Give it time. I find that sometimes, one off posts are slow to garner comments. Post WIPs for yourself, the comments will come.

Its looking good so far. As you said, it's very early WIP. Keep it up, looking forward to your next post.

Looking not bad but kinda flat. Try pushing the contrast on the green like using a dark brown to darken the it and a yellow to highlight. If you use the brown from the bone bits then it will link it all together.

Those retro Nurgle minis look tough as old boots! Nice work on it though, I always think it must be difficult to keep things distinct on them

It looks better and better . It depends honestly where your looking to stop . Some folks increase highlights up to white with many intermediate layers in between. If it’s for the TT ide recommend to stop where you think it looks good enough. A common routine is that display painters go up to white or white mixed into their highest skin highlights at that point if it looks to white they glaze a general glaze over the entire skin surface to being the color back it. If your looking to improve than try these things out. It’s the only way to gain experience.;)

Looking much better already!

It's really scary pushing highlights up, as you think you might ruin your hard work. I constantly have to force myself to do it and I still don't take it far enough.

Exacly, i used a super bright almost neon green to highlight as the other darker greens just didn't do anything. I was scared about the crappy look, so tested on a small part of the model and it work pretty well. There are still some parts I need to hit with that highlight, but I don't want to push it much higher as I like it like this. Then will need to finish all the details :)

Any tips to make the eyes evil looking?

Did a bit more work on it yesterday.

Do you prefer the Saliva or Blood version?

Also tried some rusting effect (just some orange with lots of water in the recesses, I don't have any fancy rust pigment stuff):

Also tried something on the base, with some paint under a coat of PVA glue, but I am not super happy about it after seeing it fully dry this morning.

The green kinda disolved on the rock edges making the neon green dissapear :( Anyway I can salvage this?

you could always try painting the neon green over the top it then using a gloss varnish to make it shiny and liquid looking

Good save on the base. I think the saliva looks better than the blood. If you are still looking for some color pop, perhaps fluorescent greet saliva ;)

I'll keep the blood. I like it and didn't like the saliva as I couldn't really see it. Also, the glue dried a bite white and not transparent so it was a bit weird.

Need to finish off the base now.

In the meantime, look what finally arrived!

No more excuses for crappy blending :)

Last night I finally opened my June edition of White Dwarf (didn't even finish reading the May edition...) and came across this picture:

This is part of a piece by Robin McLeod, you all probably know him for his Golden Demon entries, but me being still a noob had never heard of him. I though 'wow this is exactly what I had in minde when I did my base', but of course my execution is nowhere near as good.

I tried this product below to give a bit more texture to the nurgle pool, but it dries kinda flat.

I found Robin on Facebook and sent him a message to see if he would be kind enough to share his recipe. In the meantime, do you guys have any tips on how to achieve the wave like structure?
