Lone Lemming's WIP

Looking fantastic! Great work!

This is looking so cool. Kudos for going outside your comfort zone to resolve the missing pieces. Blender is something I would like to tackle. I just can't wrap my mind around the initial interface screen, so intimidating.

 

[Lone Lemming]

Thank, all of you!

Meanwhile I translated the Blitz Bowl rules to hungarian, and some little side project, a small Dark Elves team.

Something was not OK within the GW team, each of the minis consisted of 8-12 pieces, the Witch Elf had a standalone thumb piece!
They could not make all the shoulder pats or buttocks made from one piece, however. So a simple color scheme:

Simple but good color scheme.

Thanks, Krethcer!

Here is some more work on the Skaven team from my backlog. I could not really take photos of them, the minis were painted disassembled:

Finally glazed (as this is not a real paint, transparent as hell) over with the phtalo green, gave a beautiful green shine.

Your Blood Bowl team will look great on the table. Very nicely done.

 

[Lone Lemming]

Thanks, Bear!

Still working on my backlog, after the skavens I started some simple classic project, namely Nocturna, just to have fun.

Starting with skin colors, they were done with (if I remember well)
- VMC 70.928 Light Flesh
- VMC 70.835 Salmon Rose
- VMC 70.803 Brown Rose
- 1:1 mix of VMC 70.960 Violet:VMC 70.950 Black

Somehow I couldnot paint the eyes, had to return to them later. :bulgy-eyes:

 

[ekipage]

I really like the skin tone you have started on her

 

[Lone Lemming]

Thanks, eki!

Continued with the skirt, tried to paint it with VMC 70.808 Green Blue, but the paint separated in the bottle, and could not push the same shade twice out of it. :sad:

I was convinced to buy some overpriced Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Cobalt Teal, had about the same shade, seems to be a good idea to stick with single pigment colors.
Shaded with 1:1 mix of VMC 70.960 Violet:VMC 70.950 Black, highlighted with Schmincke Primacryl Titanium White.
Rose is Liquitex Heavy Body Acrylic Naphtol Red Light, was trying to find some available replacement for Kimera Red :smile:

Nice work! I like her hair, and the cloth too, looks great!

 

[Lone Lemming]

Thanks gorb!

Here is the almost finished mini, I think the eyes still need some attention, and will add some vegetation, but this was just a quick, plain and simple paintjob.

Still working on backlog, started painting my First Legion Female Warrior.

Tried to work with pure pigments, face is
- Base color is ~3:2 Schmincke PrimAcryl Titanium White:Schmincke PrimAcryl Cadmium Orange
- Highlighted with ~8:1 Schmincke PrimAcryl Titanium White:Schmincke PrimAcryl Vanadium Yellow Deep
- Shaded with ~1:1 Schmincke PrimAcryl Cadmium Orange:Schmincke PrimAcryl Quinacridone Magenta, with a dip of black
- Shaded with ~1:1 Schmincke PrimAcryl Quinacridone Magenta:VMC 70.950 Black

Tried to by some artist acryl black, but somehow they were not up to the task, VMC seemed much better.

Hair is
- Base color is ~1:1 Schmincke PrimAcryl Titanium White:Schmincke PrimAcryl Quinacridone Magenta
- Highlighted with white, shaded as above

Interesting, are you using the pigments dry, or adding them to a medium?

 

[Lone Lemming]

I ment that these paints contain only one kind of pigment, e.g. they will not separate from each other.

 

[ekipage]

Vampire looks really nice there. That new figure (at least the head) is looking amazing!

 

[Lone Lemming]

Thanks, eki!

Here is the body,
- Legging(?) is done with Liquitex Heavy Body Burnt Umber, shaded with Magenta:Black, highlighted with White. This is a beautiful and rich reddish brown color, you really should have one.
- Boot is ~1:2 mix of VMC Blue:Black, highlighted with Liquitex Heavy Body Cobalt Teal

The colors are fantastically vibrant! I bought some (purer pigment) Golden heavy body acrylics, and combined with FW inks I am starting to use a smaller number of paints but mixing a lot more, and it is fascinating.
Looking forward to more of this!
