SkelettetS wip

[Ritual]

Good start, Skel! I haven't started yet, but my supplies arrived yesterday, so I should be able to get started in the next couple of days.

 

[Meph]

Indeed, that's some lovely skin already!

 

[me_in_japan]

Lovely start there I really like the brightness of the head compared to the rest of him. Looking forward to see how he darkens up as you proceed

 

[SkelettetS]

cheers folks! and i hope you got your gears together Ritual!

time for some mid-time pics, comming to life! just started out marking shades of the legs, but not much done there... got 2+ weeks left sort of, gah!

...think i take the day off...

 

[ischa]

wow! really liking this mini! and really liking your skintones, which i could do them that way!

 

[jools]

Wow, the flesh tones are fantastic. Its really interesting to see these pics, as they have made me consider painting from a white undercoat for the first time. Cracking job, i will be following your progress with interest

Great skin, very nice

 

[Ritual]

Stop being so quick!! :curse!: But it does look marvellous! I wish I get the chance to see it in real life eventually.

My rhino is at least fully assembled, puttied and sanded. Ready for primer. I've caught a rather annoying cold, so haven't really been in shape to paint, but I hope to start this week (I bloody well NEED to, if I should have any chance of finishing in time). Seeing your progress is inspiring.

Like the closeup pics, gives me a chance at cracking your technique

Loving the variation in skin tone. That, and your usual superb placement of light and shade is really selling this mini to me. I feel a 10 coming on...

Actually, now I really have this urge to paint something with skin...(most everything I do is eldar of some kind, or cryx. Not a lot of skin tones going on, usually.)

 

[Willdorling]

Lovely work Skel. I really dig your ability to progress from very dark to very light. I've tried this on some of my models but I seem to run out of room in which to make the transistions! Practice I am sure makes perfect but you have a really good eye sir! Keep painting ;-)

Cheers
Will

He's looking lovely Skel, really enjoy you working at this scale, gives your style more room to breath

Cheers, B.

Looking awesome as usual Skel. I love the amount of variation in your skin tones and really admire the way you blend it all seamlessly.

I was blown away by all the variations in the skin tone you have going on. Its interesting to look at!!! I am really looking forward to the finished piece of work mate - keep on it!!!

That is quite the juxtaposition. Here you have this huge and menacing rhino painted in a very dark and brooding fashion yet the pupil of his eye is so big and puppy dog-like that I cannot decide if I should run in terror or take him home to cuddle. I know that that is how rhino eyes look, and I am not criticizing, I guess I am just saying he looks menacing in a charming way. Love the paint job so far

 

[SkelettetS]

haha, yeah i had to google rhino eye before i painted it, large pupils. i do think it add some character to him, altough a bit cuddly heh

thanks a lot for all comments folks, glad you like the progress so far 12 days left, gaaaaaaah x2...

 

[ischa]

i went running in slottsskogen today skelletets, and stopped by the seals, just noticed the rhino eyes are rather similar to seal eyes. cute, as said!;P

 

[SkelettetS]

ok more wip pictures... legs painted, feet is not. but almost there...

time to goggle some some cool warpaint and see if i can find something suitable.

one shot of the base. yay. not done that much there...

 

[10 ball]

Excellent, love the whip marks on his back - if I was to paint them they would just look like red lines painted on

 

[Bloodhowl]

time to goggle some some cool warpaint and see if i can find something suitable.

Warpaint, or tattoos? I think something like Maori warrior tattoos over his whole body would look brilliant!
