MamaGeek Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Cool. I really like how you painted the basket on his back. There are so many colors on this figure! I don't know how you had the patience for it. I hate painting fiddly bits. Your color choices are super, and it all looks so nice. The only thing that can use some work is the blending on the purple pants. Well done, Jen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Lee Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Nice job, the handle on the weapon looks just like ivory. I also like the way you did the arm-hand gard thingy. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulfthehunter Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Solid job, your paint skills have come a long way. I like the skin most of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legion Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Super work, love all of the details, the highlights on the basket are spot on. The hilt of the sword is spectacular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty kahn Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 That is a crazy looking figure. I love the colors you chose, especially for the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varl Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Great job on this ogre. Is that a shiny gem technique I spy on the hilt of his weapon? Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettagirl Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Lovin' the colours on this! But what is that little hairy turtle thing hanging on the basket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 Thanks, everyone! And thanks to those who had color suggestions when I had this guy over in WIP. They should be getting the kudos on color selection. Yes, that is (or is supposed to be) a transparent gem effect on the end of the hilt -- I'm surprised anyone could tell, it hardly shows in the pictures! And yeah, the purple pants...aren't a great job. I'm not real consistent with my blends. I hope it will come in time. Patience for finishing it: well, at the end, I was well into the "I can't stand to look at this figure anymore!" stage. He's a really cool fig, but if you are considering painting him, he's got so many fiddly-bits it just goes on...and on...and on... ...and on... Hairy turtle thing: I was asking myself that very question as I was painting it. It looks like a cross between a turle and a monkey, and the top of his head is hollow, like a cup. It really seems like it's supposed to be that way, not a casting problem. I'm guessing it's some kind of legendary Japanese creature that I'd be able to identify if I were better educated.

Krztoff Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Advice from WIP thread or not, you pulled off a rainbow palette, and that's pretty cool. What did you use for the skin? I want to steal the recipe for use on lacedons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 What did you use for the skin? I want to steal the recipe for use on lacedons. Ahm...well. I started with a really light blue that's almost white (if you dig up the WIP thread, it barely looks blue in the picture at all). This particular paint has long since been transferred to an unlabeled bottle, so I'm not exactly sure what it is. If I had to put money on it I'd guess it's GW Space Wolf Grey. I started mixing in RMS Ultramarine Highlight for the shadows, but wanted something darker for the deepest bits, so I pulled a darker blue from another unlabeled bottle. I think that one was GW Regal Blue. For highlights, since the base color is so light, I ended up working my way up to pure white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerdrew Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This is good. The skin is my fave bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
