tortoise Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Converted and painted this dude for the ultramarines. I don't really know what I intended him to be- a company champion or a captain, I just liked how he looked. I intended to sell him on ebay (gotta get some money for the PS3 launch :D ) but coolmini is so screwed up nowadays that linking to an auction is pretty much impossible ;) ) clicky Comments and crit much appreciated, thanks if you'd like to vote.

Chronophague Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Very nice, I really like the leathery look on the leather strap things that hang from his waist. The color and highlights are just right for that leather look. The overall painting on the model is outstanding, tho it in my opion suffers from the "pastel" problem, so many models of that style of painting do. Meaning it looks too "soft" and sorta dusty. But that's more a style issue than anything else. I think the base is a slight let down, the green plant stuff you got going could've used a drybrush to accentuate it more. Also, no writing on his purity seals, makes it look like he has just got paper pieces glue to him, or does he use them to write notes? ;) Great stuff.

Brother Nihm Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 That's a sweet paintjob there mister. I like the cool colors, pastel colors looks quite cool on UM. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaldoth Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 That is one seriously nice piece of work mate ;) And thats a real compliment coming from me, as I am the worlds number one Ultrasmurf hater :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortoise Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Thanks very much guys. He is kind of pastel but I've always had that style and I like my models to look kind of dusty. I didn't do any writing on the purity seals because I was worried that it would make a pretty busy sculpt look even busier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersminis Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 I like that lots! Nice weathering and battle damage, and the source lighting is well done as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoxI Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 That's awesome. Looks kinda Greek, as Ultramarines are supposed to. Slightly off topic, but who buys miniature auctions anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpt_Tiberius Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 Very nice! It reminds me of the current "european" style, very painterly. My only comment is I'd like to see a bit more freehand embellishment, but that's as much personal taste as anything else. I looked through your other models as well, and I have to say they were all gorgeous. good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
