smallvictory Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Nice model, you didn't shy away from any details at all either, every little thing is highlighted. Give that guy a nice base, some company and you're good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Caliban Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 A striking piece, solid work, and a lot of time spent. Good attention to detail. My constructive critique if I may... The contrast between the armour is to great. You can have even black in the shutlines if you like but it will take a lot of work to make it look correct. The overall colour is nice. If you are happy with it then that's what counts. However look at the Terminator's right hand (on the ass cannon) it looks as though you have opted to ink shade the small detail for speed, but look at this beautiful subtle shading. This is an example of how subtlety can still provide a great contract and striking piece. If you mix a medium brown with a dark grey and accurately wash this into the darkest area you could lower the contrast and create a more natural look. None the less a great model the way it is and certainly a paint job that will stand out from a far in the gaming area as well. Keep it up!

magnefjord Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 Thanks all for your comments, makes me really glad to hear that you like it soo much, I really appreciate it <_< Thankyou once again A striking piece, solid work, and a lot of time spent.

But as it's my first try at Deathwing I really appreciate any critique I get so thankyou for your tip ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithrilForge Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 great Stuff, Brother caliban has some merit...up close the contrast and highlights look really stark...BUT im going to say that 100% if you looked at this model from 12" to 24" away on the tabletop then its going to hit the spot exactly for looks :tu: and isnt that what were aiming for ? looking perfect on the table.... cheers Mithril Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknown Chronicler Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I love the white colour scheme you gave it, but to it doesn't have that bone feeling to it as they describe the Deathwing company. But screw it, unique is what we all should strive for, great job ;), can't wait to see more of those Dark Angels being painted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Chaplain Astador Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 He looks good! I think with a little bit of practice and fine tuning you have yourself a winner! :P I like what I assume was attempt to do a Patina effect on the gun barrel. It needs some work, but it's a good start. Not to hijack your thread, but here's my own version of this guy. Hopefully it inspires you to finish the unit! http://www.coolminiornot.com/315559 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But screw it, unique is what we all should strive for, great job ;), can't wait to see more of those Dark Angels being painted! Thankyou very much, and it's not really white, it's painted in bleached bone, and high lighted with skull white. It's the damn camera that make things look brighter than they are. And there will be more Dark Angels coming up at some point, unfortunally I'm a very slow painter, only this one took me 3 days to make.

But thatnkyou soo much for your comment! Merry christmas on you :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vadskær Posted December 9, 2012 Share Posted December 9, 2012 For your first DW model, I like it a lot! Very good color control and nice neat lines. The discoloring around the muzzles could perhaps be augmented further with washes of black, brown and purple. An idea could be to look at real life images of heated metal discoloration. Good job - let's see some more! /vadskær Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Great looking model. I thin kthat the eye lenses do not contrast enough with the armour They both seem to be highlighted with white/vream, so they kind of merge together. Id maybe darken the lenses slightly, or put a dark wash around them to make them stand out. Nice discolouration of the barrels. It does end a little too abruptly, though, maybe a very thin wash of blue a little further down the barrel, and add more colours (a puple or mud wash would work, with black at the very end, as per Vad above) The pruple would also tie in nicely with the eye lenses for a very warm figure.

Firepower Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Not half bad :) Agreed that the shading could be a bit more subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But screw it, unique is what we all should strive for, great job , can't wait to see more of those Dark Angels being painted! It is actually in bone color, the armor is painted in beached bone, and is highlighted with skull white, it's the flash from the camera that makes everything seem brighter than they are.

Seleucus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Looks great!! My only suggestion is possibly use a watered down wash/glaze to merge the various highlights a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
