AndyG WIP (pic heavy)

[BloodFather of Kharnath]

Already looking stupendous. Like the use of the pinkish purples in there. The challenge is to try to give him some texture. Make his skin look dry and ashy. Also, speaking of pigments, maybe think about covering certain parts of
him in dry, cracked mud. Crackle medium may suit this well. What do you think, brother?

 

[AndyG]

Yeah diganob he is a bit big I'd say about 9cm tall though he is still 30mm scale just one big mofo! Nah BFK no crackle I'll pigment instead. Yep I wana run out I've got too many good minis that are just sitting there im going to finish every last damn one of them and then splurge buying only the best and then nothing else until ive done all of those as well. I find otherwise I spend a fortune on stuff that just lies there gathering dust got to stop that never again!!

 

[Digganob]

Welllllll I could save you from having to splurge as I have a nice small skaven army I need of some paint...just saying ::insert maniacal laugh::

 

[Meph]

Damn, dude... that looks wicked!

 

[Sionid]

Good golly, the skin looks awesome so far. Very excited to see more.

 

[BloodFather of Kharnath]

Don't know too much about pigments but just saw that they make a dried mud one. So yeah...

 

[Sproket]

That's a great start I really like the pink/purple tones on the grey skin. They give it a bit of life.

 

[AndyG]

Cheers Dave praise from you is praise indeed! Looking forward to Euro? Anyway its been a highly productive day at work I haven't doen any painting here honest even though theres no one about but me ive been doing physics stuff honest yeah er been er lets think erm gravity waves that's it yes after eating large amounts of pie ive been hoola hooping and then measuring the gravity waves yes that's right In a completely unrelated mater heres some new pics of rhino boy that I did last night honest

 

[Digganob]

Wow man. He is looking rocksteady. Lets see if you catch that reference wish I could paint at work... I mean at night...when I'm suppose to have time for this stuff, but maybe that's the secret to your beautiful paint jobs... Hmmm

What the shell?!:turtle:

 

[Bailey03]

The colors in the skin are looking fantastic. Really cool.

 

[Digganob]

Hahaha. 3 points for Zab. Your tied with andyG.

 

[cassar]

would have paid good money to see the expression on your face painting that rhino's Weiner lol

 

[AndyG]

Yeah painting his todger wasn't one of the highlites of the whole experience. It's kind of like why have you put his willy out there for all to see and I don't know about you but it's a bit stupid I mean all the enemy got to do is sneak behind him and it's game over with one well placed kick?!? Anyway other than the old John Thomas the rest of the sculpt has been a joy to paint!

 

[BloodFather of Kharnath]

Digganob, where is Beebop when you need him, eh? Don't know if AndyG will catch the references as I'm not sure how popular TMNJ is over on that side of the pond.

Excellent zone of highlights going down his neck and shoulders in that side view. You pulled that off well. I hadn't noticed what was going on on the reverse side of the loin cloth. But if you are going to do that, I question why the sculptor did not use more heroic proportions. You could always do some kit bashing and borrow an elephants trunk from your Salute winner.

Maybe I need to Sculpt Beebop

 

[vmpewaith]

Really looking superb. Loving the subtlety in the skin tones.

Heroic proportions, heh.We're used to working on 28mm......it's a guy thing!

 

[Alexandra]

Great work on the skin tones. This is a very cool mini and you are doing a great job of it.

 

[Sproket]

Looks even better now! Will there be any warpaint or tatoos featuring at all?... On the mini not you, although you can if you want. In fact on reflection I think you should come to Euro in full warpaint!
