The bloodbowlers are getting along only a few fights here and there... oh and someone thought it was funny to lock the handling in the lockers- upside down- :/ . Everybody’s psyched to hopefully make the finals. That’s my aspirations this year. Being I saw not only the largest number of Europeans to date but some of my old friends I rem Er who are slayer sword winners will be attending- Tom Schadle , Chris borer is another rumored favorite, tony Orteza etc etc. so I’m ramping up the favorite part of the painting phases- detail work. You see it’s always a two part process with judging -1) the quick overview is what they do first , basically anything that catches their eye is moved to the actual judging round. This 2) is where they scrutinize the models on a bunch of facets- like technique, creativity, presentation, theme , composition and color choice. So I’m putting many Xtra details on each of the many details that are already in lace. I won’t tell anybody where but when the pics go up you all can have some fun finding them.;)
stay tuned.;)

Blood bowl 99% done- get ready to have your heads blown. As for the bust just started laying in shading for the sash/ cape /whatever. Btw iT was bailys idea for this type of red. IT Made much more ssense in theorie and worked out marvelously. Instead of The primary red i was goung to Use Which was like aan Apple red. Very Saturated ,Bali’s Saïd Lets get The red desaturated to show The Dried bloodstains, As iT would-be Be a bit hard to show Dries Blood in top of aan intense red. Hè advocates to cut The red with diff types of greys for The base , The schade and The highlight. This would-be stil keep iT red and not show up pink as if you were kust using whites and blacks etc etc. Brilliant Guy.View attachment 62574

Yeah, if you want a less intense color, it may seem like a good idea to add white. But a grey can create some very nice desaturated results. As I said to BAM, I try to mix in greys that have a similar light/dark value to my color. So for the basic red, ideally a medium grey. For the red highlight, a light grey. And for the red shade, a dark grey. That way you aren't changing how light or dark the color is, just how saturated it is. Also, that way you can also more easily control the saturation for the highlights and shadows too. You can decide if you want to go 50/50 color and grey for all three or perhaps you want the color to be more saturated in the shadows (75/25 color to grey) and less saturated in the highlights (25/75 color to grey). I used a similar approach on the coat for my dwarf pirate.

By the way, when I initially suggested the color shift, I was thinking how the weathering would look over the desaturated red vs the strong red. But, seeing this stage, it also contrasts very nicely with the blood on his face. I feel like that red stands out more than before. I think the new color definitely fits the piece well. Going to be a strong entry at CB to be sure!

Vampie's face has really come alive, (or as much as an undead dude's skin can). Painting skills have come a long way. Gives me hope;).
