Adrift Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Hughbert is looking great, he looks right at home in a grim and gothic campaign! Back in those days bastard would have just been a literal, 'you don't have a father's last name to inherit' but I prefer to think of it more to do with a grim and vicious attitude with respect to the figure and his demeanor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corporea Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 ok, I am killing several birds here. First, I need to get some images together for my classes and what better way to tackle weird fleshtones than to use one of Mr Manor's awesome trolls. Plus he said something about a contest... sucker for contests... Meet primed troll: This fellow must have slipped slightly in the mold because he had some funky musculature at his mold lines. But, the greenstuff was kind to me and now he is ready to meet technicolor! So... I'm supposed to impart wisdom in my class, so I thought I'd throw out an alternative view on "triads" Sorta. Anyway, I picked up a few of my new kickstarter colors to try out. Spruce Green and Umber Brown, and then I used twilight blue, walnut brown, fair skin and leather white. I think I may add in some spattered crimson. Here's a way to play with colors prior to painting. It's nice to figure out how they behave together. I put them on some watercolor paper: Fun with color!! So my basic colors are going to be the three on the top left. Here he is with a face but otherwise just basecoating: I added palomino gold in the teeth, then thought about using it in the fur, but was very unhappy with the colors. see: Nope. Too yellowy. Should have played with it first... sigh. So I'll go with my original plan which as to blend the fur from umber to twilight blue. The plan will be a diorama with a squashed figure under a rock and another hiding from the troll. Trying to decide if I can steal from the bones pile or if I'll just have to sculpt a cowering something. More soon! 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrift Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm painting Sir Grantham Smythe concurrently in the Gamut Mask challenge using only: Earth Brown, Midnight Blue and Auburn Shadow. Pure White can be used for highlights and doesn't count against the three colors. Progress tonight during Roll20 DND. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinh Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I find it hard to beleive that only three colors + white were used. The amount of hues on this mini are simply amazing and knowing you did it with only 3 colors... I am simply floored! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CashWiley Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's easier when one is a brown :p 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrift Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 It's easier when one is a brown :p Haha, maybe. Making brown/grey with complementary colors is also very easy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungoreatstefan Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 That surcoat is awesome ( the whole model is really, but you really nailed it in the surcoat ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrift Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) That surcoat is awesome ( the whole model is really, but you really nailed it in the surcoat ) Thanks! That is the one part of the figure where I took my time on the blends since there were only 4 hours to spend. Other blends look a lot rougher to me but I just didn't have time to work them anymore. I was originally going to paint the surcoat white when I picked him up, but as I kept going it wanted to be orange in my head so I went with that.

ungoreatstefan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Once upon a time, I also posted photos in this thread: Sorry for the photo quality, I was fighting with my iPhone camera and got a frustrating work email during it which took the wind out of my sails a little bit. Don't let you kids go to law school parents. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungoreatstefan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 And some more! Basically all of the above just need their bases painted black on the rim, these ones here are mostly done except the obvious very WIP zombie. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ungoreatstefan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 It looks like I forgot to add two WIPs last night (I blame the work email) A suitably rusty Orc and a man of the cloth as a WIP 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeGKushner Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Best shots I could manage come from the cellphone: Eyes are not the best, but I cannot get them right anyway... let me know what you think please guys! I have a hell of a time with the eyes on Tre's figures. I think it's either because I'm getting older or the true scale is throwing me off and I need a loooot more practice. Loving the weathered beaten look on the blade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willen Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 Thanks Joe! This is were I am right now. C&C? Obviously the dio is still early WIP, plus it lacks the heavy snow coat... but I am looking forward comments on the disposition, layout, flow, etc. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
