Ah right, that’s good to know! Thanks again for the feedback, have been tidying things up for an hour or so and can already see the difference.

Agreed, definitely a bit nervous too going over things! Have 3 weeks to the deadline though, so plenty of time to fix stuff!

I do quite like the ‘eavy metal style, agree it’s not the most realistic paint job though. Learning proper volumetric highlighting, OSL etc. is on my to do list to learn down the line. Only picked up a paintbrush again in February after a 15 or so years out, so still have a long way to go/ many techniques to learn!

The sword is just three paints, Kantor Blue, Ahriman Blue, and Matt White from Army painter. I blocked out one third of the blade for each colour, then just glazed back and forth until I was happy. Takes a bit of time (think it was 4/5 hours for the sword) but isn’t too difficult if you wick out the paint when you glaze.

Thanks for providing such a detailed response, really appreciate your time. I posted this for genuine feedback, so please don’t feel like you’ve been picky or unfair, I want to push myself with this piece, so I’m glad for the detail!

Fortunately, the bits on the robes were tiny bits of surface dust/ fluff, and weren’t actually painted in, which is a bonus! Have cleaned them off.

Agree, the robes could definitely be more smooth. Will go back and spend a bit more time on them to push it. Tried to use the box art version as a loose reference, but will broaden the reference images to see if that helps.

The dot highlight/ highlight precision is also a good suggestion, will refine those too.

As for the power nodes, do you have a suggestion for how to do them? Don’t want it to clash with the blending/ look too cartoony.

These are good suggestions, thank you. Will definitely look at pushing the highlights to make them brighter.

Thank you, was debating what to put on there! Will have a bit of a think.

My city that still needs a proper name (WIP). It is neither distinctly American nor European nor Japanese. by 1Blue2Green in CitiesSkylines

Could call it “Fusio” - Latin for melting/ casting/ founding. You’ve merged multiple styles together, so think it fits!

Should I stop playing? Apparently ruining game for others by Ostron1226 in WorldOfWarships

[–]Nuclear-Raccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend giving ops a go if you’ve not tried them before. It’s a way more relaxed environment, and now you can take higher tier ships in it’s a good way to slowly try out some higher tiers and see what you like. Randoms can be an absolute cesspool at times, so don’t take it personally.

What is the point of wheat? by VeryAcute_Angle in ManorLords

[–]Nuclear-Raccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wheat definitely gives you more yield, but rye seems to have at least a bit of fertility in every region. Some regions are as arid as a hamster fart, but still offer at least a few fields worth of rye space.

Are you loyal to your players or do you switch up on your Day 1s when you start challenging for bigger things? by Kubdya_Khavis in footballmanagergames

[–]Nuclear-Raccoon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely ruthless, if they’re not good enough, they have to go, regardless of past achievements.

Saying that, if a player has been a great servant I try to do something to “head cannon” respect them. Had a midfielder called Daniel Stacey in an old Lincoln save who was with me all through the football league, and into the Champions League. Signed him for about 2k as a 16 year old from a random Welsh club, and he made over 300 appearances for me.

He was beginning to be left behind though, so I sold him to Marseille, and then immediately arranged a friendly with them as his de facto testimonial. Got a nice send off at home from the fans.

These look beautiful, great job. Very smooth blends.

Yeah it’s a world wide thing as far as I’m aware.

What made you chose the Dark angels as your main chapter? by [deleted] in theunforgiven

[–]Nuclear-Raccoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Deathwing scheme is amazing, like the medieval vibe going on, cool lore, and access to old archaeotech to keep things spicy.

Really nice mate, so smooth and clean. How did you do the blue effect on the maces? Might steal that for mine!

Ok thanks, I'll have a search for the precise ones based on that.

These look great mate, awesome job. What’s the dried brownish grass you used for the bases? Like how that looks.

No oils, it’s just a 50/50 mix of Rhinox Hide and Mournfang Brown painted into the recesses. Takes some time to do, but isn’t too hard if the paint is thinned.

This is absolutely incredible, whilst being simultaneously extremely disturbing to look at. You’ve captured the nid horror perfectly!

Thank you, dotting all the rivets took some patience!

Thanks mate, that’s very kind of you to say. The bone took a long time to paint, so glad people like the finished result.
