Magos Takatus Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I recently painted this for a friend of mine. He wanted the main armour colour to be orange so I settled for a nice Scale 75 colour called Peanut Butter combined with Vallejo's yellow ochre from the Chipping and Rust paint set. The metallic areas are mainly Darkstar and Scale 75 with a little bit of Citadel here and there. https://youtu.be/PusDl6l9ZS8 5 6 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379548-vashtorr-the-arkifane/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firedrake Cordova Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 He looks great - I bet your friend is very happy! 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379548-vashtorr-the-arkifane/#findComment-5972037 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted July 15, 2023 Author Share Posted July 15, 2023 Thank you. The oil wash really make the trim pop. Some people consider using an airbrush is cheating. Rubbish! Oil washes are the real cheat. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379548-vashtorr-the-arkifane/#findComment-5972108 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prot Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Great job. The flesh is nicely done and a great contrast to the 'peanut butter'. ;) 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379548-vashtorr-the-arkifane/#findComment-5972262 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Thank you. It's not a massive departure from the default scheme but painting the flesh to look raw rather the more singed look of the GW method gives him a different feel. I think the horns could do with more detail but I think I'd have to put on some magnifiers and break out a new brush to manage that. Even then it might be beyond me. 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379548-vashtorr-the-arkifane/#findComment-5972267 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Toddius Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 I like the look of the flesh you painted. It still looks living (barely) and vital part of his being. Most painters are making the flesh look totally dead. Your result makes it more horrific and twisted. Great work. 1 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/379548-vashtorr-the-arkifane/#findComment-5972418 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magos Takatus Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 I'm glad we settled on the flesh looking that colour. My fried suggested very tanned flesh until I pointed out that it wouldn't contrast well with the armour. After that he agreed with my idea. He was pretty hands-off which was nice. If I ever try commission painting I will have to get used to a lot more specific briefs.
