Cygnar Bloke Strikes Heroic Pose

First mini for a while. I decided to get the metallics out and have a play for a change. I\'ve definitely developed a preference for true metallic... it\'s strangely satisfying to paint with. Anyway, here is the fruit of my labour. All C&Cs welcome as usual!

I really like this guy. The base you\'ve placed him on looks great too, did you scratch it up yourself? I also like the striped pants: first I\'ve seen on a cygnar model.

In the way of constructive criticism: I\'d like to see a bit more contrast in the different colors of your metals (ie the shoulderpads a darker bronze color to contrast more with the weathered iron look of the main body armor). Same thing with those parts that aren\'t metal: the shirt sleeves for instance could have been a shade of blue to match the other cloth and offset the relatively light colored metals pretty well. The only other thing would be the little OSLs on the sword. I\'m not an OSL expert by any means but they aren\'t working for me for some reason. I think that the highlights/lowlights might be reversed...like maybe they should be almost white in the middle and then that teal blue on the outside edges. I\'m not sure though...Shawn could probably set me straight on that.

Anyway, 8 for me.

The brickwork is a slab of plaster with the mortar courses scratched in then painted watercolour style with really thinned paint. :)

All and all its just another brick in the wall.



And somehow metallics just seem so...satisfying when they are well done, and they are!

Great job once again!

It\'s funny, but the brick wall is almost TOO real. It pulls my eye away from the mini... which by the way looks really nice.

Great work on the face, nice blends. The metallics look really solid as well.

Good stuff.
