[Larre\'s WIPs] - Updated 12/04! Troll sculpt is finnished!! :D

[Larre]

okay, it\'s been a while since the last update, I had some schoolwork to do, but I have managed to get quite a heavy update now... I still have alot of cleaning to do, and it\'s far from finnished, I have spent about 2-3 hours on the base so far, but there is more to come

I really hope you like it ^^

looking up the mini on the GW-site I must say... I think you have done the mini far more justice than the \'evy metal team! great job! keep it up.

/Zap

 

[Larre]

thx

it\'s inspired by rolljordan\'s version of the mini
that is one of the best painted eldars I know of

Eugh.. what an ugly model!!

The GW model that is
As ZapotekE said, I checked the model too.. and boy, that is one ugly model (painting scheme)!

But yours! Man, that\'s looking good. I really like the blue armour. The symbol on the left banner is looking good, but some of the flames look like they are unfinished?

IMO the gold needs to be more highlighted, but that\'s just a matter of opinion.
Keep up the work! Can\'t wait for another update!!

 

[Larre]

I think that there is nothing wrong with th model itself, but GW\'s paint job wasn\'t too good,

I have finnished the mini btw. you can see it in this link

I really like the gems you\'ve painted on the elf and the eldar. Also, the eyes on the elf were just fantastic!

 

[Larre]

thx

I have realised that my painting style fits better to high elves and eldar than to Orks for exemple.

I\'m doing an orc at the moment, I might post some pics of it later

[Larre]

hi Guys!

I have baught a new mini, I really know that orks doesn\'t fit my painting style, I prefer clean and a bit bright minis atm. but it will be really intresting to see how this mini turns out

I have done a conversion on the Warboss, I was a bit scared about it at first since I have never converted a metal mini before (as I did now)

I sculpted the piersing in his lip with GS. I also sculpted a wound on his left side and a small link on the chain,

as you can see I removed the squig. that little fella will appear later

I really hope you like it

Jeeze Larre, your painting just gets better and better. Yriel is superb and this ork looks well nice. The weathering on his helmet is superb!

Really will have to pay a lot more attention to your posts in future!

 

[lono]

It\'s about time you moved on from those poncy pointy ears and painted something proper! He\'s looking cool so far. Keep it up!

 

[Jericho]

Good choice, it\'s fun to change up your style once in a while. I really enjoy shifting gears seemingly at random from time to time. I\'m even painting the odd bit of the dreaded freehand these days after a long and blissful trial separation... I know. What\'s the world coming to?

 

[Larre]

hehehe, I hope it will turn out good

I think I might be able to have another small update tonight, but I have alot of school work to do, and I am doing a sculpting commision for a friend.

I am sculpting a troll hunter from WoW for his birth day... so I might post some progress on that in the near future aswell

anyway, I\'m glad that you like what I have done so far

// Larre

 

[Sleepybear]

Really like it!! Can\'t find anything wrong on the model here, really like that you have picked up the metallic paints again

The piercing looks kinda strange to me though, but... the models isn\'t finished yet!!

 

[Larre]

okay, I have an update for you now!

I haven\'t fixed the pics any (simply because the pics are too many´, and plus that is shows what the pic really looks like)

lets start with the warboss...

and now... the commision for a friend (not really a commision.. more like a birth day gift)


I haven\'t made any possition on the arms yet, I still need some pics from my friend

that was qite a big update with some new stuff aswell, I hope you like it and comment

I\'m not a fan of the green checks on a mini with so much green already.

The look rather good, and would probably work great on a model with less ork flesh.

 

[Larre]

less green you say... hmm, I think that is a good choise, I myself think that it has been a bit \'overloaded\' with green.

I will work on it toay

// Larre

 

[Thecadian]

yep i agree with gilvan the green checks are a litttle to much as it takes away from the skin.

Looking really good though

 

[Larre]

man... this is creative times for me!

I have like three projects going on at the same time!

I have the warboss as you know, the sculpt as you also know. but I thought I should try stripping a mini, and it was quite effective, now I might not have to buy new minis every two weeks

anyway, now I have some progress on the warboss. I repainted the green chess patterned straps. I think it looks better now.

and my latest started project... an NMM dwarf lord!

I realized that the Yriel mini I painted (on page 3 in this WIP) was very teaching. NMM painting is much easier now!

I hope you like it so far.
