SirJD\'s WIP Thread (Updated 26/3/07)

[SirJD]

Hey everyone,
My giant finally arrived afew days ago and i spent a while deciding whether to make him chaos or chaos nurgle, as you can see i finally decided on nurgle. Im quite happy with how the sculpting/converting finished up, considering this is my first attempt at proper sculpting, and i can actually see myself finishing him.

Ive added afew nurglings to the base ( a couple of them are fighting over lunch) and ive sculpted warts and wounds onto the giant himself as well as a \"Mark of Nurgle\" hanging from the chain around his neck.

As always feedback and constructive criticism are welcome

PS: Any ideas on a colour scheme welcome too.

Hey again,
I’ve started work on the base, mainly just early WIP at the moment. This is the most fun I’ve had painting in a while

All feedback and improvements welcome

This is looking great. I love the giant kit, its open to so many different conversion and painting possibilitys.

Hey there! Everything looks great so far; may I ask what colours you used to paint the base?

 

[SirJD]

Thanks for all the comments guys, ill have more pics tomorrow.

@AinuLainour- Thanks for your interest I dont acutally use GW paints, i use some unknown brand of artist paints but i can match them pretty closely to GW colours.
The main colour would be Commando Khaki (sp?) drybrushed on first, then i added Goblin Green to make a sick green colour which i drybrushed on certain spots. I then added a small amount of Blazing Orange, and drybrushed this around the green.
Finally i added a small amount of white to each colour and drybrushed this on top (e.g. white added to the green, then this colour drybrushed onto the green).
Hope this helps

thanks again,
SirJD

very nice work.. the base is looking very very good.. cant wait to see more

 

[SirJD]

hi again,
thanks for all the comments. The base had an unfortunate accident today ( some unnamed person dropped it ) but not too much damage was done (only the nurgles need re-glueing) so i should have some more pics tomorrow.

[AinuLainour]

Interesting colours in the base, they came together for a great overall feel.

Thank you!

Hi again,

SirJD

Hi again,

all comments and improvements welcome,
SirJD

Like the base, and the overall sculpt so far - but it seems the ground of the base, the broken cart wheel and the nurglings are all very similar in colour...

 

[Larre]

some blood on the goat would be good (I don\'t know the name of the animal... or is it a goat?? ???)

[SirJD]
