Tim's WIP's

[ArchArad]

Wow. I am so very impressed.

 

[Gandalf the Grey]

You've a talent for applying highs in places I wouldn't think of, those extreme almost white dots are amazing. Superb technique mate

I completely agree, I saw it on some youtube (maybe at painting budda's) and also on some folks here and I love the effect, but I still fail at them. (I think placement is key)

 

[Darthmarsh]

Cheers folks

@ Oistene. I didn't realise how close up the pictures were! I post most of my photos from my phone now and they were 'normal' sized on my screen, bloody ginormous on the laptop!

Thanks Mally and Maenas. I've been watching a ton of Ben Komats tutorials and trying to emulate his light placement (he has a wonderful understanding of light) I'm going for highlights next to shadows for maximum contrast (something else he talks about) Brightest highlights are Vallejo ivory.

Some time ago I posted my diorama Weapon of last resort to the Gallery. I was never 100% happy with the picture quality so today I snapped a few new pictures. Overal I'm much happier with it C&C welcome

Great composite picture. I just got the revised version of this demon with alternate weapons and helmet. Seeing the size of him in hand makes your effort even more impressive. He is big!

 

[wargamesculptor]

Great dio that tells a story, with fantastic paintwork

 

[Terrafirma]

F,ing beautiful work Tim ,that dio is BRILLIANT

 

[MrJim]

Love that diorama. That was one of my favorite WIP.

 

[Quantum Man]

Great dio, nice to see it over at P&P as well

 

[meaty_nosebleeds]

that's awesome about the painting group tim! i might have to try and set one up where i live too, as we don't have a lot of hobbyists around here who we can meet up with.

your diorama is looking fantastic! i need to know the recipe for those gorgeous metals you have painted!

 

[Darthmarsh]

Damn you 'the mood' why strike at stupid o'clock when you know I have to be up early the next day!!

Quick post before fore I hit the sack. Here's some work on the base for my Black sailors, the HMS Lok'tar. Still loads to do but it's coming together

As always C&C welcome

night all

Tim

looking fantastic so far man! that huge base really sets those minis in a great way.
just one thing, are you going to wether the base either with paints or marks? it may be my personal preference, but i feel that the ship should be rough and wethered like the crew.

i feel you with the mood thing. mine's been keeping me up way past my bedtime too

 

[ArchArad]

Looking great so far!

 

[wargamesculptor]

When the muse decends we must follow our heart ! enough with the greek ideaology base looks great with lots of detail and agree with Meaty needs weathering or damage as construction is very precise

 

[Gandalf the Grey]

Another classic piece in the making.

 

[Gino2dope]

This is going to be an absolutely stunning dio! I always love "groundwork" which has multiple levels on it. Not always an easy thing to do, but you've nailed it to perfection!

Keep up the great work,

Gino(2dope)

 

[oistene]

Wow, this is all kinds of great, had to scroll back up to look more at it twice before I replied.

Painting is good for keeping the black dog at bay - personally, I should be in a bad place right now as everything has gone to shit, and yet, I paint and smile and I feel like I'm doing better than I have been in years. Creativity lets us keep our heads on.

 

[MrJim]

Looks like this is going to be another amazing piece. I love the attention to details on the decking.

 

[Maenas]

wow!! Nice architectonic work there! I specially like the floor "trap" at the bottom part.

 

[BloodASmedium]

Unbelievable work.
