Vicky Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Like Casiatta, I was inspired by the Diablo 3 artbook when painting this knight. I really liked some of the angels and decided to paint him in a similar fashion. I considered giving him a white cloak, but it just seemed like going dark with it seem right, so I went blue-black. I think it goes well with the gold. The armor and weapon were painted with the same mixture of non metallic and metallic paint. Thanks for looking! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Very nice use of the colors. The gold highlights really enhance the blue-black background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalchaos Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Nice and interesting painting technique. Your NMM almost looks like OSL, I like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookjimjr Posted July 14, 2012 Share Posted July 14, 2012 The use of the colors you chose make this mini stand out. I would be proud to have this mini on the table or on display. Great Job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerebro1974 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Really good, again, great NMM, with such a dark figure it would be great contrast to pick one element, even small (maybe something on the base?) to go super light, just to give it some balance. Just my 2 cents... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Lead Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Hey Vicky! I remember seeing this when you posted it to Reaper's Facebook page. I love it. Great work on the subtle red effect on the armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaztica Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I think the dark and ancient colors work well...I say ancient cause the metal looks tarnished or jus treally old...lol Very clean and nicely done !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Wow! Thanks to all of you for the wonderful comments! Cookjimjr -- Thanks so much for all your encouragement and checking out my work! Cerebro -- I was thinking of doing a lava style base initially. I think you may be right, it would have given some brightness to an otherwise very dark color scheme. They say you should always go with your first instinct, and I guess I should have. :) Hot Lead -- Just wanted to thank you again! I consider your comments high praise coming from you. :) Spaztica -- I was trying to go for something really dark, old and powerful. I'm glad it came across! Thank you!
