LordColdsteal Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 looks great. I like both jobs... just thought the dark one looked unique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Yeti summer coat vs Yeti winter coat perhaps? Indeed - the darker was interesting - but I was trying for the lighter shade - to accent the blue in his flesh. That and I want to work on snow basing... I just think its neat to see the two versions on top of each other. Maybe I'll pick up a few more - make a wookie party! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldarchy Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 The lighter one is much better. Gives more of an arctic feel because it's mostly white! You did a good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG88 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hi, think this looks great, especially lightened up. I think you are right on dry brushing this, fur is fine to dry brush, you just want to stay away from dry brushing smooth skin and other smooth surfaces, you would be crazy( or have a lot of time on your hands) to not dry brush so don't feel ashamed, it came out great. All I do on fur is paint it white, than what ever color i want it, say tan or light grey, than just wash it with a darker color, its just as easy as dry brushing but you don't get caked on paint or as much damage for brushes. Also don't be afraid to experiment with using washes of a different color, this dragon for instance was an expirment, it was painted with solid light colors painted down its back in stripes, then the arms and legs were painted solid, then simply washed with purple, hehe.

Versutus Vulpes Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 Hmmmm... Thanks for the tip - and I do like how that dragon turned out. Now the million dollar question - is where did you get that beastie?!?!?!?! (I likes him a lot!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayin Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 While I did like the darker gray, I like the lighter better! I'm glad the wash worked. Summer vs. winter coats: wouldn't the summer have some brown (a touch of tan, maybe?) Guess it would depend on where the specimen came from....

Versutus Vulpes Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Wow - Thread necromancy! PTF - Thanks man... (As 'Right Said Fred' plays in the background...) Ironworker - Gracias when I was looking at this guy last night I feel alot better about him now that I haven't looked at him in 3+ months... Ayin - Let me consult a cryptozoologist and get back to you . (Oh - and like most of my minis - he isn't based yet... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerridwyn1st Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Cool mini, VV, you get better all the time. Now I know what do do with that bottle of Vallejo Transparent White I picked up for $0.50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyrmgear Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Neat! I liked the darker version too, if only to see something a bit different. Plus the contrast twixt shadow and highlight really grabs the eyeball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 my input, as useless as it is darker yetis are "BIGFOOTS", ya paint them brown lighter makes better yeti otherwise your cryptozoologist would be a zoologist as we'd find the bugger in the snow! drybrushung fur rules!!! shhh don't tell Anne I actually said that seriously, the only thing you might have tried - years ago I did a frost giant couple and started thier hair in a sky blue with a blue wash and a white "hsurbyrd"(<--encrypted to hide from Anne) to finish it off and it came out really sharp. (pls don't ask for pictures that was long ago and they have gone to lost mini heaven with ALL my old minis). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchantra Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Now the million dollar question - is where did you get that beastie?!?!?!?!(I likes him a lot!)

Bel_Amore Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 oooh! I like!!! I actually kinda liked the dark version better. Then again I'm not one for "accurate" colors either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
