Sanael Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 This is possibly my favorite paint-up to date (1.5 years of painting, give-or-take)...I like this sculpt's personality, too. I loved working with the folds in his coat. This is the first time I've ever "gotten" the whole shading/highlighting/layering thing on a mini, partially because the folds in the sculpt have an angular quality similar to my own 2D drawing style...so now I can't wait to apply what I've finally figured out to a much more flowy Klocke or Garrity sculpt from Reaper. As always, it looks better in person...shadows are less "hard" than in the photo, for example. But enough excusing. Here 'tis: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted November 19, 2006 Moderator Share Posted November 19, 2006 Isn't it great when a technique "clicks"? I still remember my "Holy carp! I can BLEND!" moment from 3-4 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chika Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Again great paint job. I like this little fella alot. It really is great when ideas start to "click" when you are working on a mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhaidra Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Looks great. I also remember when I first time got Layering I was sooooo happy and felt relieved because a couple of months before I had thought that I never will get it. Congrats. Try to use a darker background for your pictures because the darker the background, the lighter the picture will get. Yours is too dark because you use white as the background. Dark Grey as background works best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hinton Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Good-looking mini; nice paint job. It's fun when you finally do something that you couldn't do before. It's a great feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 thanks, folks. I was really happy with the way this guy came out, and it's nice to hear other people tell me I'm not crazy for thinking he looks half-decent. vhaidra, I mentioned over in my wip thread that I'll try a darker backdrop for my next photos. we'll see if that helps. sarge, the personality in the sculpt is what drew me in...although PP has some really nice, elaborate and fun-to-paint stuff, Reinholdt here is the first one I've seen that seems like something more than a game piece to me.
