Got a Lil more done this morn about another 2hrs. Sticking with the basics of color theory 1)for ever dark color there's a light 1 for color contrasts and spot colors making verticle or inverted triangles.. Also used alot of analogous colors on this model(colors that are next to each other on the wheel, in the same family of color tones if you will!)

 

[BloodASmedium]

A lLil bit of a clearer shot.

The minis left leg. I do not see it in the latest photos, so it may have been a picture issue.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Just so you know it was an issue that I may have overlooked otherwise if you hadn't mentioned it!!! Thanks a ton krule as it needs to be perfect for this type of competition!!! So I thank you whole heatedly for the extra set of brilliant eyes.

 

[Digganob]

Where the **** are his arms?!? Lol driving me crazy.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Ll I paint in sections before I fasten anything you don't understand how frustrating it can be when you fully build a model only to find out you can't get your brush into hard to reach areas....then you have to snap it all apart and at that point things get broken...I get upset....and then the structural integrity of the model is tested as I give him free flying lessons across the room....:/ it's driving me nuts as well its called cedric the disabled saxon....

 

[BloodASmedium]

When you reach for the stars you can fall short but at least catch the moon!! Iow don't ever let anyone tell you you can't do something when all you need is a Lil faith in yoself and the big man upstairs!!! Stay tuned keep the faith folks!!!

 

[BloodASmedium]

[Digganob]

MUAHAHA you are just evil.

 

[Teronus]

Weathering is something I had never really approach, the truth is I have no choice to think about it now.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Truth is ter when a style develops it's a combination of a few basic skills and what we know as artists like the back of our hands... I've worked countless hours trying to focus on a realistic approach when painting my plan was start with a basis an idea then run it many different ways but all involving the same tricks 1)color variation at random puts of the model eg would be rust on metal work or scratches but I can use the same thing on let's say leather or fur 2 puts is scratches and flecos along with some tone variations it's the same thing I use on a killerr kanNs armor that I do on worun leather and that is my style always surfaces of wear and tear ,discoloration through tone variation and a few scratches goes a long way in telling a battle hardened story...you'll see it on every sing one of my models..if you ever need help you can look at how I weather netaL in my earlier posts of my w I p on my orks from there it's the same techniques of weathering on anything and everything...it's as easy as that ..now to get it subtle and believable well I can show you that too...it's a style that's been very good to me and is my signature.I'm always only too happy to share them as well in a step by step method that a 12 year old can grasp.

 

[Teronus]

Man thanks a million, I will for sure soon read it and ask you questions.

 

[BloodASmedium]

NY time at all jocelyn and I mean anytime at all.)

 

[Bailey03]

It's nice to watch your progress on this historical (or historical-ish) figure. Good job with all that hair, you've got some nice depth to it. I'm glad there will be more good entries to the historical category at Crystal Brush!

 

[Digganob]

Don't forget to commend him on his unique approach to an armless Viking lol. Ok I'm done with the armless jokes.

 

[BloodASmedium]

I'm do glad you like it baily my goal is just to compete but not just show up with entries ..but to actually have the judges a bit stumped on who to give the crystal brushes too...so if by this your telling me it's a good enough entry from your perspective baily (I'm blessed that you like it) then I'm very thankful to get that from you baily as your basically one of my painting gods...and God no one does the historical models like you ....your a clear first Placer in my book...in the end I'm happy enough your letting me know I can be seen as an actual good competitor ...thank you so so much Mr baily....I'm fforever thankful..

I may not have the time to get my painting skill notched up to tell you guys how ti adjust things, but i can at least point out things that seem odd. Knowing the level you are going for it is the least i can do and different sets of eyes see different things.

The lighting in the last picts are top notch...and do i see hints of red freehand on the back of the butt cape? Awesome.
