10 balls WIP

[Maenas]

I agree with Saint this project has achieved a little bit of a Sprocket vibe....

 

[clarke]

Just keeps getting better, awesome work.

 

[ten ball]

[Duilin]

Well if that's not inspirational I don't know what is. Though I do hope it takes a little less than 29 years! Got to say Ten, that's some of the finest painting I've seen in a long time

 

[Foxtail]

I prefer the old one.

Nah, Duilin's right. Truly inspirational stuff. Just goes to show what dedication to this hobby can achieve

 

[SaintToad]

That's awesome, 10. I'd love to see you again take a crack at your long neglected TMM style sometime...

I'm seeking an extension on Slambo, by the way... not feeling that guy at all. Yours is just beautiful! Same question I asked Andy: when and with what technique are you incorporating the lovely blues, browns, and oranges into your sort of mystical steel?

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all

SaintT - Ive been using blending with stippling over finished with glazing to (try) and tie it all in.
Had a few tips on colour from the master sproket hence the same 'feel' of his painting (but without that amazing finish)

The harlequins (you were correct skele) & the water crossing projects dead my mojo a little but with painting a mini that I love the painting mojo returns.

3 hours tonight working on an axe. I know ive said it many times before but the greatist tip I can give to a beginner is to paint in small 2-3 hour sessions, focusing on a small section, and control the urge to rush on.

[Mally]

A valuable tip from a master.
Great job mate and I bet your taking ten times longer to do this than your first effort.

 

[Hairster]

Something I need to master for sure...the urge to blitz through things for instantly gratifying results is pretty counter productive and hard to resist for me. Having seen and been in awe/inspired by so many of the GD entries this year it was definately something i pinpointed to try to focus on as I try to move forward.

The Slambo-off is fascinating to watch as expected...love the teal tone you have glazed on to yours now.

 

[Digganob]

That's just got to be really awkward for him to wal with 3 skulls dangling around his croch. All jokes aside you have floored me again with your epic work.

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all.

More WIP.

Looks incredible.

I've not been on the forum for a while, I saw your grots at GD, they were so cool but were high up and I didn't get a very good pic of them (not that I got a very good pic of much on the day with the lighting) but I don't think I saw your other entries ?

Slambo is looking awesome though, as someone else said, definitely a touch Sprocket.

 

[oistene]

Slambo looks great, Ten. Also, it is hard to tell, but it looks like you improved a bit since '98. Who would have thought that practise actually made one BETTER?!? :O

 

[Dragonsreach]

.. I saw your grots at GD,
.......definitely a touch of Sprocket.

......../only on here could those two phrases be considered innocent.

 

[SaintToad]

Did you paint the reflection of the dripping goop in the pool of goop below?

 

[ten ball]

It's just the shine from the photo, only a base coat.

 

[SkelettetS]

nice work! slambo is a cool one, might do him in r'n'r tmm in the future

 

[wargamesculptor]

Not sure on the stripes on the horns, rest looks awesome

 

[Captain927]

I like the stripes on the horn. It adds interest to the white. Nice work

 

[Hairster]

Humbug horns look great IMO. Belter
