kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 you can start to see it coming together now. I don't really have a solid design for this, you find out pretty quickly what works and what doesn't work as you go, and adapt your original design accordinglyhttp://farm8.staticflickr.com/7291/8749158962_00dc1f55bd_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 you possibly start to see where this is going. Not a daisy, and no, not a chaos star!http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8546/8749331930_d18d7b98b2_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 really does look like a chaos star at this point, but that should fix itself on the next step! http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8119/8748330147_87d71ebd50_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 starting to come around!this is just the same idea, you can't paint as thin as you want lines on the fig, so you paint overlapping lines with the brush, such that the width of a line then is thinned.http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8253/8748374989_1e6275a25e_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegus Posted May 17, 2013 Author Share Posted May 17, 2013 almost done main work.I have to go to work and finish off some stuff in the lab, so I'll pick this up again tomorrow.next steps are cleanup of the bits of black that need work, a small amount of highlighting and some gradient washes inside the panes to bring out the colour some more. Then I line the while thing off and call it a kneepad!-Pete http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8133/8748400463_0d9a49660f_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kraegus Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 Had some time to work on him this evening, some of the gold needs a little tidying up around the windows, but you get the idea.http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5450/8770783805_624d1ebc00_z.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astral Pathfinder Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 ....and there is still 3 pieces to work on. I agree with Razblood you may need room for a smiling badass deamon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elohimalpha Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Stunning work! How many hours of painting has it taken to get to this point so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kraegus Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 Stunning work! How many hours of painting has it taken to get to this point so far? about 8-10 hours, spread over the course of a few weeks. A good chunk of that time has been spent blending the right shades! I'm thinking that to do more models I really have to move away from blending from primary colours. I'd like to go hunt down some vallejo paints, as I've never tried them before and it should make the painting process a little easier and faster. Any ideas from UK painters? London is probably my best bet, I'm an hour west out in Oxfordshire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightHunters Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 There are no words. On the Vallejo front there used to be a great model shop on High Holburn (London) that had the full range but rather irritatingly they closed down a couple of weeks ago!! But apparently they have another in Croydon... Keep it coming brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarriorFish Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I think you're insane. The good kind, but still madder than a hatter! Amazing. Have you somehow mastered the long sought after technique of shrinking yourself so you can paint your model details easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
