front legs of the wolves have what looks like a overpaint on them, like when the fur was painted the brush tip got the middle of the leg too. if its meant to be like that ill get back into my hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearingtheword Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm liking them. They could use a touch of highlight, but it still looks good without it. I, as well as many others, have difficulty doing it consistently well, so I don't mind the look without them. ~BtW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks rather nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
