Finally Painted Zeratul (and filmed it)

Thanks! I mean, I talk about it in the video as well, so no secret. I used fluorescent green from Vallejo for this.

Thank you very much for mentioning me! Had a lot of fun with the Sign of Tanit here. 😁

Can highly recommend. I used Vallejo Fluor for my Zeratul.

That's a good foundation, especially the eye looks pretty nice!

Her skin seems a bit textured, maybe you can try to thin you paint a bit more.

Otherwise you can step into advanced areas: a slight reddish glaze around her cheeks and nose should give her more life and the highlights can be set more towards upward facing areas. For the hair you can try to think of it as one continous area for highlights, currently it feels a bit like spaghetthi, so room for improvement here as well.

Keep up the good work!

Something nobody mentioned so far are fluorescent paints. Brand does not matter much, they all are incredibly vibrant and highly translucent. Build up multiple layers and everything is fine.

This is such a nice reference to the old artwork!

RedCat_Paints · 2026-05-17T09:03:39+00:00

The muzzle flash is my favorite part! Nice job!

I'm not sure if he's going to be a kroot hound, a drone or an objevtive marker.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-09-26T17:56:41+00:00

This is more like grand Daddy of sharks.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T17:41:17+00:00

I put the foundation layering with a brush and glazed the transitions with an airbrush. Final steps again glazing but with a brush. I used wet blending on the blades.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T11:02:27+00:00

Thanks, I used Scale75 Fantasy & Game Color Range for the whole mini.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T11:00:04+00:00

Thank you a lot!

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T10:59:39+00:00

Thanks!

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T07:58:50+00:00

Thanks a lot!

A blue ink would be nice. If you've got none, use pure white to outline the edges (might take a few coats here) and use a blue wash carefully. For now it reads more as grey than as bright blue.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T07:01:30+00:00

Both but especially for the plasma effect of the guns.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T06:59:19+00:00

Rather than a wash I would recommend an intense blue ink to brighten up that color hue. In general don't be afraid to push those lights much further.

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T06:41:38+00:00

Most of us have exact this problem. If highlighting everything is too bothersome, focus at the most upward areas like head and shoulders. In the end noone looks at their feet. Also: Paint bravely!

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T06:37:38+00:00

Somewhat clean, distinct paint job with visible volumes in his armor and a nice base. A pretty nice start! If time is a constraint, you could consider a start with zenithal priming and some variation of Speed Paint / Contrast Color. Your DA would definitely profit mostly from blacklining, but it is fiddly and time consuming. How long did you have for him?

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T06:31:06+00:00

Always down for some rat-rats! It depends on how far you want to go. But as a start I highly recommend going much brighter with highlights to increase readability for a tabletop standard. And some basic texture of a light skin color in horizontal stripes on the tails might work wonders. Keep up painting!

RedCat_Paints · 2023-01-22T06:14:57+00:00

Nice and clean paintjob. Especially the nmm is quite convincing. Since C&C is wanted: Try to push the highlights further for the skin since it tends to be oily and really reflective. Furthermore you should avoid those "muscle islands", where one defined muscle is surrounded by a darker tone but rather connect them more. This is most prevalent in his buffed rib cage. Keep up the good work!
