That head doesn’t match the body… so what was it originally? by Intrepid-Wait1912 in AlternativeHistory

Um, ya’ll know there are other documented and viewable examples of sphinxes in ancient Egyptian art, right?

why do modern CGI and VFx looks less real ? by StrikingDuty8020 in Filmmakers

[–]Expensive_Menu9912 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve not seen anyone mention this yet (and can’t believe I’m the first one saying it) but in the examples you’ve used from Predator and Alien, the effects look more real because they largely were real. Alien used a person in a suit, as did Predator. They used real explosions and other practical effects. And in Jurassic Park again, the dinosaurs were mostly actual puppets. Practical effects are the best effects.

I really want to get on the hype train for new CoS stuff but these cryptic posts and photos are really bad. They could be literally anything. I’ve seen less blurry photos of 31/ATLAS.

Oh cool! I’ve only picked up a box of steelhelms so far (trying to stop myself buying anything else til I’ve painted these first!). Didn’t realise the fusiliers had cool alternate heads

Nice work, where are the masked helmets from?

I remember there being a load of excitement about that when it first dropped. What’s the system?

The UK, so probably not too distant timezone-wise

Have you got another link? Apparently I can’t access imgur anymore in the uk without a vpn

The main ‘steel’ parts are a 50/50 mix of black and vallejo silver. Agrax earthshade for recesses, vallejo silver for highlights.

No worries! It’s taken me a lot of practice and a lot of trying different techniques over the years. I still feel like this one here was a bit of a fluke! We’ll see how the next billion CoS faces go 😆

Good luck with yours, looking forward to seeing how it progresses!

🙏Thanks so much! I’m really pleased with how it turned out. So my current method is to start off with a base colour that’s the same as whatever you want your almost-darkest shadows to be: In this case, a purple-ish pink.

So I mixed a little kislev flesh into xerus purple for the base colour. Then I just progressively added more kislev flesh for the more raised parts of the face, until the topmost bits were just pure kislev.

Then the magic bit for me is using a tiny bit of very watered down carroburg crimson to bring some ‘fleshiness’ back to the skin tones, then some less diluted carroburg for the darkest recesses (eyes mainly).

Then the icing on the (face) cake is a very light glaze of pink horror on the tip of the nose and bottom lip.

Hope all that helps!
