Hahaha - Andy you've caught me there I didn't plan on that happening, honest! Somehow you've played a Jedi mind trick on me!

It happens. That NMM stuff is insidious. After I tried it I accidentally did a cold steel NMM on a Fianna's impossible bra.

This weekend I spent painting with good friends in the Rafa / John Weekend workshop. Rather than doing more of the red I decided to do something different. The workshop was fantastic once again - lots of help, knowledge and understanding gained. Thanks John for organising and Rafa for being super helpful!

 

[Digganob]

Looks like you still managed to get some red in there. Very jealous if you to. I need some workshops over in Florida.

Looking good John, super contrast as usual. Ive noticed how all the minis you have been painting lately look like you. :curl-lip:

 

[megazord_man]

They say a dog looks like it owner - or is it the other way round. First time I heard it said of miniatures

Liking this new piece, very charactiful

Here's some bling bling I've been working on today (and previous days of course!)

I know it makes no sense but as your adding more panels, it makes the panels you already painted look even better. Fantastic John

 

[Digganob]

He looks like he is wearing a red bra. Lol. Nothing to do with you or your painting mega, you are spot on and who am I to tell a painting god otherwise, but now that you painted him and the details of the sculpt pop out.....

 

[Zab]

Dude! It's called a Manzier - or possibly a Bro. Don't listen to Digga he's drunk on power after winning a giant dragon from WGS (this is the only place where a sentence like that doesn't sound crazy). Nice painting good sir, nice painting.

 

[Digganob]

LMAO, good point Zab.

Today I managed to get some more painting done and I'm finally starting to understand the red a little more. Its still not easy for me but at least it's faster than before.

Fantastic looking and yes red is difficult but I have too say I like yours very much. When looking at it it seems you are using a combination of violet/purple and some black for the shading and you are using White? for highlighting?

The face is really nice nothing else to say.

[megazord_man]

No purple, violet or black just yet - only dark green for the shading! For the highlight I've been using a flesh tone glazed over with some of the red mid tone colour. Then spiced up with the Scale 75 red ink. Oh and a final tiny spot of very light pink.

Nice result, thanks for sharing what you are using for your red.

Yep looking mighty fine! I think some pale blue glowing lights would go very well as a spot colour on this one.

 

[megazord_man]

I think might just happen Andy

Here we are today with some close ups -
