Tarok Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Amazing work! Just love those shoulder pads in particular. Out of curiosity, I think you mentioned you model other genres? What else do you model? I'm thinking perhaps historical miniatures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master Chaplain Astador Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 *cough* mold lines *cough* Remember this is the generic marines they give for paint demos at Gw. They don't clean them they just prime and give them away. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegus Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Forgive me for the absence, work has been very intense the last two weeks (I'm a graduate student), and I've taken the time to upgrade my painting situation a small bit with a few model acrylics to balance out the canvas acrylics with poor coverage. I'll keep you update when the chest eagle is finished, it's taken up more than a few hours at this point!-Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 16, 2013 Author Share Posted May 16, 2013 Well I've been fiddling with how to do the black armour and settled for something similar to what's around the upper legs.battle damage on the left shoulderpad seems to have worked, I'll likely do a similar edge for the other one, minus damage.Kneecaps in gold, but will get a whole pile of ornament stuff on themand the chest eagle. Well, I don't know about it yet. The execution doesn't quite match the vision in my head, I don't think I'm skilled enough yet to paint crumbling paint for the chest eagle. tempted to scrub it and redo it completely!ideas are welcome!http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7321/8745896054_d7f68435b8_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aqui Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 I know I've already said it, but the amount of detail in that mini is astounding ^_^ I'd love to see what you're capable of with a multi-part mini! The detail on the Aquila is spot on to me, the "scratches" on the helmet are just right and the damage on the shoulder guard looks great ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mateus of ultramar Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 the level of detail your painting is truly jaw-dropping, the aquilla looks unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 here's a better view of the eagle, I dropped a bit of the metal on the left to look more natural and added some hazard stripes to the leg, along with a metal grill. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7287/8747283051_99a1c58a39_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skorpion Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Wow how do you paint that red? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 Regarding how I've been painting this so far: well the answer is lots and lots of layers of black-red mixes over black. I really haven't done this in a long time and I'm sure there's a more efficient way of doing this (maybe with an extender, or paints that don't come solid out of an aluminum tube..) but well this is what I've got.Everything here has been painted with a palette of cadmium red hue, burnt sienna, and cadmium yellow medium hue. This plus mars black, titanium white and windsor blue. I just got my hands on some GW paints, of which I have leadbelcher, runefang steel, gehenna gold, and auric gold.I know this may not be of much assistance, since you're probably working with GW paints, however the basic idea was bring up black until brownish, and then progressively layer lighter and lighter shades of red higher and higher up the shoulder until finished.hope that helps! -Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 I think I might as well post a few real in progress pictures, should give an idea as to my method for painting things extra to the armor, no it's not a daisy.should be fun! I think this is about 4x real life so should give you a really good idea of what's going on-Pete sketching with paint:I have no idea what I'm doing. this is a few light coats to lay down proportions, pretty much involves adjusting lines on the fly, I've started with a quick 'star' in silver, which isn't too noticeable, and used that as a guide to start laying down some lines. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7294/8748838574_103297c5dd_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 consolidate lines, trace out next lines, final check the design will fit (it does!)still not a daisy ;)http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7282/8747838203_038a91403d_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 begin ironing out detail, from the most difficult part outwards:in this case the black isn't deep enough yet, taking photos and blowing them up tells you lots about your painting!!http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8545/8747990401_667b881faa_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
