helterskelter Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Aww man he's awesome. You've made me really like that bare head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cretheus Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 aww thanks dude..... and by no means do wanna seem like i'm putting the forgeworld painters down as I am sure their skills far surpass mine but i dont really like the way they paint faces.... they always seem very flat to me.... considering the models themselves have so much character....

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Nice job, but the face kind of resembles the Crow. Being the prince of them, I'm not sure if that was intentional or if I'm just seeing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 No red gauntlets? Other than that, great paint-fu. I like how the colours are bit more muted, it lends the whole thing a grittier edge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cretheus Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 @ Brother Chaplain Kage - no the face wasn't intentionally meant to look like the crow but.... now you mention it.. it kind of does but I ain't complaining it came out how i wanted it to but on closer examination theres a couple of high light i want to add in.... @Retributis..... Sorry no red gauntlets. there is a reason though as i wanted the attention to be the face of the model and everything else to frame it hence the more muted tones etc.. a grittier edge was what i was going for though i think i want to ad i final fine highlight to the lightning,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Well if you get enough blood on you it dose tend to look black in some light not that I know. Great piece well painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exetus Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 At first I didn't like the white on the face until I realized that it was a skull. It does a good job of making that face sinister which I think is tough, but it does kinda edge towards a Brandon Lee feel. That said, it's a great job, though I think the red gauntlets would serve to further highlight the model instead of detracting from the face. Awesome job, overall.

Black_out Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Ugh yet another amazing looking Sevatar and I'm still just waiting on mine. He looks fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cretheus Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 Thanks very much guys... I have just seen a othe completed sevatar.... And well I've got an idea to put the red gauntlet on... As it's the one consistent criticism that I have been getting so... I guess it's got to be done... The pale complexion was deliberate as it automatically adds a sinister look to the model while being fluffy to the night lords. I'm glad people are liking it though!

sockwithaticket Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Wow, seriously impressive. Suitably dark. Not knowing much about 30k I'm going to go against the grain and say he's fine without the red hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidewinder 3 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I really love the expression on his face it totally focus the whole model. Thumb up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amarog Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 you've definately done it justice mate. Especially the head, as you know i was all for the helmet, just because i tend towards helmets but thats mainly becuase im an amature painter so faces (particularly eyes with my shakey hands) scare me. nailed it bud. cant wait to face him up close and personal! (the last game we played doesnt count as you'd already anhilated my wolf lord down to one wound lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K0rtmer Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 You totally nailed it, man. I like this one much better than the FW one. The face is just so characterful and so well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo13 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 The depth of the face is soectacular!!! You're right though forgeworld faces dont have the same pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
