SIGIL Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 WOW. Brilliantly done Rex Lyver. Thank you very much. The way you painted the veining is exactly as I hadd hoped it would come out. tre' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 WOW! The woodwork on shield and club are both amazingly rich with woodly detail. I agree with many others here who want to see more. I'd LOVE to see the other side of that magnificent shield of his. .. Okay... and I wanna see that fine fit ogre booty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rex_lyver Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 Thank you for all the kind comments. This sculpt is really top-shelf and the mini painted itself. I've bought 5 more Tre Manor sculpts and I can't wait to put paint on them. Kelcore - Sorry no booty shots. I wanted to get this into the post as soon as possible and only took the 1 picture. Stubbdog - My previous PC went belly-up and took all my saved websites with it. I'll visit Exodus Road Hobbies and see if I can resurrect my account. Miniken - I only took this 1 shot before sending it off. I was surprised by the front of the shield when I opened the blister. It was a bit over the top for my taste, so I sanded it off (good ol' Dremel). TaleSpinner - The wood grain is very well sculpted on this model. My approach is to base the wood in a light brown, then shade the area with multiple washes using progressively darker browns. I finish up with a light tan (bone) highlight. Wyrmgear - The base is a Groundforge resin base. They have a variety of bases and come highly recommended. Rex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've bought 5 more Tre Manor sculpts and I can't wait to put paint on them. I know what you mean. I'm rushing the one I'm working on now, because I want to get to Tre's Gnoll Ranger. I have great plans for that mini. TaleSpinner - The wood grain is very well sculpted on this model.

That is a bit different than I do it; I'll try you method on the axe haft of the troll I'm working on. TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glen Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Stunning! Simply stunning! I haven't been able to paint anything since the summer, but seeing your ogre makes me want to paint again (even though I'll probably never be that good)! Yeah, what everyone else said. First thing I saw was the richness of the wood, then the ,"holy $%&^&?!?! are those veins?!?!"moment. you've blown right past hobby into true art!

tanker22 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Over looked this guy somehow. Very nice work on it. The flesh looks great! Everything looks awsome really. Looks like veins to me as well, sweet! Gade A work rex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayin Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 I absolutely LOVE the work he did on this guy! Yes, the veining, woodwork, NMM, rust on the armor, and more is all amazing. I drooled over this guy for quite some time when I opened the box. I can't do it right now, but since Rex doesn't have booty shots of his own, I promise to post some later today. My photo-fu may not be as good as his, but you guys have GOT to see the rest of him! As I told him, I'll be happy if the recipient of my exchange mini gets even half as excited as I was when they get mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted October 8, 2007 Moderator Share Posted October 8, 2007 THIS WAS AN EXCHANGE MINI!?!?!?! Ayin, you are one lucky person! TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayin Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Yeah, tell me about it! Anyways, as promised, the booty shot & an "action" pose that should give you an idea of what your minis would see when facing this bad boy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
