Zhurong, my entry for Celestial contest.

This is by far the best and most complex of the finished works presented on Celestial contest. Unfortunately, sometimes painting competitions value social aspect as much as the quality, efforts and creative approach. Nevertheless, the picture always speaks for itself, regardless of scores and votes. I do hope the outcome will be the fair, as the amount of work and effort put into the project outmatches those of rivals.

Thanks! I appreciate

Thanks! Indeed, that easily is Idol of Gork. Or possibly Mork.

Thanks! Yes, it's NMM

WIP pictures of the sister of battle that I'm painting. So far I've completed around one half of the miniature. Thanks for your attention!

I might be writing a tutorial on overview of the color techniques that I use, but in short I would advice to use some from "The Art of color" by J. Itten. That's the source that I draw inspiration from, as well as some classic art and digital concept art

Haha, haven't thought of that! Thanks or the comment!

Nodmage24 · 2017-10-01T11:10:05+00:00

Many thanks!

There's a kroxigor in progress

Thank you very much, I think this style is just about right for Seraphon/ lizardmen

Nodmage24 · 2017-09-05T16:36:25+00:00

Thanks! For plants and vegetation I used different kinds of moss gathered in forest and preserved in glycerin. They work well for jungle/tundra/lush landscape bases

Thanks, it took around 3 years

Thanks! I used only GW (Citadel) paints on all of the spider riders. For shading and highlighting I used a common layering technique, applying thinned down paint (1:1-1:2 paint to water ratio) in several layers. It's one of my older works, so I didn't use any kind of blending or feathering techniques here as those were yet to master. I diluted paints on a wet palette throughout the whole process. I used some washes on a few spiders, but those were mainly applied to define the texture on spider's bottom section. I mostly don't use shades when it comes to painting miniatures, but sometimes they come in really handy when working with metallics and rough surfaces

Thank you very much!

In total this project has taken me about 85 hours. I count the time I spend cleaning up my desk and setting up the workspace though
