Been playing around with a GW Abomination, some things left, some blacklining where it is needed, black parts in figure, claws and skin in legs and feet is still not done and part of the weapon is still left. Please leave critique on areas you think I can change to make the piece better.
Wow, don't know where to start: the corrupted flesh is spot on, the metal looks great, the yellow cloth is amazing, the rust effects are spot on.
Sorry but no critique. Maybe the hammer head is too clean? hah!
Should add kind of finished figure pic taken with my SLR instead of the phone camera.
Thanks gorb worked the most with the skin areas.
These show a bit more the reality, quality between tabletop plus and competition. Put most efforts into colors of skin but not worked so much with transitions in all areas.
Regarding the use of oil paints...
What do you feel is the greatest benefit to using them instead of the normal acrylics?
What are some of the struggles that you have had to overcome because of the oils?
The idea of using oils, solely, really intrigues me; the realism that the Renaissance Masters were able to accomplish seems like something that could be really useful on larger scale busts/minis.
Kind of to much to do at work so the painting mojo for the painting of the wood elves guys for underworlds dried out, I kind of finished them so that I can play with them atleast.
These look amazing! Bright, vivid colors.
Any chance we can get some photos with a white background? The dark background makes it all look very atmospheric, and suits the paint job, but it does obscure half the models
Thanks guys, will take a pic with brighter background when they are home again. a friend borrowed them to play some :smile:
I have started a new project, one of many. this time aiming for more towards comepetition painting, we will see if I have the inspiration the whole way :smile: Sculp is Lucas Pinas satyr´s. Started on it yesterday and here are two pics. Mostly worked on the faces but still a lot left to do.
First pic mostly worked on the lightskined and second one done more on the other figure.
Why only work on one project? I am also trying out oils on a bigger bust, but currently having some problems with the fine details. I want her to look old and I cant get that to work with oils yet. I will try some other stuff. Will let you know if I find a good way to do it. View attachment 74415
