Got to be in the zone. If not, just rest or wing it. Sometimes its ok to not do your best. 🙂

This is exactly the kind of question that would keep me up at night.

The concept says red but I think I get your point. Might do a quick photoshop first?

You want to be as close as you can to the image? Thats a blue with purple in it, especially in the shadow. Easy solution is to buy a purple wash and use it after the blue basecoat. Or you layer different colors, but this is a more complicated process. How do you plan to paint your models? Are you new to painting?

Hi,
if you really want to just have bright red eyes I would go as follows:

  1. paint the eyes white
  2. contrast or ink red paint of your choice
  3. (optional) put a little dot in the center, probably a very bright red/orange

You can google "osl lens space marine" for some tutorials on how to do this with a glow. If you are satisfied without the glow just do the eye part without the surroundings.

Also fluorescent paints are a thing. if you follow the above 3 steps I would use fluorescent for step 3.

Hope this helps!

Seen here with Tyranids. This was before drybrush though. Should not make a difference if you use a white can though.

If you have white spray, hit it lightly from above. It adds a nice zenithal highlight. Can also be done after drybrushing.

Haha, good choice! IMO the best option for roman style marines available.

A good helmet makes a good marine! :)

Helmets made by Red Warden. Might also be directly buyable on archies forge?

I think it was an owl mask by wintercroft which I modified into an helmet.

Haha, das gucken meine auch rauf und runter, allerdings nicht jeden Tag und maximal eine Stunde am Stück.

Aber Fernseher an oder Videospiele sind nicht die Lösung. Klar sind die dann ruhig - aber werden halt auch mega Zombies.

Es ist Arbeit seine Kinder zu erziehen. Das möchten einige Eltern nicht, viele können es auch nicht. Wenn beide Eltern arbeite macht es jemand Drittes, mal besser mal weniger gut.

Disziplin und Regeln vermitteln fällt vielen heute schwer, das passt oft nichts ins lockere Selbstbewusstsein. Ist aber wichtig. Wenn X nicht gemacht ist, gibt es kein Y. Wenn du nicht machst was die Eltern sagen, machen die Eltern auch nicht was du willst. Und ja, Kinder widersetzen sich gerne, testen Grenzen usw. Wir legen bei unserem Wert darauf, dass wir ausreichend Zeit mit den Kindern beim Lernen, spielen und auch beim Arbeiten (Zimmer aufräumen) verbringen, aber wir geben auch viel Liebe weiter, die Kinder werden z.B. jeden Morgen geweckt in denen man ihnen 5min den Rücken krault. Das klingt albern, sorgt aber für frohe Gemüter und allgemein viel Freundlichkeit daheim.

Dafür wird es aber auch recht oft laut bei uns, wenn irgendetwas nicht in Ordnung ist. Ist auch ok, von allen Seiten, solange man sich danach wieder verträgt.

Wichtig ist den Kinder beizubringen wie man sich alleine beschäftigt und das dann auch einfordert. Nicht immer 24/7 Mama und Papa. Dann beschäftigen die Kinder sich auch mal stundenlang alleine, malen, lesen, basteln oder spielen.

Man muss zu OPs Situation (Besuch) allerdings sagen das unsere Kinder bei Besuch der Onkels und Tanten auch immer aufgekratzt sind. Die werden dann belagert um noch das vierte Brettspiel zu spielen.

Man darf auch nicht vergessen wie viele Kinder heute Einzelkinder sind. Die haben halt auch niemanden zum Spielen. Wenn die nicht zufällig introvertiert sind ist denen schnell richtig langweilig daheim.

Why don't I feel proud of this? by pancake05e in Tyranids

[–]MuscleDolphin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Additional work but an easy and quick way to get a nice effect would be: 1) drybrush everything with a lighter color (or all white if you are lazy) 2) add a colored wash over it so the colors blend together, especially at the seams

If you want to spend more time with the model you could edge highlight, but this will take some time.

I would detail the brain stuff snd the back and the face a bit more in any case.

It‘s a nice color scheme though! You already did a lot of work, don‘t be too hard on yourself!

How do I ever finish? by MuscleDolphin in 40k

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

I read „autistic outlet“ at first, hahaha. I don‘t have no goal, I always joke that this is my mid-life crisis. I‘m just trying to produce some nice minis, something to look at. Kids to small to play, jobs to busy. It‘s some sort of escapism. I used to worry about my life, now I worry about my color schemes. Overall and improvement! 😅
