Krazy Kid PSx Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hey, I Just started painting minis and its really fun. Very enjoying, I usually get my pieces from Reaper. and these are my first two finished pieces. Enjoy, tips helps etc.. is greatly appreciated. :) Oh yea, the camera i used to take the pics with is a Finepix Digi Cam, unfortunately i also used the fine pix software to crop the images. [sorry no Photoshop on this pc to edit the pics. :(] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Okay bro. Well, let me first say you've got great taste in models. WK's sculpts rule. Remember, always room for improvement. First, let's talk about getting rid of that gloss effect, a can of testors dullcote will take that away quick and second gotta finish those bases! Welcome to a great hobby man and there are some great painters and "mini experts" here to gain knowledge from and this will definitely lead to continued improvements in your painting skills. Rock on.

Sergeant_Crunch Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Actually, I'm thinking it's camera flash, not gloss. Good work, I would suggest looking around the boards and get some ideas for basing that you'd like to try. I don't normally do much for the base, but at least cover the slot. For first minis those are quite good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kid PSx Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 thanks fella's, Actually there was some gloss varnish that my dad used to use when i first finished them but today i went to the store and looked for some matte varnish to try and make them less shiney the flash on the pc and the overhead light doesn't help to much either, I just ordered some Scenery bases for all these pieces i just bought : 02835 : Jolie, Female Scribe 02906 : Praying Paladin 02909 : Nienna, Female Elf Ranger 02982 : Female Anti-Paladin 02986 : Female Necromancer 03084 : Virina, Female Demon 03078 : Pearl, Mermaid 03025 : Pharess,Fire Sorceress 03170 : Lurien, Female Ghost 03126 : Ghoul Queen and Servants 03114 : Deva, Female Angel 10025 : Savage Beauty and yea WK has some bomb pieces that cought my eye quick. :D again thanks ill really look around the boards to pick up some more tech's to use :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Sweet list of models bro. I usually paint nothing but WK's pieces both from Reaper and his own line from Freebooter. If you do a search here in the Show Off section and type in key word Klocke, you'll get a buch o' eye candy from past pieces. IMO, WK's pieces remain to most popular in the Reaper DHL line to date. Check out some of his wicked cool Freebooter stuff here. Freebooter Line SK, out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kid PSx Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 ah sweet link bro, some pretty sick eye candy. :D thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyreos Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Is that blood spray on the first model? Ah, I remember my first box of peasants; the red drybrushing was irrisistable. Otherwise nice choice in models, and the painting is a good start, keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kid PSx Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 thanks for noticing, it is the effect i was going for. Just to make it look dramatic with the blood on the sword. :D I used a really beat up 0 point brush that i had lying around and just went to work. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stern Kestrelmann Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Dude, add these models to your DHL "Klockian must paints" #2758 #2775 #3072 #3098 #3102 There's more, but look into these WK models from the DHL line. SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ishil Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 #2775 SK That's not by WK - you must mean #2757. In any case, that's a male figure, and judging from Krazy Kid's list, he really prefers the ladies! Ishil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krazy Kid PSx Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 #2775 SK That's not by WK - you must mean #2757. In any case, that's a male figure, and judging from Krazy Kid's list, he really prefers the ladies! Ishil lol, True to that... I dont mind doing male pieces like the Praying paladin, and a few of the wizards i have here, but most of the time i like the curves and so forth on the female characters. Alot of depth and so forth. my next two pieces ill post up is Bonecaller and Anduriel Brightflame. :D Right now i have the let the primer dry for 24hrs though. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernieball22 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Looks like you're off to a good start. Your colors are where they should be and it looks like you some sort of highlighting. Though that might just be the lighting. Keep improving, you'll be turning out masterpieces in no time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
