Lorenzen Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks dude, trying to refine everything ive done on the DG on this model and have him at a point where i dont think "crap i really shouldve just pushed this bit a bit further or changed how i did that" ive started working on some of the cloth elements of him now as i wanted to start seeing where needs more contrast to the body or is causing issues with colour placement (the brass thighs on my old one ballsed up some of the colouring and made me use a gold i wouldnt have otherwise and lost some of the details of the model because of the trim near it etc live and learn) http://pre08.deviantart.net/0d65/th/pre/f/2016/324/3/b/mortarion3_by_typhion-dap1njm.jpg the scythe handle seems to reflect light in a funny manner and may need addressing before im happy with it, from straight on it looks almost black but its actually the same bronze as the top section of the scythe at its brightest and i need to do some adjustments to his right hand, his fingers are too dark. now onto the major bit of this update.. the cloth. http://orig06.deviantart.net/28e7/f/2016/324/6/3/mortarionback_by_typhion-dap1nmh.jpg the picture is pretty much the best i could do (will be consulting a friend on improving the contrast on some of my pics as theres actually a larger gradient between the shadows and the lightest parts that this doesnt seem to quite capture) And because people seem to like my faces heres a pic of Mortys without all the armour in the way.. the trim on his hood, cables and a few touch ups still need to happen but the actual flesh is done http://orig12.deviantart.net/3f39/f/2016/324/6/7/mortarionface_by_typhion-dap1qs9.jpg DuskRaider, Checkmate, Olis and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I'd say he's looking for pretty damn nifty, brother. Keep up the good work, as always. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanofAngels Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Love the new Mortation, dude! And that's a model that you already made look incredible! Out of curiosity, are you thinking about any freehand on the cloak? It's got a such a nice big surface for it, but I could definitely get behind the minimalist approach since it's Mortarion (and maybe just going with some trim, if anything). Awesome work man!

Lorenzen Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Nah no free hand itll just get dirt and grime painted on and the small strip of green along the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted November 25, 2016 Author Share Posted November 25, 2016 Slow progress on the big guy.. He's getting close to the point where laziness could call him done, but I'm having a good time painting him and want to keep pushing for "best mortarion i can do atm" i gave him a quick dust of varnish to protect some of the work thats already been done, and also to help distinguish bits of brass trim that need more work etc (too close in tone to the armour in places) Silence still needs a boat load of work too.. dunno if I'll give it a wooden haft this time or try and do something that keeps it close to black. http://orig11.deviantart.net/ff73/f/2016/330/7/d/mortarion_by_typhion-dapmqpw.jpg Ramell, malcharion, One-eye and 14 others 17 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraad Belak Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Your entire log makes me question not only my ability as a modeller and painter, but also my manhood...Keep up the awesome work brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One-eye Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 The armour is breathtaking ! I would let the haft in black to not divert the attention from the armour (if wood pattern is too elaborate). Shoulder pads could be worked a little bit more (don't know if you consider them done or not btw Lorenzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Crikey, to consider that this isn't done yet! I really like the shading of the white cloak. Lorenzen 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted December 9, 2016 Author Share Posted December 9, 2016 (edited) Your entire log makes me question not only my ability as a modeller and painter, but also my manhood... Keep up the awesome work brother. Never question your own ability just set goals and work to them, I strive to be better at what i do.. I class myself as an "ok" sculptor because my goal is Sam Egan levels of detail and skill and despite him always being positive about where I'm heading with my work I'm like a blind child with no hands compared to him. Thanks for the kind words though guys.. Morty is progressing but my blood bowl team "Da Seattle Sea Orcs" is getting in the way of meaningful updates atm.. there might also be some egyptian themed dudes in shiny red armour before long too.. Oh and the shoulders aren't finished, they need more definition between the greys and the white and a glaze of blue at the bare minimum, the photography does however kill some of the gradient as its the highest point of the brightness on the shoulder AND on the cameras exposure on the model.

