Popular Post CashWiley Posted January 16, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 16, 2015 Here's the first guy I've painted from the Operation: Icestorm box for Corvus Belli's Infinity skirmish game. He's just a grunt I was working out some color schemes and another attempt to speed things up with tabletop painting. Had a tough time pinning him to the base (a plastic piece from Sedition Wars), required some touch-ups which is why there is a horrid dot of red that needs fixing on his back calf :p 49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiniest rhombus Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If only my tabletop paint jobbies were that nice. He's awesome. Love his skin tone, what paints did you use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Pretty basic. Red was based in HD Crimson Red, then layered with Gory Red and Fresh Blood. Blacks and greys were just the stormy grey triad. Skin was dark skin triad with a little tanned on top. OSL was white and led blue. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiniest rhombus Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've been eyeing the dark skin triad. I'll have to pick it up next time. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baphomet69 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 A) I didn't realize Corvus Belli did Infinity B) this is your idea of table-top speed paint? <expletive deleted> 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CashWiley Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Thanks, folks! I can't take much credit for the skin tones, I copied something Schubert did in the class on expressive faces. I've yet to get the expressive face part, but at least I could improve my darker skin tone game! I should take another pic from higher, I like the quick and dirty base I did. Trying to riff on the Giraldez's studio paint job rusty starship style base and I think for a first attempt it came out cool. The caution stripe was meant to be subtle and dirty, maybe a little too much. Edited January 16, 2015 by CashWiley 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimreaper71 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wow very nice job again. You painting a whole group in that color scheme? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arc 724 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 NIce, I really like that pose he is in! CORNROW! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Wow very nice job again. You painting a whole group in that color scheme?Eventually, yeah. It worked out pretty well. Keep it basic. NIce, I really like that pose he is in! CORNROW!It's a weird pose, because he's walking with both feet lifting at opposite ends, and he's leaning forward a bit. I like it, but from a couple angles it's a bit off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsidianCrane Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 How did you find him to assemble? The words "not pretty" might best sum up my experiences with him so far. My personal copy should arrive Monday and I get to give it a go from the start (and not have to sculpt a hand..), but I'm curious how you found him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
