Feanor Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 I wanted to paint this fig in a black and white scheme since I first saw it. But now I've gone and converted him somewhat now I'm trying to decide wether or not to take it farther like nipping those spikes on his shoulders. Feedback and ideas are very welcome.

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted June 19, 2008 Moderator Share Posted June 19, 2008 You've given me the idea for a Matisse converted so it's obvious he's wearing power armor...and holding a Big Gun. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbob Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 John, what have you done... Cool looking even though I have no Idea what anyone else is talking about. Black & white is going to be tough, I've tried. Dont get frusterated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 Thanks alot all of you. I did take those shoulder spikes and I roughed in the colors last night. OH NOS! Evilbob does not know what is a Sephiroth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black & white is going to be tough, I've tried. Dont get frusterated. Sephiroth is the villain from Final Fantasy VII (7), a playstation game for the late 90's. The mini is looking good keep going.

Evilbob Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 (edited) Ok, Final Fantasy I know. I had it once upon a time. on the NES. long long ago, in a galaxy called Kalispell...But I don't think i ever got past the 1st level in that and kinda gave up on the whole thing. I wonder if my mom still has those? John, its looking great, and now that I vaguely know what its supposed to be, cool. And he looks better without the spiky bits.

yani Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm following this one closely, se get to work!! I would love to see how it turns out. My fiance is a HUGE fan of Sephiroth, so I kinda stole your idea to work on it myself :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbob Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 My recomendation for keeping your paints wet: a very small amount of acrylic retarder goes along way in this weather. not because it works better but if you use much more than none it tends to make your paints shiny. I got a dropper bottle going on right now thats slightly over 3/4 full of distilled water and approx. 1/4 of Flow Improver. I'm having to add this 'summer gunk' about twice as often as I normally do, but that makes painting alot easier in this weather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feanor Posted July 14, 2008 Author Share Posted July 14, 2008 Sorry for the bad photo fu. My wife had her wisdom teeth out yesterday and was unable to take pics. Im very happ with the shading on the wing but I hate the work I did on the sword oh well I'll keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Coming along very nicely. The shading on the wing is looking good. I think you could push it a bit deeper near the recesses and perhaps edge the wingtips with a white metallic--either RMS Pearl White or VMC Metallic medium.
