As above, I think you will kill it.
I do hope after a few washes you will have some more darker colours, just seems a bit neutral, a lot of light colours hardly any dark.

 

[Meph]

Nice stuff there. You really have a knack for very beautiful colour tones.

 

[HooY]

Did I kill it?
Photos are taken with lumia 920 so they suck.

Tomorrow photos with my camera

 

[Zab]

Love it. A few more highlights on the rocks to make them as bright as the marine would be great.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Hmmmmmn, the thing that's not working for me is the high contrast of the marine and LOW contrast of the base.
Kinda off balances the piece to me.

 

[Canny]

Cool Hooy! you killed the marine, the base just needs some darker tones, it has the lights. Oh and a skull or 3

I quite like the high contrast marine on the low contrast base. Sure, it doesn't look realistic, but it draws the eye to the marine extremely effectively. Lovely work.

 

[HooY]

Thanks for comments!
You are right, base needs more contrast but it's too late because grass is placed and it would be really hard to paint rocks now :/

'Better' photos with camera. Camera sucks and cant take good photos of blue color Maybe in one year I will get nice camera...

I think the camera work is much better and it shows some darker edges of the base. Awesome work.

 

[HooY]

Another candy Gold isn't so yellowish. Just camera can't take good photo Everything except red and cables is highlighted to pure white

 

[Zab]

Tops! :good::good::good::good:

 

[Kretcher]

Very nice indeed, like the smurf

 

[Canny]

Nice work! I like the style.

 

[HooY]

I'm glad you like it

Working on black, what do you think? Only what I need is to do lining on black I think. NMM not done yet

 

[Zab]

Very nice!

 

[Canny]

I like the blues you have used in the black. I would push the very last highlight a touch more alternately the smallest of edge highlights just to make it pop. Love your style so I have some Q's.

Did you start with dark grey and pull your darks into the highlights leaving the grey as the highlight or start with black and go light? Did you use anyones tutorial as a reference because I have been thinking about painting a chaplain recently.

Thanks HooY

 

[Zab]

Actually, yes i would love to know your technique to get that nice shine too if you could find the time for a little tutorial or link to what inspired this lovely style you have

 

[HooY]

How did I paint that black?
airbrush:
black
highlights with airbrush:
space wolves grey + black in 99:1 proportions
spacewolves grey + white
Then with brush I do glazes with black, khorne red, hawk turquise
At last highlights with pure skull white. This is the most tricky stage because you need to know when to stop otherwise it will not look like black armor.

Sorry for my english. Im typing on mobile phone and in rush
