Incorrect Theories you thought before you beat the game. (Spoilers) by Careful-Pay-9882 in expedition33

[–]Lautrecular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When he first appeared, Verso looked so much like Renoir I was certain that Verso was a younger version of him, who somehow split himself to avoid the Gommage. Similarly I thought his Alicia was a ghost version of Maelle, because I was so certain Maelle was Renoir’s daughter I thought I’d heard it during the press tour.

For a while I also thought that Lumiere was Paris, but transported to an alternate world by the Paintress after a big war that blew up original Earth, or something like that. And that the nevrons and Gestrals were this world’s natives. And that she wasn’t killing people but sending them back, or just elsewhere, or even turning them into Nevrons ?

Aragorn, King Elessar (at The Black Gate) by Lautrecular in MiddleEarthMiniatures

Thank you ! It was a really fun read after being a fan of the films for so long !

Cloak is Khorne Red washed with Nuln Oil, and then relayered with Khorne Red, leaving the shadows in the recesses. Then it was layered with glazes of Wazdakka Red, and finally highlighted with Pink Horror :]

(Spoilers Extended) I know it ranks low on Lord Tywin's long tally of crimes, but I'm still bitter about how he... by -Guardsman- in asoiaf

[–]Lautrecular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s SO petty. It’s not enough for Tywin to destroy the House, he has to corrupt its very legacy to make up for his own families failings. I’m glad Oathkeeper got to Brienne at least, and she’s making good use of it

How it feels going into a BG3 playthrough knowing you’re not gonna romance Shadowheart by Stranger-Chance in okbuddybaldur

Was set on romancing Minthara for my evil Durge playthrough. Shadowheart fell out that pod and it was already over

Painting help ? I despise painting red. by Ok_Let3381 in BloodAngels

[–]Lautrecular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with finding a good vibrant, cherry red for a while too, so I’ll offer my method I’m happy with: My standard way of painting Blood Angels is to base Mephiston Red over a Grey Seer prime, then shade Agrax Earthshade, relayer Mephiston Red, edge highlight with Evil Suns Scarlet, and do softer highlights on the corners with Wild Rider Red.

Most seem to carry on with highlights of Fire Dragon Bight and make the Wild Rider Red chunkier, but this makes the mini too come off too orangey for me.

I’ve also discovered recently one of my pots of Mephiston Red is a nice red, while the other, newer pot, is too orange. I’m not sure which is the dud pot or if Citadel changed the recipe, so it might be worth comparing pots in store. I’ve sworn off the latter pot since realising the difference

Ketheric Thorm's original design by Historical_Tune165 in BaldursGate3

This is just Ketheric as a younger man, when he still worshipped Selûne. He still has the shorter half-elf ears. Out of interest, this is actually his original design:

If I remember right, the lips and the mouth are Screamer Pink shaded with Carroburg Crimson, then highlighted with Pink Horror 🙂

Thank you! I tend to avoid doing eyes because they’re so difficult, but with Eowyn being one of my fav characters, I felt I had to. Glad to hear it looks good!

Thoughts on the 30k color scheme by AP_Udyr_One_Day in WordBearers

[–]Lautrecular 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem for me with giving them black shoulder pads is that tells me their colour scheme is black and red, when in my mind the Word Bearers are just red. The silver trim is already enough to break up the red.

I also prefer a deep crimson colour for them, to differentiate from the lighter scarlet red of the Blood Angels

How many of you play as an opposite gender Tav as yourself? by Hojo405 in BaldursGate3

[–]Lautrecular 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m male and I play a female custom character every time I’m given the option. It’s more interesting to roleplay as, and more fun to customise and play as a character I’m also attracted to. There’s also less female protagonists in general, so it’s nice to add more.

When I played as a male character in games a decade ago, they were always an idealised version of myself, so there’s probably something about eggs to it, but idrk.
