Sproket's WIP

[Zab]

Ugh he looks like underdone jerky. He's hideous, but i can't look away. All that detail and tonal variance is just amazing. Great palette on the rest too, it just all ties in so nicely.

 

[ten ball]

yes very impressive, the greens on the shoulders works especially well :good:

 

[AndyG]

Yes coming along very nicely I think your right to tone down the green a bit on the shoulders. The red is just the right tone as well.

 

[Maenas]

I think from now on, on this thread, I will just sit down and watch speechless...

That's what I've been doing since I got here.

This is magnificent Sproket. I can't get over the colours in that face.

 

[Quantum Man]

Stunning of course! Will you be taking any of these to salute?

Yes, I'll be taking one of the busts - I haven't decided which one yet.

 

[Sproket]

I've made a bit more progress on the shoulders. I'm a lot happier with the green.

Dave just a thought how about having the sash across his chest a contrasting colour away from the colour scheme?

Now that is a very good idea - a little flash of contrast & drama in the colour palette. I'm thinking white.

White - I concur! As usual im making you a better artist :laugh:

I'd be nothing without your input.:worship!::worship!::worship!:

I'm convinced that at least 50% of the great paintjobs on here is just ten ball tidying up after everyone on photoshop.

The white is a great idea.

 

[ten ball]

Dont tell anyone but all Andys works is photoshopped :soldier::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::wasntme:

Looking superb, the metallics are fantastic.
White sounds good for the sash, but careful it doesn't detract from the face too much with excessive contrast!

 

[Bailey03]

Looks amazing, Sproket. I think white would be a good choice. You could also do a pattern on top of the white. I'm been doing a bit of research on samurai armor for another project and here's a look at some of their armors. Notice the cords around the waist and some of the other details. You can certainly go with pure white, there are examples of that too. But, if you wanted to work in other colors on top of that you could. I'm not sure which would be better. Just something to consider...

Those early Daleks were very ornate, but some of the seams and gaps are a bit too wide.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Your ability to paint models David has always struck viewers with awe,breathlessness and elation.such is the effects of miniature painting and the lasting impressions of ooohs and ahhhs it leaves in the brain of those gazing upon them!!!
