tatsu Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 I love his expression. This guy actually only took me an hour to do. My fastest work yet that I'm happy with. Front View Back View WIP Humor. I promise I'll have Reaper figures to show soon. . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q-Ball Posted March 1, 2005 Share Posted March 1, 2005 Looking very good tatsu :) But is it my imagination or is the right hand more pale than his face ?? Maybe its the picture :) Not really a big fan of the sculpt .. hes to stiff in my opinion :) ... the hammer ... he holds it in a weird way ... also the hammer looks a bit bend to me ... I think i might have to let my eyes get checked :) Overal nicely painted :) ... Good color choice ... exept for the red book with the blue cloth :) ... Imo the book is to red ... maybe tone it down a bit using a darker shade of red ... but thats just my opinion ... Keep up the good work :) Q Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tatsu Posted March 1, 2005 Author Share Posted March 1, 2005 Oh wow, I did not even notice the hand . . . it is lighter! The brightness of the book was to fit him with the other troops. My empire boys have a very American color scheme to them . . . and it makes me want to dip them all. Not cause I used American colors, the troops just seem too . . . bright. Like you mentioned with the book. Thanks for the response, Q-ball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital [email protected] Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I recommend you leave this guyin your finished pile, but next time you feel your skin is too bright, make a glaze. I love VMC Earthbrown (I think) for this. I take a 10:1 ratio of thinner to paint and apply thin layers ofer the areas I want shaded. It will create a very subtle change in color. Apply more layers where you want the darkest shadows. You can also use a darker color in areas you want more contrast such as where the wrist meets the sleeve, the under edge of the hand etc. Play around with creating glazes, as they can really help in many applications. Over all I think he looks good. I do love his facial expressions. I can picture him calling out, "Any of you heathens who has dared desicrate this holy ground with your evil words, please step forward for a complete and final judgement by my hammer, err, I mean god. The rest of you go home and have a nice day. Don't forget the collections box on your way out." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painting Raven Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Yeah, what Digital [email protected] said. I like the gold work on the breastplate as far as his expression is concerned, I think it says something more around the way of, "HOLY MARY MOTHER OF .... AHHHHHHH!"
