Male Barbarian with Hammer - DSM7429

[Jasonator 29499]

I started prepping this piece last week.

I wanted something having to deal with fur (not that comfortable with it yet).

So I decided that I would work on this one.

Looks simple, (it is FAR from that).  The undulations and the details of this sculpt are very very complex.

I am just now laying in layers of color, and I haven't even started to build up the color that I want.

I already have planned out the basing on this one, so I will probably do the base while I am painting.

 

Love the dynamics on this mini !

Here is where I am at.

C/C are always welcome !

Nice start Jay! Man I love this mini! The green you've achieved is gorgeous!

My goodness! he's quite svelte for a barbarian. 

Great work on the fur cape.

50 percent dilution, and five layers just about does it :)

I really geek out over my base colors.

If they aren't right, everything else just falls apart !

Thanks ultrasquid.

I still have to add depth to those colors.

Needs some black on the ridges, and I want the fox face to pop more on his shoulders.

"Layering" is on the agenda.  I'll be doing a lot of black and white photo comparisons.

Thanks for commenting !

Seems like I have a mega fun one on my painting desk.

Having a blast working on this guy.

Just started adding more color contrasts, and decided that he needed

copper armor!  I really like how that added a change, and now I can see other

colors that will come into play.  Loved adding the copper touches to the helmet bands also.

 

Here are some photos:

I find it interesting and cool that you gave him sleeves. Great stuff!

Thanks Ub3r !

I try to make every miniature that I paint my own concept, and vision.

I really liked the two painted versions on DSM; however; they're NOT me.

I liked the balance when I gave him sleeves,  and with the copper armor, I have a more earth-toned mini.

Just painted his boots a cavalry brown, which sets me up to paint tanned leather bindings, with shadows.

I'm thinking Black hair, with blue highlights...(Maybe"...LOL.

I need more color in the fur as I work up to highlights, and I want some darker fur in the middle, and Orange/Brown highlights on

face.

Looking awesome, Jay! He's reading very Loki-esque to me, which is very much a good thing in my mind!

Thanks Guindyloo;

This is a real fun one.  Fur is a challenge (but a good one).

Glad to see you back in the forums again !

[Guindyloo 45628]

It's good to be back! And always especially great to see the joy in your painting!

Had to carve out some painting time today.

May not be able to do any for a couple of days.

Started playing with the boots, and then send.."go for the Fur"...so I done did !

Little pop and sizzle going on !

Here are two photos.

I like that highlighting a lot! It brings a lot of movement to the piece!