dogfender Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Wow, glorious paint job! What/ how did you do the shading on the lower legs and knees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted December 10, 2016 Author Share Posted December 10, 2016 "Da Seattle Sea Orcs"Please post theseAlso, enjoy the snow today if you're from the area I'm pretty certain they don't apply to the forums rules.. and I'm native to the UK but have a fondness for American Football and basketball.. Seahawks & Magic being my teams of choice. The legs are just shaded with an airbrush as the base layers for the armour. Vallejo german grey as the darkest colour ,minitaire cracked soil as a midtone then vallejo pale sand as a highlight.. wash with burnt umber and edge highlighted amd weathered.

Lorenzen Posted January 22, 2017 Author Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Ok so with a week of painting left until the horus heresy weekender i figured it was time for some updated pictures of morty.. there are still things that i want to do to him before i completely run out of time, but i figure this is a good point to show him off again from various angles. http://orig14.deviantart.net/b8c0/f/2017/022/6/a/mortarion_by_typhion-dawdwhj.jpg http://orig07.deviantart.net/4642/f/2017/022/1/b/mortarion_front_by_typhion-dawdwxm.jpg http://orig15.deviantart.net/bc6b/f/2017/022/2/d/mortarion_left_by_typhion-dawdx2x.jpg http://orig08.deviantart.net/2b62/f/2017/022/6/f/mortarion_back_by_typhion-dawdwsq.jpg Edited January 24, 2017 by Lorenzen Kizzdougs, Thrillhouse, Checkmate and 2 others 5 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bloodhound23 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 This is my favorite Mortarion I've seen. Great work, even if it's not finished. Your take on the color scheme takes the cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother tycho Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 just gorgeous, the impression your work gives me is you can pour more effort into the death guard and get an equivalent return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 I think its one of the best colour schemes to showcase more "realistic" techniques & weathering & will reward time & effort massively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mirbeau Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Best Morty I've ever seen, easily, amazing painting. That said, what's going on with the white bits on the pads - can't tell from the pics what material they're meant to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 The white bits are cloth covering the actual shoulder pads themselves, the photos cripple some of the transitions between the lighter parts as most of the light source hits them quite strongly Mirbeau 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorenzen Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Been a little while since I've posted anything in here but i'll be changing that soon.. For the meantime here's a quick link to the article from warhammer community that my DG along with Paul Rudge's and Jonny from the Sons of Heresy podcast are featured.. https://www.warhammer-community.com/2017/06/27/titans-clash-at-warhammer-world-june27gw-homepage-post-2/ Lots of inaccuracies in their words though.. there were about 25 knights in total on the table and they got destroyed at various stages of the game and my reaver (Deus Interfectorum) lasted past turn 1 (though not by much) and was responsible for killing an enemy warhound and reaver. Enjoy the pictures.. and marvel at my immense dice box! ;) Kizzdougs, Checkmate and Grim Dog Studios 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lorenzen Posted September 1, 2017 Author Share Posted September 1, 2017 So with the open day come and gone and a second 30,000 point per side game organised for that i've been somewhat busy.. ill get some proper shots up of individual units and the such soon i promise but for now a game shot will have to do (amusingly on several blogs, sites etc our game was mislabelled as the "titan game" for the open day.. probably because nobody paid much attention to that whilst our table was quite popular) There are more photos (and a few videos floating about but i don't have them to hand.. Been feeling a little burnt out lately on beige stuff so decided to do something a little different.. yep gold dudes! theres the majority of a 3k list ready to be painted and i think ive figured out a recipe for the gold that i like so from there its just a matter of getting everything else to a standard im happy with and figuring out some cool ruins/desert bases for them.

Unknown Chronicler Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I love seeing your work and have been watching for years now (has it really been years? I can remember when I first saw your Fire Angels being posted ages ago!). My goal is to hopefully reach your level of painting and sculpting at some point as you've been my source of inspiration for awhile now :) Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see those Custodes all finished up!
