Very good moe. They fit really well as a group where you've used the same colour pallet throughout, but also have there own unique look through individuality you've added. Awesome !

Nice picts ;). These turned out great. The green tint of the brown on the base really sells it as a mining dust over everthing to me.

Well, I finished the roman bust I started forever ago. KB was cracking the whip on me. The wip pics didnt turn out very well so I'm not going to bother. The finished pics aren't too bad though.









How's he look?

Very nice. Some day i need to try some historic busts. A little intimidating at this point as i feel i can muck up a fantasy figure and it is not a big deal, but am paranoid about getting historical inaccuracies in "real" subjects.

I found its pretty damn hard doing something that size without an airbrush, but brush or air it looks great.

Looks good! That photo looks over-exposed to me though.

You really got the blonde tone, which I find to be a real PITA. Super cool! Maybe he's from Germania... I love how little things like that start to tell a story. One of my favorite things about mini painting.

Going up to a bust scale is a huge leap in stylistic change and I'm going to have to point something out which I hope you won't take offence at but the Nasal/Cheek creases are far to dark. In fact they look almost like there's Black mixed into the skin tone.

Having looked at a lot of bust painting recently the major thing on all of them I've seen is the closeness to the reality of human facial variation of skin that exists in real people.
Faces vary a lot, there are tones of pink, purple, green and yellow, not to mention reds and blues.
His face looks very "one tone" in those photographs.

Thanks guys!

@KB- It's your bust, do it how you want. Honestly I just went by what my minds eye thought it should look like.

@Digg- I airbrushed the silver metals, the rest is brush work.

@Demi- I put some red in his beard a bit too. It probably is over exposed, I'm terrible with photography :)

@DR- I am highly offended! No, just kidding. Any advice that is constructive is always welcome DR, that's how I will get better. I see what you mean about the black in the crinkles, it's actually a really dark brown. I should have probably tried some other colors instead of going from brown to a progressive lighter brown on the nose and cheeks. I've collected a few busts now, so I will have to practice once I get some other stuff on the WIP table done. I appreciate the advice!

4 months since last post. I'm turning into Krulebear :) I've done stuff just not taken any pics till recently. Started working on my wolves, been a long time coming...

Primed and stuff.


doing the oil paint shading on these guys.




And after the clean up



Got this for almost nothing, and I just thought i'd do it up really quick and maybe experiment with pigments and stuff.




I'm also working on a few garage kits also, mainly a Betty Page for my Ex-Supervisor. Great guy, but the company I work for is full of nitwits and dumb-shits that think they are the center of the galaxy. He was my 15th in the last 5 years if that tells you anything.

Anyways more soon.
