Impressive work my friend love the back pack tmm looking great and the blues really help with the finish. Impressed with your work, always improving.

 

[Darthmarsh]

Great metal work on the rocket pack and breast plate dude.

Thanks for comments

IN regards to the heramodel I am generaly happy with it except the eyees and underside of nose that I dont like the sculpt.

The underside of the nose just seem to be in a hurry to finish it instead of just fixing some of the detail, some other places on the figure are also bit "roughly" sculpted but it suits the figure there, in this place it is a little bit too much. But it is underside of nose so not that visible.

The eyes are to far into the head and the eyelid is way to thick for it to be natural, either I got a figure where the eye globes became to small in the casting or the eyes in my opinion should have been sculpted better (bigger), on the picture of the painting from Diego it is not visiable but the angel of the photo also hides the area that I am irritated with.

In any case just wanted you too know my opinion regarding those part. I am still looking forward to paint this one and practice skintones in a new way that I hope will work out good

Hi all,

I am wondering if any of you out here have attended to Meg maples or Roman from massive voodoo classes. Both of them are giving courses this year in Sweden and I am not sure I can make both of them.

If you have attended one of them I would appreciate if you could leave some comments what you liked/disliked about the diffrent courses.

Thanks.

Depends on what you want to learn. Meg teaches 2 brush blending and Roman teaches wet on wet. Which would you like to learn more or improve in?

 

[oistene]

I knew about Meg's class but not Roman. I've been considering it, money is a bit short but maaaaybe I can make it work. Can you get me the details on Roman, Kretcher?

 

[Kretcher]

Oistene - The Roman one is properly closer to you it is in Arvika. https://www.facebook.com/events/588251318000020/

Zab - Well I use both techniques today and mainprupose is to get some more in depth feedback on how i work and to improve it.

 

[Zab]

Well then use class size or workshop length to determine it. I would go to whichever is a smaller class size, or longer duration because you will have more one on one time and more direct instruction

 

[Kretcher]

Hi all some NMM problems, pointers to what can be improved is greatly appreciated.

Sadly I have yet to attempt the madness that is NMM. So I shall leave it to those far wiser than myself to render assistance.

 

[Zab]

Good start. MOAR CONTRAST!!!! MOAR!!!!!! Find pics of similar shapes on line and keep them on hand for ref

 

[ten ball]

Ive VERY briefly photoshopped a version on how I would build up the contrast. Its just a start but you get the idea

Ahh that is why your NMM looks so good you use photoshop Thanks Ten very nice pointers on what too do.

 

[Digganob]

LOL your secret is out Ten.

 

[Kretcher]

Some more done, need to soften the transitions on the glove some more and the shoulder needs a little mor work on the lower part. but think it looks better now.

[BloodASmedium]

Nice job so far man...ten balls idea is really fantastic ,that's really clear cut what to do.i do not know much about NMM but imho I do feel it needs more contrast but you probably know that.so just restating the obvious it's a fantastic piece off to a good start so I'll check in and see this thing words completion buddy.
