Mastermind_015 Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Very nice! The NMM is stunning. Really makes the colors pop. I really like the depth that the you have with the blues. It's amazing to see the difference between those old models and your new ones and give a lot of inspiration to new painters!

Sabadin Posted June 5, 2016 Author Share Posted June 5, 2016 Looks really good, but I'd suggest on working on the transitions between highlights as you can really notice the gradient in the pictures; I actually thought it was lightning one the PA guys at first. Thanks for the feedback, That's entirely the point of this project actually, my first time working with wet blends. Even on Kurze you can see the transitions softening as I progress through the different areas. I learned a lot on the PA unit, just wish I had time to learn more on them before ETL started. Got an hour in today though, blue on the torso is done until I finish the other colours to see the final results. DuskRaider 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one thing I want most from the log, I've gotten quite a few responses of "I wish I could do that ", and I think it's probably the most common comment I see in all the other project logs here. I want to show all the budding new painters that almost all of us did not start at this level, it took practice and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 A wet palette helps considerably for wet blending. My other piece of constructive criticism is light theory. Any form of light based highlights instead of line highlights needs a consistent direction light is coming from, which means a lot of things you highlighted, wouldnt actually be highlighted because there would be no light to reflect off of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted June 6, 2016 Author Share Posted June 6, 2016 That's the pain to get my head wrapped around still. Starting to get a little more consistent with Night Haunter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabadin Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Got some work in on the arm, just need to finish up the bronze, then on to the next arm.

Sabadin Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Blue and bronze done on both shoulders, inside of the cloak done. Will be moving on to the loincloth and back of the cloak next. Hellath and DuskRaider 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshenKnight Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I love this man. That's such a brutal looking model and you're giving it one hell of a paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted June 11, 2016 Author Share Posted June 11, 2016 Change of plan, felt like doing the gaming base next instead. Now will be moving on to the cloak and loincloth. DuskRaider and Hellath 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabadin Posted June 28, 2016 Author Share Posted June 28, 2016 Got some work done finally. Almost done the blue on the main body. Not completely happy with how the thigh and torso turned out, may revisit them later. DuskRaider 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkimaskMohawk Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Kind of similar to what I said about Curze is that your light theory is a bit off. You have a lot of it coming from above, yet his chestplate seems really off compared to the rest. That being said your transitions are certainly getting better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabadin Posted June 29, 2016 Author Share Posted June 29, 2016 ... yet his chestplate seems really off compared to the rest... Yup, envisioned that turning out very differently in my minds eye, looking back at it after a few hours it looks super out of place. Will be scratching that and starting over.

Sabadin Posted July 1, 2016 Author Share Posted July 1, 2016 Redid the chest, completed the helm, and blocked in the bronze, cape, and gauntlets. DuskRaider and m0nolith 2 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabadin Posted July 2, 2016 Author Share Posted July 2, 2016 Forgot to post this here, will update later on with better lighting. Next will be finishing up that Terror Squad, then likely some work on the boys in red for a change of palette.
