Darius Glenwell Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hey folks! Long time no post. Been really busy with family, work, and commissions lately. Here's one I painted for myself (finally)! Thanks for looking! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badocter Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Outstanding. The base looks superb as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawker Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I have to agree with badocter, that's a great paint job and the base is excellent. I really like the way you've gone for a gritty real world look, he just exudes violence. I always try and find one thing to criticize even in the best models so I hope you don't mind me following that theme here. The only thing I would change is the gum line. It looks just a little too clean and pink for the rest of the model. And welcome back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buglips*the*goblin Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 He looks like he's about to hurt somebody. I like it! Well, so long as the person he hurts isn't me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malefactus Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 That is an EXCELLENT looking piece. The Autumn coloring on the base is a FINE effect. GREAT WORK! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darius Glenwell Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 Thank you all for the kind words. I do appreciate them. I try to go for a more realistic look for my painting. Gives the players a reason to really immerse themselves in a game. I agree about the gum line. That's a bad case of gingivitis there! lol I've got another one of these guys on the paint table, I'll tone down the gum line with him. lol if you want to see some more of my painting please come check out my facebook page; facebook.com/MidwestMiniatureGuy and you can follow me on Twitter @Midwestminiguy Thanks again!

buglips*the*goblin Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Easy monster mouths: paint them pink, flesh wash ink. I did this by accident, looked at it, and will never do a mouth differently again. I used Coat D'Arms pink and flesh wash, if we want to be precise about it, but I imagine the results would be similar with any other pink and flesh wash. Worth a try, anyway. Worst that can happen is you don't like the look. But I think you might. ETA: It's what I used on this spectator, though the picture doesn't quite show the colour off well. I'm going to do it on a few other baddies soon, so maybe those pics will show it better.

Teskal Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) That's how I want to paint my bone and metal gnolls. I like it. (Edit: I have no metal gnoll, it is a bugbear) Edited January 20, 2013 by Teskal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabberwocky Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Great example of what a gnoll should look like--I really like the grundgy metallics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
