Paintingness looks spanky :p :D
I\'m still not sure what it IS he\'s holding that torso BY... Is it skin or hair or some weird head-tentacle thing? lol

Why\'s he picking on that poor tentacled guy. He\'s totally armless...

Anyway, I like what you\'ve done so far. A very nice(?) sickly look to the torso.

it needs more of a pink added to it. take a look at some really light colored trollbloods done on here and see how the color is used in that way....

need both constructive critique and feedback on that part...

Hey Larre, nice start on the painting :)
Superb demon/dead thing, contrasts nicely with the dingy red of his jerkin.
As for the eyes - I agree with you, they aren\'t up to scratch at the moment.

Get some more paint on it you slacker! lol

Cheers,
Tom

thankss tom, acually, I have loads of more paint on it, but it just turned out to become a bloody mess :(

I\'ll have some pics up this afternoon of what it looks like, and then I REALLY need replies, and what you think I can do better on it.. I\'m actually not happy with it at all... exept for the demon :(

I\'d give him a palor look, maybe working more with greys and purples, just to help amplifying the \"dark side\". And might I add that a bit of shading around the eyes might do the trick for mr Blue-eye there ;)

okay, so this is what I\'ve done.. I\'m not pleased with this at all! almost imbaresed to show this actually :(

okay, so I need extreme advice on this one.. I\'m sooo close on giving up on him :( and I don\'t want to do that :(

I\'m not very experienced, but to me the whole composition looks really dark.

Noticing that there\'s a lot of stuff still primer black, I\'m curious how it\'ll look if things are brightened up with those. I don\'t really have any specific suggestions on what to do since I\'m so inexperienced, but I think a brightening of the rest of the composition might do the trick.

Also since your focus is an imperial navy pilot turning to chaos, perhaps the chaos emblem might should be your focal point.

Again these are just amateur suggestions, but you seem like you\'re screaming for help so I thought I\'d throw what I had out there. :)

even amateur questions are good, often even the best :)

anyways, I might not have made it clear enough, but this is a imperial navy pilot mini that turns to the dark side... but only miniature wise... it actually is a blood pact icon bearer that I have converted FROM a imperial navy pilot.

you have a point about the darkness on this mini.. I will look it over :)

Hey Larre, there looks to be some nice elements to the piece but I think that everything is painted in distinctly different colours...the demonhost is blue and the clothes red...and then the banner is green...you need to link the tones together and you also need complementary colours in there aswell...I don\'t think the painting is quite as bad as you think, but what I would say is that the base doesn\'t look good atm...the snow makes it look messy and I don\'t understand why some of it is blue and the lower half of his left trouser leg is too? ???

In the end, you need to judge what\'s good and what\'s not in the flesh - photographs arenot always realistic representations of what the mini is truly like...I would say though that the face needs to \'pop\' out a bit more - at the minute there are two focal points and they are the brightest bits - the shiny metal and the demonhost. You need to centre the focus on him rather than his \'gear\'.

This has the potential to be a really nice model so don\'t give up on it yet!!! :)

Hope I was some help :)

Cheers,
Tom
