10 balls WIP

[ten ball]

Thanks all.
Another finished. Andy suggested a little more moss etc to break up the grey. I followed Sprokets technique that he has used on the nurgle boat. Bi-carb mixed a little matt medium and a light camo green, then shaded. The slight raised textured effect gives a more realistic to-scale look to the moss imo.

Very nice effect. :good:

 

[Zab]

Also it brings the greens from the orc into the base and ties them in nicely Love it!

 

[Terrafirma]

Sorry Ten but in my eyes the green on the rocks need to be differentiated from the ork,maybe darker or add a yellow to it to make it look mossy. Just on the sand style grass not the little tuft,there is different types of grass there and they're all the same colour.
Please don't shank me

 

[ten ball]

Thanks
Terra - I was trying to avoid a patchwork quilt of greens happening so chose a similar shade to the orc . On saying that after looking at the photo I see your point and will have a mess with a few shades

 

[Sproket]

OK, brace yourself! I really like the extra green on the base, so much so that I wonder if more would be a good thing?

Someting like this

Well if you had just said it I would of thought no.
But on seeing the picture..... I'm thinking yes !!
Will have a mess in the morning

 

[KruleBear]

I like the look of the additional vegetation And in keeping with your thought of the greens harmonizing with the orcs skin, how about a couple dead bushes that harmonize with the slayers hair and/or skin?

 

[Terrafirma]

Like what you've done Dave can you, being a computer geek add some deadness on the orks side to match the Dwarf like Krule said . See what it looks like ?

 

[SkelettetS]

Looks great. just missing a tree

 

[BloodFather of Kharnath]

Ten: You've set the standard, in my eyes, for rocky outcroppings. It has such a powerful, fantasy look that looks dreamy in a way. I'll have to go back and see how you did it again, as I think I remember a mini-tut, or at least an explanation about ten pages back. Should be damn proud.

 

[aniku]

Yeahh!!!!

Do the green mess!!!!!!!

 

[ten ball]

Thanks all
More work on the SM, sharpened up edge highlights on the front, just started blocking in the highlights on the back ready to shade down. Dusted over the rock with vmc deck tan for a visual.

Looking very crisp mate, will you be weathering him later ? Also have you had any thoughts on what your going to put on his right shoulder pad ?

 

[Kretcher]

Nice pic there sproket to get a good feel of the change you suggest.

Thanks.

Dont think im going to weather him, going for clean and bright. Painting one of the those white dragon head 'things' on his shoulder pad.

 

[Pictish Mini Painting]

Extra mossy looks great on the base

 

[Bailey03]

Great looking, duel. I love the movement of the piece. Only thing I'd say is it could use a tree. :tongue:

The armor on the space marine is excellent as well.
