miniken Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 It's been awhile since I've posted any pics so here goes. This is a WarCrow mini, the first I've painted. It was a nice sculpt to paint. I don't know if they are producing any new WarCrow mini's, at least I haven't seen any. Any comments welcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dargrin Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I like the axe the most in this one. But the goblin head is cool too. I would suggest dirtying up that area of the kilt thing. Otherwise sweet work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Rodolfo Graziani Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I agree with dargrin here, sweet axe. I also love the jewels and skin. DRG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty kahn Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 It all looks very nice! I really like the skin tone. One question though, the helmet looks like true metalic and the axe and shin pieces look like NMM, am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabberwocky Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I REALLY like the use of the purple on the shading of the axe. I think this one is my favorite of the 3 you have posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always like to post here first before my ego gets bruised on CMON Scotty, all the metal is true metallics shaded with various paints as has been described on this site by better painters than me.

Midnight Lurker Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Very very nice. Good job on the metallics, my favorite parts are the front side of the axe blade and the back side of his uppper arm bracelet. Yeah, that purple definately adds something extra! Nice smooth skintones, good depth of colors there. And great work on the jewels too! My only nitpick would be that I would like to see a little bit more darklining in a few places, like around the orc face at his waist and on the metallics where your golds and silvers meet. Not much, just a smidge more to help define the edges a little better. Maybe a little more dark washing in the relief of the filigree on his necklace and bracers. beautiful work overall... I really like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaGeek Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Excellent! It IS a cool sculpt, and you've done a great job with it. You seem to be a very skilled painter - are you ready for the REAL challenge of making his kilt plaid?!! :) My only criticism is that the base doesn't seem to match the mini. He looks like some kind of highlander type. I'd expect him on some kind of turf, or rock that wasn't so black, but more brownish. That's just a nitpick, though. Your skintones are wonderful, and your overall blending is fantastic. Thanks for sharing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodhi Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Arms look wrong in SO many places. And the abdominal muscles don't follow the movement at ALL. Good paintjob of a... not very good sculpture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdrew Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Superb stuff! The metals are really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushmaster Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Nice work on the flesh tones and blending ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olliekickflip Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I like this one too. Your blends are getting smoother and smoother. Next step....work on those bases!! :o) Your gems are really good!! Maybe just a bit more contrast in "light to dark" on the metals...mainly the shin guards and the belt buckle. You want the WOW factor on those areas...same as what you have acheived on the axe handle. Anyways, excellent job!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've admired your painting for a long time and appreciate your comments. I purchased Jeremie's painting DVD and find it a great help. I plan on putting his section on basing to great use!
