Ivanzypher Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Hey guys. I recently finished a gaming standard Black Templars commission for a client at Golem Painting Studios, thought I'd share some pics with you chaps. Some of the pics came out a bit blurry, so sorry about that. Crusader Squad http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab304/Ivanzypher11/000_1098_zpsd285753a.jpg Sword Brethren http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab304/Ivanzypher11/000_1101_zps9518e0c9.jpg Command Squad and Captain. My first attempt at a freehand banner, I think it came out OK.(also, forgot the apothecary in this pic, I'm sure he's off doing something important though) http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab304/Ivanzypher11/000_1095_zps98a1b63e.jpg Terminators and their Land Raider transport http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab304/Ivanzypher11/000_1096_zps26adfaa4.jpg A few Vehicles http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab304/Ivanzypher11/000_1102_zpsdfb0cb02.jpg Battle scene vs. some Eldar. The Eldar aren't painted by me, they were done by one of the other fantastic chaps at Golem Painting Studio. http://i874.photobucket.com/albums/ab304/Ivanzypher11/000_1108_zpscf2faffe.jpg Emperor's Champion about to smite a Wraithguard.

LutherMax Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Lovely clean paint job, I like the Captain and Sword Brethren in particular... It would be good to see some close up shots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanzypher Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately these guys have been sent to the client so I can't grab anymore pics. I did some other marine commissions recently though, and have better pictures of them. They will be posted shortly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Two things: 1) Purity seals. For the most part they appear to lack writing squiggles which makes the models seem incomplete - this is, however, something that I pick up on with a lot of people. 2) Barrels. As far as I can tell, they all need drilling (not that you can now, but it's something to point out). Again, this sort of thing makes the models seem incomplete. Barring that, the paintwork is quite crisp and clean. You're certainly a competent painter and the basing is done consistently - it's just those basic details that need sorting out that stops this from being a really good commission. I'm not saying that to put you down, brother, I genuinely want to see you do well with your commissions. However, to do so, I have to be honestly critical. I hope this helps.

Ivanzypher Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 The reason for the lack of purity squiggles is that the models were to match some of the clients existing models. Same goes for the barrels. If the models were my own I would have done them. Thanks for the honest criticism though. No point sugar coating things now is there?

Olis Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Indeed not. So, it was by request then. In that case, my points are moot. Far be it from me to wonder why someone wouldn't want those things done regardless... Carry on as you were, brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuchinawa Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I love the effect on the 'Champ's blade. Is there a secret to that or just a very careful hand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanzypher Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 No secret to the sword, just careful colour choice, correct paint consistency and a steady hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
