antnol Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 After working on that Nurgle guy for so long I had to get away from him to keep my mind in tact. So here i have started an Empire Priest that I will be using for a certain painting competition thats coming up later this year. i would show you what the base looks like but I am still not sure about it. Well let me know what you think about this one and I promise to actually complete this one before I start a new mini lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morganm Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Great work on the skin; I really like it. The matte colors work well too. Gives it a very 'cloth' texture look to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanker22 Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Nice work so far Anthony, very vibrant colors- red, white and blue. No wonder I feel so patriotic right now looking at him Skin looks great, reminds me how crappy mine looks at the moment on my Wip. Always enjoy checking out your work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Rodolfo Graziani Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Hey antnol, This is sweet! Have to ask: what colors are you using for the different parts there? They're so vibrant he looks like he's almost glowing. (hangs head in shame looking at own minis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnol Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 Ah lets see. I will go from color to color listing what shades and highlights I used so far. Blue: Exile Blue(PP) with a heavy wash of Black(PP) then to Cygnar Blue Base(PP). After that I went to Cygnar Blue Highlight(PP) and adding just a spot of white to that for my final highlights. Red: Sanguine Base(PP) with a heavy wash of Cryx Bane Base(PP) then to Sanguine Highlight(PP). After that I went to Khador Red Base(PP) and adding just a spot of white to that for my final highlights. White: Menoth White Base(PP) with a heavy wash of Boostrap Leather(PP) then to Menoth White Highlight(PP). After that I went to Rotting Flesh(GW) and finally to white for the highlights. NMM: Bastion Gray(PP) with a heavy wash of Battlefield Brown(PP) mixed with Sanguine Base. Then to Fortress Gray(GW) and finally white for my final highlights. Almost forgot the skin: Khardic Flesh(PP) with a light wash of Sanguine Base(PP) then to Midlund Flesh(PP). After that I went to Elf Flesh(GW) and adding white to that to get my final highlight. Now I didnt use these colors straight out of the pots. I had to do some mixing in between each color to get a smooth transition but you will just have to get the feel for that over time. I think the reds, blues and whites look so bright because of how I placed the highlights. Plus my base colors are very dark which makes the contrast very strong. I hope this helps but if you guys have any more questions, fell free to ask. Thaks for the comments guys. I really do appreciate it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
