Back after 3 long years...

Some of you on this board may remember me, but most likely not lol.

To save you all a long and boring story I had to stop mini painting about 3 years due to severe pains in my neck and shoulder, which was later diagnosed as Repetitive Stress Injury. Along with starting a new family and the previously mentioned issue I wasn't able to get the focus I needed to get back to painting. Lately I have been able to start to manage the pain from RSI and find some quiet time to slowly begin to paint again.

Anyway...

Here is the piece I am working on as a bit of comeback. I have no idea the name of the mini, but it is produced by Reaper. I chose it due to some nice strong features and lack of fiddly details. I am applying the methods described in JBT's DVD and breaking away from my old bad painting habits.

He has been painted with the use of only 4 colours. VMC Deep Sea Blue, VMC Violet, VMC White and VGC Scrophulous Brown. I could go into detail on how this was achieved, but basically it boils down to mixing everything on the fly on my wet palette to achieve the results I wanted, as shown is JBT's DVD.


After that blurb here is what I have done so far. There is still plenty of touch ups to do, and a good amount of work left but I am happy with the results.

Fell free to offer any encouraging critiques, at the stage I am open to all opinions and ideas as to how to improve my technique.

Wow, four colors? That's just amazing! This might be a silly question but is the reason the armor is so shiny because it is NMM? That is the idea I have in my head of the results NMM can give?

Yes, the armor is NMM. The base colour is Deep Sea Blue highlighted to white, shaded with violet, and edged with white in the lighter areas and a mix of White and Scrophulous Brown in the darker regions.
