oistene's WIP - a mostly dead space

[bgcdazzler]

You're approaching BaM speed with these paintjobs, and the standard is really high. Great stuff.

Nice job on these guys, I too like the green on the metal. Looks very eerie and Cryx.

Now you have something new to paint!

 

[SaintToad]

Those look really cool. It looks to me like the one on the right needs those little holes in the pipes on her/its back darkened, though.
I really like them, and, yeah, that green metallic look is awesome!

 

[oistene]

Thanks peeps, they did pretty well on the table too! Arch, I pretty much use the exact same approach Demi describes in his blog: http://www.demihumanpaints.com/2015/11/skitarii-skirmish-55.html

I guess what I do here is closest to glazing or tinting. Depends on how impatient I am I use a mix of GW Waywatcher Green glaze and Lamenter Yellow glaze, first more green and later more yellow. In the last layer, I mix in a little 'Ardcoat, that returns the shine to the model, which is particularly good on metals.

Also - Toad, I think that is a reflection of the light, but I'll look into it, it is easily fixable. Flu, I saw that - I'm getting two!

 

[ArchArad]

Thanks for answering my question. It's a really effective technique on these models and I'll have to keep it in mind.

I won't buy into more Cryx, but finally a step forward from the horror of restic (and for some, metal)

 

[oistene]

New project! It's all about the Cryx.... no living.

Crazy speed! Nice stuff Ole.

 

[Digganob]

Oist your like a war machine yourself. Your always painting things lol.

 

[oistene]

Painting keeps my shit together, Digga! No job, no wife, all that remains is paint paint paint! It sounds awful, but I actually feel better than in a long time.

 

[oistene]

Fast approaching final stages here! Just need to add some of that Cryx glow, I'm also going to see if I can take advantage of the sub par cast and use it as battle damage.

Sorry to here about that bud. Unless your happy for all of it, in which case i am happy for you lol. Whatever the case i hope things work out and you can keep on pumping out awesome minis.

 

[oistene]

Well, mostly it is for the better. I do at least hope the unemployment ends soon, lots of time to paint is good but lack of money is bad. Haven't been able to secure any commissions the last few weeks either, might have to work a little on that. The singularity isn't a problem, no woman = lots of time for me.

Not happy with that picture, though, better post a new one later today.

 

[oistene]

When I'm posting a picture anyway, why not post some of the finished mini!

That thing looks fantastic

 

[Digganob]

Oh that is awesome, the little girl hiding behind the wall really makes that guy look more menacing.

 

[Maenas]

Great job on this one Oistene! I specially like the hidden girl, it gaves a last nice touch.

 

[ArchArad]

That little girl almost steals the show - as Digga says, she makes the mech seem even more menacing.
