jah-joshua Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 hey B&C... here is the first piece i've painted just for fun, after ten years of commission work and contests... it was fun to just mess around again... i think i over did it a little with my lighting... i'll try another round soon... brightness aside, i hope you like what you see... http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/frontdantesm_zps7245f4a0.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/sworddantesm_zps4703d94d.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/backdantesm_zpsac4545e5.jpg http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l266/jah-minis/forum%20pics/sidedantesm_zpsa3bc3855.jpg here is the link, if you care to vote: http://www.coolminiornot.com/335127 it was fun to build this guy when the Sanguinary Guard kit came out... unfortunately, it took me three years to get back around to him... i'll be taking the gold recipe (heavy on the Sanguine Base for shading), and increasing the contrast a bit more for the next golden guy i paint, the Big E... thanks for looking... i hope you like him... cheers jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Eleysium Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Absolutely splendid model!!! Love what you did with the backpack and the lightning on the ax was definitely not overdone. @jah-joshua And is that a model you converted yourself? Edit: Nevermind I found it.

segmentumobscurusstudios Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Looks fantastic and I agree so much better than the original! I'd love to know how you painted the gold though....got a sanguinary guard force Sat in a box waiting for a nice scheme to be applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jah-joshua Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 thanks for the kind words, guys... i'm not happy with the lighting in these photos... the top of the jump pack should be shiny, as that is were the most light hits, and how i painted it:(... i'll definitely be doing another round of pics... as to the gold recipe, the main color is Vallejo Air Gold (used as a brush-on, not sprayed)... the shadows are glazes of P3 Sanguine Base... highlights are Vallejo Air Aluminium... so, whatever your prefered painting style is, just play around with those three color... i build up my golds from black, through P3 Rhulic Gold and Battlefield Brown 1-1, followed by pure Rhulic, then an old pot of GW Burnished Gold, building a nice solid basecoat, and then pure VA Gold where the light would hit... this is shaded with many very thin layers of Sanguine Base, until i get the shadows i like... highlights are a mix of VA Gold and VA Aluminium 1-1... the hard edges are given a final touch of pure Aluminium, and done... hope that helps... cheers jah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
