Kuro Cleanbrush Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hey everyone! Sorry I've been gone so long for the holidays, but I'm finally back and hoping to get another video posted in a couple days! (This time on blending, as has been requested several times, before I finish up the cloak and move on to the eyes.) However, one of the main things that has been keeping me from this guy is work on a Wood Elf Blood Bowl team for a league that just started at my FLGS (I'll post pictures of them soon too), so I haven't been a total slacker with regard to miniatures. Anyway, here's where we are at right now with the Vampire Lord: I'm loving how the colors are turning out, and I'm thinking of titling the whole piece "Blood, Fire, and Darkness" with color choices that reflect on that theme. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baphomet69 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Don't know how I missed this until now, but... <expletive deleted> yeah! Bring it! In fact, get another of these guys, start from scratch, make DVD, other stuff, profit! SOLD! The red armor makes me think of Gary Oldman's Dracula, only about 1000 x cooler! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuro Cleanbrush Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks a bunch, everyone; you guys are awesome! No new work on that vampire yet (unfortunately), but I did get that new Layering Tutorial Video that I've been promising posted on YouTube! Hope you all can get something out of it, as it is basically everything I learned from the amazing Rhonda Bender (and others) at ReaperCons of past years! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Cleanbrush Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Well, I got a little more work done, but the mini has felt like it's fighting me the whole way, and I'm really not sure that I've managed to accomplish anything worthwhile since the armor. You guys always have great suggestions, so what do you all think? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvervane Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I really like how this figure is going. only thing that stands out (and it might be just me) is that the stars? on the back of the cloak feel to uniform. Throwing a constellation in might be an idea. Loved your video on layering. Think I'll give your method a go on my next figure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Cleanbrush Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 To be honest, I'm not really sure what they are myself (stars, sparks, something else?), but I totally see what you mean! Fortunately, that is a really easy fix, and I even still have the paint on my wet palette. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinh Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I do like the color fade of the cloak itself and the stars/holes/pin pricks seem to take away from that. If you added a comet or constellation it might feel less like moths have been at the cloak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Cleanbrush Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 I actually just added a couple constellations and some comets, and you guys were totally right; that helped a lot. I may even add a planet or two, or maybe even a nebula! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowRaven Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 ooh a nebula would be cool. Corporea had that one mini that went into the auction last Reapercon that you could borrow shamelessly steal ideas from 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
