Scott vs Blood Bowl-First Lineman

[ScottRadom]

Here\'s the first for my team...

I\'m pretty happy with how some of the color blending turned out. a step up for me I think. Advice so far has been...

-Highlight the skin more
-Vary the metal colors more

And I\'ll take that into the rest of the team.

Thanks!

My favourite game and my favourite race!

Love it! Great job!

Be sure to update when the other 15 get added to the roster

Kudos for the white line. It amuses me and looks good!

I like that skin! It\'s got a greasy orc feel to it!

 

[Ebonbuddha]

Nice. I like Blood Bowl too. I Have the Nun team from Shadow Forge, and Ogre team (GW), a Goblin team and a wood elf team.

Hey, thanks guys! So far not doing great in the scoring dept. but I\'m happy with it, I learned something from it, and the next ones will be better.

Thanks again for the comments amigo\'s! I\'d love to see some more Blood Bowl stuff around here. I found this to be a great \"relaxation\" piece. Hard to take a fig for this game real serious, if that makes any sense.

It is just me, but I am having a hard time imagining orcs (orks?) in white pads...

Ha, yeah. I maybe coulda tried some weathering to beat them up a little more but I wanted to spend this project focusing on my blending and some of the basic techniques before I take on some more challenging techniques.

The actual red/white scheme is from the old days of blood bowl and the big Orc team was the \"Gouged Eye\" and this was their scheme. I really wanted to do something original, or even base it off an existing NFL team but I just sort of drew a blank, and ripped off someone elses idea.

like what i see here scott. you\'ve inspired me to dig out my orc bloodbowl team and finish painting it :beer:

Voted..

 

[Backstabbeth]

Voted. The reds may need some highlighting too. think its more than a 5.5 but it could go higher.

Well done!

Thanks guys! Regardless of the score of the model I think it was an enormous step up in the learning curve. Some of the blends came off okay, and it\'s a clear to me looking at the finished result I acheived that I was really just layering before rathering then trying to work on blending.

edit- Thanks for the comments Backstabbeth!
I\'m not calling it an 8+ performance or anything, but I am pleased enough with the model to be optimistic about the process. Happy times! There\'s not very much metal on the model (Thank Christ!) but I think it turned out better as well. It was about 4hrs start to finish and I am looking forward to the rest. Polished off a Blitzer yesterday afternoon so It\'s going well. Fun times!
