Dosjetka Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I've had a bit of painting time these past few days, so what better to do than try painting yellow again? To make things even more fun, I thought I'd try painting it over a black undercoat and try my hand at "sponge weathering" technique. The results are surprisingly decent, though there are things I'll need to improve on, such as the freehand (that fist... ugh) and the weathering. But all in all, I'm happy And some shots from other angles: Thoughts and criticism welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olis Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 You know... that's worked well enough that I might try that technique... Good job. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Lunar Centurion: Thank you. Though we'll have to agree to disagree ;) kizz: Dude, I know you're a nice guy and everything, but you can't expect me to take such praise seriously after you've posted the brutally beaten-up World Eater and Iron Warrior from a couple of months back! Thanks anyway :P Olis: Thank you! If you need any tips, ask away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Looks good, Dosjetka. The fist is not bad at all and the weathering is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AGPO Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 This is exactly how I ant my fists to look! Could I trouble you for a yellow recipe, and ask how you achieved that awesome weathering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furstyferret Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Wow, really nice job dude. I hope to see a log at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I'm interested in giving this a go myself, what method and colours did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Sgt. Steine Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Good stuff man. I admire your willingness to try this battle damage technique. Now, I wonder, could he paint a whole squad like this? Keep 'em coming lad! BSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could I trouble you for a yellow recipe, and ask how you achieved that awesome weathering? I'm interested in giving this a go myself, what method and colours did you use? If you can wait a week or two, I can do a full tutorial on how I painted him (with pictures and perhaps even some .gif's!). If not, I can just give a written recipe and let you try and figure it out ;) Wow, really nice job dude. I hope to see a log at some point Thanks! I have some ideas in mind, but there's a good chance that there'll be no proper project log before the new year. Good stuff man. I admire your willingness to try this battle damage technique. Now, I wonder, could he paint a whole squad like this? Keep 'em coming lad! BSS Them be fighting words! Arr! :pirate: Thank you, Steine. And the end goal is a bit more than just a mere squad ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly what I had in mind, but you're not far off ;) I can wait, especially for something as fancy as gifs I can't guarantee that there will be any, but it's something I'd like to do and think would help better explain certain techniques/stages.

augustmanifesto Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Nice work! Impressed by your lovely freehand -- I know how challenging it is to paint a good fist! I would suggest a few minor tweaks to your technique to mess around with if you care to. First, focus the sponging on the corners of the armor. Second, go back and cover up some of the excessive sponge markings, particularly those towards the center of the panel for more of an uneven appearance that's more controlled. Third, consider spending some more time with your highlights -- both with your highlights of armor edges, and with highlighting the sponge effects to add depth, which is really the secret to good chipping, I think. But don't take any of that feedback the wrong way, this astarte is lovely indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosjetka Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 A full tutorial sounds great either way Really excited for the tutorial No pressure then :P Having spent around 18 hours during the last two days playing Fallout 4, I haven't gotten anything done. Thankfully, I had already told you it might be a week or two before you see anything :D Nice work! Impressed by your lovely freehand -- I know how challenging it is to paint a good fist!

There are definitely areas in which I need to improve, and you've pointed out most, if not all of them. Anyway, thanks for the tips, I'll keep them in mind for the next models :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firepower Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Not bad at all. You already noted the freehand issue in the OP, and that's really all that popped out at me. That, and the lack of basing. Even as a one off, he deserves some earth to claim in the name of Holy Terra ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarriorFish Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Pressure? No, that would be if I reminded you of all the times you have failed to deliver previously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 This is a great looking mini, I like the way the weathering turned out. I'll keep an eye out for your tutorial! Not bad at all. You already noted the freehand issue in the OP, and that's really all that popped out at me. That, and the lack of basing. Even as a one off, he deserves some earth to claim in the name of Holy Terra Pretty sure what he need is some ship's decking ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
