CosmicCreations Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Well hello B&C, I thought I'd come and show what I'm currently working on. I've taken a break from commission work for the day and started on the Loken and Abaddon duel from FW. I tend to stay on another forum but venture over here when every now and again. So without further ado here they are... http://i.imgur.com/K6crQND.jpg http://i.imgur.com/nZlgukW.jpg http://i.imgur.com/Hgda3b6.jpg http://i.imgur.com/DX0qTJ0.jpg http://i.imgur.com/xKKIQ5A.jpg http://i.imgur.com/3SRcieS.jpg http://i.imgur.com/oLCQDB1.jpg Still very WIP but not bad for about 4 hours work Now, I know everyone has their own interpretation on armour colours, this is mine. The armour is slightly more green than in these pictures, but it gives you a good idea of how he's starting to look. If you're not a fan of the colour then ok that's fair enough, but please no beating me for my choices! ;) Next is the start of Abaddon, again, maybe not everyone's choice of colours but hey ho... http://i.imgur.com/RYIhODj.jpg http://i.imgur.com/cf6ygAf.jpg I hope you like them, Cosmic Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275816-loken-and-abaddon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 awesoooooooooome. I much prefer these colours to what people usually do. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275816-loken-and-abaddon/#findComment-3376848 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwithout Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 To be honest I'm not sure about the colours. Not because it doesn't look good but it just doesn't fit the idea in my head. If you don't mind me asking what made you decide to do the colours that way? ( so just to clarify the colours DO look great ) Anyway the main reason I wanted to post was to say that the paint job is amazing, you seem to have captured so much character in the models! Keep posting! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275816-loken-and-abaddon/#findComment-3376895 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durfast Spiritwolf Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Cool idea to go with a very light grey/green - more of an evolution than a revolution in the colour scheme :-) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275816-loken-and-abaddon/#findComment-3376900 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 awesoooooooooome. I much prefer these colours to what people usually do. Thank you, Goose :) To be honest I'm not sure about the colours. Not because it doesn't look good but it just doesn't fit the idea in my head. If you don't mind me asking what made you decide to do the colours that way? ( so just to clarify the colours DO look great ) Anyway the main reason I wanted to post was to say that the paint job is amazing, you seem to have captured so much character in the models! Keep posting! I just had the paints in front of me at the time and I liked them. I'm really fussy with the usual chosen colours of Marines and I have a tendency to chose different palettes and shades. It just seemed to 'fit' really, I can't give you a better explanation than that to be honest. But thank you very much, it means a lot. Cool idea to go with a very light grey/green - more of an evolution than a revolution in the colour scheme :-) Cheers. It's definitely been one of my favourite colours so far.

CosmicCreations Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 I like the color, but to me it seems more Luna Wolf to me, but I still like it. I also really like how Abby is coming along. Can't wait to see more! -Tarvik Cheers, Tarvik. I'll try and get some better pictures tonight to see if I can bring out the green a bit more.

KaiserTJ1860 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 I like the pale colour too. Looks like a much more allegorical (i think that's the right word) interpretation of the battle - Loken the Luna Wolf, in whiter, purer armour, the traitor Abaddon in dark, evil black. Its not like he would have had time to repaint his armour, but wasnt there something in the novel about the Loyalists calling themselves Luna Wolves, or sratching the old symbol onto their pauldrons?

That didn't cross my mind but it sounds good so we'll go with that ;) They did deface their armour from what I remember and they did take the name Lunar Wolves again, so I'll try and scratch out some of the symbols. And thank you :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275816-loken-and-abaddon/#findComment-3377737 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicCreations Posted May 24, 2013 Author Share Posted May 24, 2013 Well I've been painting again but only for a short while. I'm still struggling to find a way to take photos that I like that shows the whole model in the best possible way, so for the time being you can just see some teasers of the happy couple....http://i.imgur.com/BTjPpsJ.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/QBgDd3E.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/275816-loken-and-abaddon/#findComment-3379311 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vile Siren Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Very nice job :) If I may ask what paints did you use for both faces so far? Keep up the good work!

CosmicCreations Posted May 28, 2013 Author Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thank you, Siren :) The paints are Vallejo, not GW. I was trying out their face painting set, still need some practice!
