Forge World Angron

[DannyJZuko]

Hey Y'all!

 

Here is my completed Angron. This has by far been the most challenging thing I have ever painted. It was a real treat. I have never seen a miniature with so much detail. I probably won't be tackling the scenic base for a while. Need to take a break from this project...

 

As always, any comments or criticism are welcomed and encouraged.  Thanks for looking!

 

Danny

he looks good, really like how the gold has come out on him, very true to the art colours. 

 

the face could maybe do with a little depth adding, but only a little. 

 

good work!

Fantastic! How many hours would you spend painting this model? Honestly don't think I would have the patience I don't like painting all that much and try to speed paint my models to a table top standard ha ha

I really like him but the skin looks a little bit yellow. Is this just due to the photos ?

Also how did you paint the armour please?

[Artemid]

Great job! That's a very lovely shade of bronze you've found, and honestly a very well done corpse too

I would agree with the comments about depth though - the face isn't bad, but the hands seem to have zero shading on them, and they all could use some more depth. In fact, I think all of him could - the armor has lots of great detail to pick out with washes and highlights, but the bronze is just too flat right now. The cloak too could use a biit of darkening in the shadows and then maybe a conservative extreme highlight in places.

Oh, have to say - excellent looking gore!

Looking nice. :)

@Blindhamster - Thanks a lot.  The depth on the face is definitely a touch washed out in these photos, but I do think I pinned myself in a corner with the colour I chose.  I wanted him to have a pale "never sees the sun and sits inside brooding all day" kind of look to him and by the time I got to highlight shades they were not all too different from the base shade.  Live and learn.

 

@Robert2004 - Ha! It definitely took a long time.  I didn't really keep track, but if I guessed, I would say the whole model took somewhere in the region of 24 hours of work time.

 

@skillingspree - It may be the photos.  I have not really had a chance to tweak the photos (and am not particularly skilled in this practice) but will be trying to get some better shots later this week.  As for the armour, I started with a base of Warplock Bronze, then layered up Brass Scorpion into a highlight of Runelord Brass.  After that, I laid a liberal wash of Reikland Fleshshade over the whole model.  When the wash dried I then did a more focused wash of Reikland Fleshshade into the recesses and areas of shadow.  Finally, I applied another light layer over Brass Scorpion onto the edges and the large open areas.  Hope that makes sense!

 

@Artemid - Thank you for the valuable and constructive criticism.  See the comments above for @Blindhamster about the depth and skin tone.  As for the armour, I tried a silver or gold highlight and found it too harsh or out of place over the Bronze.  This was the best look I could come up with unless you have a suggestion?  The cloak is something I definitely would agree with.  It is easy to over highlight that piece and I think I may have gone too conservative. 

 

@Sigur - Thank you!

I like your version a lot! I personally would have made his skin much more tan, since he fought in the hot sun as a gladiator for years, but your justification that he "broods all day" makes plenty of sense. Great work!
