Nameless Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 aah, finally a reaper mini to show here this one was sitting half-painted on my painting desk for way too long. I decided to finish it for my friend during the mini exchange held on another forum. I corrected and improved what had been painted, slapped some paint on unpainted elements and here it is... The Count of Silesia, Crimson Knight, One Whose Name Shall Not Be Spoken... Pretty satisfied with the limited colour scheme, not happy about smoothness in few places (or lack of it). this was also my entry for the Reaper Winter Contest. Got to the finals, no luck there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Very nice reds, and I like how you did around the eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclimbin Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Very nice job. Can I ask how you did the red armor? Is it red NMM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TollHouseGolem Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Nice work. I like the way your armor turned out, and the skin has that perfect pale-creepy-vampire look to it. If the vampire I'm working on turns out half as well as yours, I'll be mighty pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Thanks! Red armour - quite simply, to be honest. Red base (not sure which of MSP reds I actually used), controlled washes with violet liner and black, some highlights done with red mixed with just a bit of white, and then highlights on armur edges with pure white.

Stern Kestrelmann Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 NL- I gotta ask about that black background. What did you use? Is that cropped and added in later or an actual backdrop? Nice job on the paint works. Base is nicely done as well. SK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator TaleSpinner Posted March 7, 2011 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2011 I really like the cloak. The color is so rich and well executed. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted March 7, 2011 Author Share Posted March 7, 2011 Stern, I use black clothes as my black background - t-shirt, wife's skirt... stuff like that. I place it relatively far behind a mini, so it is outside camera's focus range. This helps to make material texture less visible. After taking a pic I use a GIMP software to adjust few things, one of which is "levels correction" - not sure how is this function called in the english version. Generally speaking I select spot on the pic which should be black, then white spot - software then adjusts colours to make them closer to reality in this case I select background as the black spot. Hope this makes any sense to you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimL Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Very nice, great display base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtoku Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 I saw this in the contest, and I loved the armor from when I first saw it. My favorite is probably the skin though. It look very smooth and stands out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
