Work In Progress

[tidoco2222]

With my forthcoming involvement with the paint aid project I thought I would do a test mini of an Ogre Bull. It is going to be painted GW style and it is a lengthy process as the colours are quite poor covering.

Hope you like it, furhter highlights to the skin are going to be added as well as some backshading.

looks realy good so far, but i would add one final highlight on the high spots
i can hardly see a difference to the eavy metal guys works
good to see everyone giving their best efforts

Thanks Josh here is an update I have gone over the flesh tones again, plus the pants have been done as per the painting guide supplied by green stuff also the boots and the iron soles have also been done. I am quite pleased thus far.

Nice work Tim, How far time wise is that in to the painting? also what kind of primer do you use, cuase it looks very well coted but still holds all the detail?

 

[tidoco2222]

Thanks Howard, I have put about five hours on this mini so far. The primer is car spray primer matt black. Halfords own brand it is reasonably cheap and goes a long way.

@tidoco2222 : the rust effect works really well .

hm not an actual wip but i wanted to share it
a shot of my \"desk\" aka the living room
i occupy the whole table so it can get quite troublesome if someone else wants to use it


i always paint my minis sitting \"reversed\" on the air chair, meaning my face not pointing towards the table.
another \"strange\" thing is that i paint all my minis upside down.
i hold them with a cork bracket up so that the mini points to the ground.
why? i dont know it myself

@joshua
I used to paint in my living room at the coffee table and I became increasingly unpopular with my girlfriend! :innocent: It also made my back hurt and the more I painted the worse the pain got. So, I built my own desk in front of a large window with good lighting, proper height for working comfortably and lots of space where I can have all my paints, tools and other garbage without offending anyone. And I don\'t get a sore back anymore!

 

[Joshua]

ok here are the first two orges
the \"scaly\" one will get some armor added like the standart bearer orge, had to switch the ironfirst and drill it out because i love the first and the club

the original plan was to convert them into some ironguts but i asked a friend and he told me that ironguts can only be equipped with 2 handed weapons so no ironguts for me ((

the thingie on his head is a horn breaking through the skin, unfortunately you can see it because of the light

it was like the second time i sculpted something larger than a purity seal so i apologize for the lack of speed, i needed to practice the chainmail a bit

the shoulder armor will get some additional battle damage and bits when its dried

keep your work up folks, i have a good feeling about that

 

[tidoco2222]

They look realy good Joshua I am hoping to get my Ogre done soon and will hopefully get another pic up before long.

 

[Torath]

@ Joshua, Does sound weird painting upside down but i find my self doing alot of the mini upside down. Strokes with the brush seem to be easier and neater when I can bring the stroke down or towards me in stead of up. by the way nice job with the green stuff on them ogers :flip:

 

[tidoco2222]

Ok now we are getting very close to completion I have had to stop for a while as my eyes are getting tired. Here is the latest shot of my Ogre,

Blasted photoshop will not let me stitch images together I will have to try and sort that out anyway hope you like what you see.

 

[Joshua]

looking really great! im pretty sure this will be the best quality gamign army the world has even seen
oh and btw thanks, now i finally know how to attach that gnoblar in a bag item
