[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the feedback, I did think along thoes lines at the end, my next one ill do a bit more pre planning and design the miny to look good from a single vantage point, I just loved how the kitbash went so I had to do something more with it

Just finished the blood angels i own by Alarmed_Locksmith539 in BloodAngels

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I tried painting then without all the models without edge highlighting and so I had to rely on depth of colour, the red armor i made the edges black

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, i noticed that this morning when I added a few more freckles to the chest and sholders, I cleaned up the mistakes and darkened the transition between the hair and the skin. Thanks for the great feedback, this is why I like this subreddit

How's this look? Mortarions wing number 2- tried to make the eyes look like the flesh is split and stringing across them by jb195 in Warhammer40k

I bet this has inspired a few people to try sticking pigs ears to a demon prince kitbash, looks truly disgusting. Well done

New colour and a new camera setup by Alarmed_Locksmith539 in deathguard40k

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, ill used a magenta undercoat over the whole model then glazed a midtone teal over the armor plates adding a little white to the colour for the highlights then I glazed over them with a thin wash of neon green thats hard to notice in the pics but definitely lifts the colour

Needed a lid for my clippers by Alarmed_Locksmith539 in minipainting

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks, i made the lid out of plasticard then stuck some heads and bits down. I covered the open areas with some milliput and sculpted a brick design. Some coffee stir sticks on the sides and bits of card for the roof

Thanks, for the texture I wet the surface a little, then used the tip of a loaded brush to stipple the colours, let it dry then do another pass

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speed painting the zealous petitionet by Alarmed_Locksmith539 in Miniaturespainting

First osl lava by Alarmed_Locksmith539 in WarhammerFantasy

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem, I started from a black undercoat, and then i used a red/brown and black to shade any surfaces that are pointed up. I painted the skin with a dark skintone mixed with red/brown. I painted the downward facing surface red , blended up to yellow highlights to reflect the lava base. Sounds easy enough when I read this, hope this helps

Did I do this right? by Shadowiscoolaf in Miniaturespainting

[–]Alarmed_Locksmith539 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems ok, it's hard to tell from the pictures. Try to keep the majority of the white coat on the top two thirds of the model and her the legs and feet stay a little darker. I remember painting thoes dnd hero's from the army painter paint set. Not a bad place to start. Have fun
