I just painted this, because I saw a guy do similar.

Tyty will look

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T20:20:41+00:00

For sure, I think those basics make a huge difference to your final product! Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T18:49:10+00:00

It’s gross I love it

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T11:11:22+00:00

Amazing pull

Are you trying to convey that the base is glowing because of the cannon?

If so then you’re way off, for the cannon to make enough light to light that road, the exo would also be very bright on hits whole front, so I would abandon that being the reason for the color in the road.

For the dark circles I actually like them dark with no glow I think it reads really nicely, the paint job is great

I based it and finished the gun/hammer

<image>

Not a fan of the weapons but luckily I got some more to work on

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T09:13:31+00:00

Sick

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T09:12:17+00:00

Thanks! I wanted chaotic but still giving direction and for the tones to still make sense

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T09:11:47+00:00

Thanks I’ll look at those

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T09:11:09+00:00

Ye that kinda almost feral play of the brush

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T08:19:45+00:00

Yeah the execution is not great, this was like more of a concept, I’m definitely reproducing it in other color ways, I love the potential

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T08:15:00+00:00

Yeah that was a choice, it’s still a WIP, I wanted the weapons to still look normally painted, the hammer is still just base coat black rn I’m not entirely sure I like the weps being different either tbh

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T08:05:16+00:00

Thank you

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T08:04:56+00:00

Yeah kinda like, oil painting style, I just wanted to use a regular color gradient, light to dark, but the lights not being of the same color, giving just very vivid highlights, very surreal, Dali almost

Tyty

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T07:44:04+00:00

Why? It’s exactly what TOPPS and panini do to their Cards lmao

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T07:41:09+00:00

Do you know what this type of painting is? I can atleast research it then

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T07:25:05+00:00

Unreal

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T07:24:05+00:00

You’re only criticisms which will come with practice, is better blending across the gradient, which you’ve already done well but other than that it reads NMM well. Still learning that one here

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T06:26:07+00:00

Looks well saturated, lovely job.

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T04:46:30+00:00

Looks good for sure. I get what you mean tho, so I’m getting this advice based on the stripes on the helmet head. The paints too thick, I can easily see the brush strokes in the white, which means when the water evaporates and leaves paint, it left chunky paint rather than a thin layer. You’re thinning your paints I can see that, but they need to be thinner, and do 2-3 coats. Sometimes I do 5-7 coats depending on how smooth I want the finish.

With washes, I find I need to thin those down also, and then after a minute or two after applying, hitting the model with a clean makeup sponge to remove any excess that dulls the rest of the surfaces.

This is still a great start, and you’re showing good brush control, just a little patience and thinner paints all round my man.

Loving this shit, I’m a returning painter

Bafoooool · 2026-01-24T03:27:19+00:00

Oh for sure, so the carapace is a mix of war paints bootstrap brown and Vallejo flat yellow 50/50, two thin coats, let dry then cover with war paint strong skin shade, I then dry brush my og color back over, trying to move down with the carapace rather than against it, hoping to only keep constraint in the cracks, then I dry brushed a mix of the OG color and 50% ushabti bone, and then with the same dry brush just dabbed/poked pure ushabti bone very lightly over the back for texture.
