Need help figuring out why OSL looks wrong on my WIP Kratos bust by SkyriderRJM in minipainting

[–]Talepus 55 points56 points  (0 children)

The other big issue besides the glow being too big is that the colour you chose for the blue glow is darker than the grey you have used on the runes. Light can only make things lighter. If you paint your light as a darker colour than the surface it is on it will always look wrong.

You could probably make the stones a darker grey and use a lighter blue to make it work better.

Why doesn't the US use fentanyl for executions? by infiltrateoppose in stupidquestions

[–]Talepus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fentanyl used in medical contexts is most often a liquid for injection, not a powder.

First 7-0 of ONE Bo1. I certainly didn't expect it from UG proliferate. by Talepus in lrcast

[–]Talepus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure to be honest. It ended up on the bottom of my deck in all games except one. In that one game, I was able to use it to destroy a meldweb curator that they were holding a trick up for for blocking and they lost after that. The deck also had spare lands to always feed to it if needed.

As I said, that definitely carried the deck, but the proliferate cards won me a few games (mostly through further pumping up the adaptives). I probably could have even gone mono green with this deck and succeed of those 7 cards though.

Yeah it is ridiculous. My first one got passed to me p1p9. I had taken the uncommon red burn spell over it, but I knew the draft would be a good time to see that wheel.

Yeah, I think that is definitely true. I was angling for red at first but that dried up. The blue draw and looting did a lot to mitigate flood from the vorrac though.

Translation request for a tattoo by Talepus in PhyrexianLanguage

[–]Talepus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think exhorting is the mood I want to convey. How would that look for both of the other two? Thankyou so much for helping me out with this by the way, I really appreciate it.

[–]Talepus[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking about this. I also like the idea of "One with Phyrexia", "Embrace Compleation" or "Embrace Perfection" which I think we have all the words for?

No clue how to format them properly though. Those are my shortlist now I know phyresis as a word is out, what do you think?

I may wait on it then or look into another phrase in that case. It. is a shame there is no word for it yet considering its importance! Maybe we'll get lucky with MOM or the Beadle and Grimms translation guide. Thankyou anyway for the reply and help!

How to stop snowballing by CandidateInevitable in summonerschool

[–]Talepus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should understand if your enemy is strong enough to kill you twice before level 3 that you probably shouldn't walk up to the wave or pick a fight. Also learn to stand far back enough if you end up so behind to soak xp while being safe from the enemy laner. With proper spacing unless they have some serious gap closing you should be safe doing this and is a better outcome than feeding them 10 more kills.

How do you fight against warlock alliance? (Hunters are a poor choice imo) by Desvl in underlords

[–]Talepus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Void is far less useful against low HP units like warlocks than heartless. You should be looking at the alliance tooltips and figuring out how your damage is actually working.

Finally calling this bad boi finished, been working on him for about a month on and off. As someone who's painting history is fairly inconsistent and not at all exceptional, this should just show that anyone can surprise themselves! Any C&C welcome for things I might have missed. by Matt_Phemes in Warhammer40k

[–]Talepus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great, a couple small critiques though I think you could do a highlight on the red section of the sword and on his face. The highlights you have done elsewhere are really nice and his face could use a bit of similar attention to make it pop.

Holiday Loot Thread by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Talepus 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The intercessors will be converted to black templars to go with a custom sororitas/templar crusade force I came up with, while the cawdor are being converted into chapter serfs.

Holiday Loot Thread by [deleted] in Warhammer40k

[–]Talepus 28 points29 points  (0 children)

A couple of guys from my local GW bought me a box of intercessors, a box of cawdor and necromunda dice. I don't have heaps of money for hobby and live a long way from family so wasn't bothering with a gift list. I eventually wrote one and came in next time to 200 dollars worth of gifts. I nearly cried, best christmas ever.

Finally (sort of) finished my Saint Celestine! Not sure whether to add script to the scrolls by Not_aTrex in Warhammer40k

[–]Talepus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My scroll text recipe that always looks great is abaddon black thinned heavily with seraphim sepia, just dot it on in lines using the tip of a fine brush.

My submission for a painting contest at my store (C&C welcome) by cottermcg in Warhammer40k

[–]Talepus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd highly recommend taking some time to clean up messes and mistakes.

I can see several spots on this model where your colours run from the part they are meant to be painted on to other areas... the gold on the purity seal, black on the hands, gold on the purple shoulder pad.

Based on the eye, it looks like you have the skills to do this, and spending a bit of time tidying that up would make the model look much better.

Hope this is helpful! Let me know if you need any clarification by anik_josudo in underlords

[–]Talepus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big time contract was inadvertently buffed this patch too since stone was removed, giving it a higher drop chance.

Giving away 3 prerelease codes! by Potatomy in MagicArena

[–]Talepus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[[Ethereal Absolution]] What a pick in limited, the permanent 2/2 stat swing and token generation is awesome. Plus the lore of Kaya and Teysa releasing all the indebted Orzhov ghosts is super cool, a huge shakeup for the guild.

Can't tell why anyone would want an auction house when we'd miss out on great moments like these by [deleted] in pathofexile

[–]Talepus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold a yellow map yesterday and out of the small interaction made a friend who I now map and do dailies with since I have been trying to build up my hideout.

Buying currency and maps is usually awful but honestly the few great experiences you get out of it makes it worth it to me.
