An Ultramarine

Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I wanted to showcase the last marine I painted. I'm wondering just how it's perceived by others. As always, self critisizing is hard. All is done using freehand, no stickers or anything.

 

I'm thinking of doing all my marines in this fasion. Clean and well "traveled" with honours and scrolls. I forgot to take a picture from the rear. Once I have a full squad I may open a general "my army thread" (Months from now as I restarted.)

Thanks for the comments! :) 

 

The blue parts actually have some darker shading in the recesses, however it's far too light. I didn't do the red on the bolter. Certainly things to put on the list. This particular marine took well over two months as I was learning some new techniques. I'm going to alter my painting method to speed things up though. This one was from the bottom up; black basecoat, dark colours, lighter and lighter. The armour parts were painstakingly painted one by one. For just tactical marines this takes far too much time.

 

I think this marine used to have different colours (painted over). However I do have(had?) an issue with patience so my paint may just be too thick anyway. Thanks for the critique, well appreciated.
