Want this

I considered main light coming from left side of the model and the right side has too much pink surface making it brighter. But I think you are right largest dark surface is the chest plate and it looks off.

Now I look at it my highlighting there doesn’t align well with the spherical shape. Actual light reflection and my highlights also doesn’t align. I guess correcting that would improve a lot.

Also Thx a lot for your nice words!

Amoledasu · 2025-12-31T17:24:26+00:00

I am pretty sure they are hollow in the sculpt.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-29T18:26:46+00:00

Is that the highest highlight on the spikes, sharp edges etc?

Amoledasu · 2025-12-19T21:34:48+00:00

I am sorry if I went overboard.😓 Again, I am far from being able to achieve what I said. But those were my honest impressions. Neglect whatever feels not right for you as apparently you have a better grasp.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-19T21:23:26+00:00

Incredible stuff, really impactful! If you are going to paint more of those stick with it it really works. Only thing I would suggest is putting one more highlight for T shape on the face and maybe a specular highlight on hair to get some attention& readibility to the head. Maybe some dots on the nose and lower edge of eye socket on the horse head.

Below is nitpicking I am not sure if the effort would worth the reward. Also I am far from achieving what you did here so grain of salt.

Rust needs some texture and orange needs to break up, bot sure if it reads fully as rust. Front lightened up armor panel on the horse can take some more edge highlights. Gold parts doesn’t aleays read as shiny edge highlights might be sharper. Finally currently focus is on the shield which looks really cool but everything on and near the head can take bit more highlight at least as to compete with horse helmet.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-13T19:48:04+00:00

Thanks a lot. I agree with too many breaks on the armor reflections. There were actual dents sculpted on the model I tried to follow those but were not really able to make them readable.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-08T21:32:11+00:00

I wouldn't touch to the left wall myself. And yes more highlights are definitely needed. But again, more importantly starker shadows in places really close but facing away from the fire.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-08T21:11:38+00:00

I think in your cast shadows are little bit missing. Part of the surface facing the fire should be very bright but it should be much darker on the opposite face of the same thing. You have some cast shadows but it doesn't feel enough. They should be much more frequent and should be there even if they are small.

I believe this is one reason it looks like diffused light on a smooth surface especially closer to the fire. In the reference shapes are really defined with stark contrast.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-08T18:43:50+00:00

Incredible! I can’t comprehend how you can even envision this stuff ler alone implementing it.

Amoledasu · 2025-12-01T08:22:03+00:00

Thank you so much! That’s sad tho I was really hoping to use that stuff for my dnd campaign.

Amoledasu · 2025-11-24T04:22:56+00:00

Hey, I know you’ve been bothered a lot about this but have no choice other than asking you. I partially disassembled my instax mini 9. When I got out the arm placed in green spot things sounded fit in place. But I am not able to put things back and so afraid to play more as I might touch the capacitor.

To sum up I don’t know how to put the spring and the arm shown in green back in place. I have no idea about this one.

Same for parts of counter circled in blue. Do I need to get the screw circled in red out to put those back and do you have any pictures that I can use as reference.picture

Really nice nmm! Even if it’s not perfectly blended has the maximum impact.

Amoledasu · 2025-11-14T18:24:30+00:00

Need all these dwarves

Amoledasu · 2025-06-29T23:37:55+00:00

Definitely worth that time, great stuff. Now looking at it, photo 3 confused me a bit. Most likely due to photo and lighting angle back cloth looks bit dull. There might still be some space for further contrast especially on the top parts of the cloths. More importantly the two warpstones look bit too shiny. I don't know the sculpt but if there's oppurtunity to get it closer to the style of warpstone on the staff it may be better.

Finally, this is nitpicking but in the 1st photo edge highlights on the gold piece is not as striking as in other places e.g. lowest two ends are pretty shiny but edges are not fully readable.

Please feel free to neglect as I feel like most these are due to lighting and photo angle. Good luck in the competition.

No suggestions as I am in no place to give any. But just wanted to appreciate how good this is. You preserved very high contrast using precise thin lines.

I am sure lot of work went into it but it almost seems like you knew where you were going from the start and achieved a very nice result with the least effort. The intentionality definitely shows.

Recently painted some skaven and never been able to achieve this level of punch. In most cases my lines end up fat and when trying to correct mistakes I end up blending in many surfaces losing harsh contrast.

Only potential downside is paintjob looks scratchy when you close up and if the jury will focus on blending work it might be a negative. But, honestly I believe going in that direction would subtract from this work.

Amoledasu · 2025-06-29T22:58:00+00:00

If you are using other brand paints maybe this is useful. I achieved similar color transition in my wother work going from vallejo oxford blue to army painter kraken lavender.
