Legion Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Ok, I have finally completed this mini after input from several painters much more talented than I. Thurion was converted to represent one of my D&D characters who oddly enough is a Half-Fiend Blackguard. Please enjoy and any and all input is welcome. This was a fun piece to work on as it was decidedly personal. This was also a series of firsts in so many ways: 1st conversion, 1st base, and 1st time using the "light box on the cheap" from this forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 I like the look of the armor. Nice coloring there Also nice conversion, it fits & I think that is what counts. Great job RM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Very cool Legion, I like the armor as well. Good job on the basing as, I can see this guy kicking much butt in a D&D game. Whats with the green sword though? Suppose to magical I assume. Neat idea, but some more highlighting on it couldn't of hurt IMHO to make it pop abit more. Good work on him!

fieldarchy Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 lookin' good Legion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Nice conversion. Maybe put some highlights on the wings (they are just a tid bit flat right now). I second the idea for the magic sword. Maybe put a brighter (yellower) color at the base of the sword, like it is powering up. Other than that, this guy will look great while your gaming!!!

Legion Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 Haldir: Thanks appreciate it. Tank: The story of the green sword; I posted him not to long ago while I was still working on him and he had a red sword that just about everyone said "go green", so that is where it came from. My issue is the sword is "unholy", but did not want to go black as there is already sooo much black. What I may do in the future is learn how to add flames to a sword and try him again with green sword base and blend to black on the flames Meg: Thanks that means alot after seeing your work. Ollie: Thanks but for tabletop I think I'm done with this specific piece for now. Hope you guys are seeing these Ok. I'm looking at them on my laptop and the pics just aren't what I saw on my PC monitor lastnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Yeah, I remember the red sword now, been awhile. One thing I used to do with swords to kind of give them a magical look was mix a light almost florescent green in with my silver or what ever color I was using. With the right highlighting it gave it a pretty cool look, almost like it had a internal glow to it. Maybe thats something you could play around with in the future to see if you like it.

I might try that. To be honest Ive only just started painting blades, I used to buff them raw and seal them like that. So, it's ALL new at this point.

Legion Posted December 10, 2007 Author Share Posted December 10, 2007 Thanks Faol, if you've been to my profile lately, you would see a pic of me in a themed costume with the wings he has and was hence the inspiration. Odd thing that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
