Sanael Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I call this a quickpaint because I don't really feel like it's a "speed" job. But all told, it took less than 2 hours from bare primer to ready-for-dullcote. I don't normally paint GW, but I got this guy and his pack of rats on sale, and I needed a rat-man for our Ptolus game. So I took him to my FLGS paint-night and got 'er done. Pretty happy with the blending, given the time it took to paint. I think I'm getting this whole "painting minis" thing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voladilk Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 That has come up quite well for a quick job. I like the cloak and the discs of metal on him. Nice work mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 I think I'm getting this whole "painting minis" thing. I assume that by 'getting' you mean 'getting addicted to'... For a quick job - this is really solid. like Voladilk said - nice work on the cloak and medalions... That red especially is really well done. Only 'critique' would be going a titch lighter in the ears and around the hands and muzzle - maybe with a thin wash of RMS Fair Skin Shadow or something along those lines. As it is - its really nice - but I think if you added the differentiation to the hands face and ears it'd really pop. Great work - thanks for posting.

Sanael Posted June 10, 2007 Author Share Posted June 10, 2007 yeah, if this had been a PC mini, or a definite display-piece, I would have put some layered skin tones into the ears, hands, and tail, but as it is I just needed him done. You're right, though, about the thin wash of the fleshtone...it would have done great work towards lightening those areas, and wouldn't have taken but a moment. I may actually go back and do that, since I still haven't dullcoted him. Thanks for the suggestion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versutus Vulpes Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 No problem - and I didn't mean to nitpick - but I thought since you'd done such a stellar job on the cloak and medalions... And the snowflake turns into blizzard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 Hey, I wouldn't call it a nitpick...nitpicks are annoying, and usually inconsequential. This was neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
