Jasons wip

[jason]

hi guys i finally got to do some painting over the last couple of nights (we are trying to finish the house renos off so we can put it on the market in spring so i have no spare time

) it is my first warjack and i am trying to give it a well used look still have a lot more to do on the weathering i am also going to make the engine very dirty and sooty ,also does anyone know how to do grease ond oil stains? i was thinking off giving it a power weapon(lightning effect) but i dont know if it will go with the heavy weathered look i am trying to achieve .any thoughts would be appreciated.
thanks jason

Hi Jason,

As I said in my email, its a very good start.

 

[Meph]

Aye! Rusty & crusty, I like!

 

[SkelettetS]

wow very cool, that rusty weatherbeaten metallic is excellent!

 

[freakinacage]

i think the osl might work, it'll break up the mini

 

[SkelettetS]

by giving the power weapon osl it will most certain become the focal point though as the model is very dull. make osl at the "eyes" instead!

MIG produces an awesome oil/grease effect mix which i use very much in my painting, can really recomend that.

 

[jason]

thanks for the feedback guys i tried the power weapon but didnt like it so back to the drawing board
@skellettets im going with your osl at the eyes it is looking much better and thanks for the tip on the mig oil/grease i have some on order I will post some pics asap
thanks jason

Looks good I like the hand holding the weapon, the transitions from paint to rust to metal look cool there.

 

[cassar]

i agree a really intense osl at the eyes seems just the ticket. Nice job.

 

[jason]

hi guys managed to get a bit more done let me know what you think
cheers jason

 

[Meph]

I like, makes him look nice & menacing.

 

[TomasP]

Yeah - I like this... How did you go about your weathered look?

 

[cassar]

i would try and blend it a little more on the very outside edge of the chin guard eyes are as stated menacing

thanks for all the ideas guys here is some more work on the mini that i have done anyideas would be appriciated also I still dont know weather to do the base in dark colours or light?
thanks jason

 

[Kretcher]

Hi there Jason, I think that I would go for a ligther base since the figure is darker. But first I would try to think on where is he, what kind of surroundings and why and from there create the mode light or dark that is needed for the "story" of your figure.

hey guys i did a bit more i sat the figure on the base so you could get a feel for it i am not 100% on the colours for the base any ideas would be appreciated
thanks jason

 

[cassar]

hmmm like it nice subtle blending not so sure about the grey tree tho.

 

[SkelettetS]

i would probably cut in some blue in the picture, perhaps tinting the leafs and some shade on the bottom of the tree and the base.

 

[jason]

ok i have reworked the base to a more autumn style (didnt know what to use for snow :eyeroll!: ) still have to work the leaves a bit more and add a few grass clumps as for the mini i was going to push the highlights (on top of sleeve and were hand is holding staff) a little more :dont-know: any thoughts on the changes would be appreciated
thanks jason
