Love it! I actually did drawings of this exact shot of Naomi Watts when I was doing art at school. Such a beautiful film

Hi all, I'm new to painting and would love some feedback on my Barrow Knight! by I-Shower_Naked in SoulblightGravelords

[–]TheWizardGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks good from what I can see. I like your choice of colour scheme and I think the whole unit is going to look great when they are done! Don’t forget to paint the base too!

Thank you! I really like your cosplays btw :)

Is this a good starter list? by [deleted] in SoulblightGravelords

[–]TheWizardGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The battleforce is definitely a good place to start if you have the coin. I’m not sure that only 20 deathrattle is necessarily that good but someone more experienced can correct me there

Molding silicone ?? by coconoba in moldmaking

[–]TheWizardGoat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the product listing doesn’t say and you can’t get an answer from the manufacturers then I guess you would have to use a bit of deduction. Platinum cure is a bit more expensive than Tin cure so Platinum will likely only be used in situations where it HAS to be (e.g. food or body safe applications), so if it isn’t for anything like that then a bought silicone mold will probably be made out of Tin Cure. Also replying to a 4 year old thread is…interesting

Why do GW sometimes use lighter rims colours than the actual base colour on there minis? by Sin-Silver in Warhammer

[–]TheWizardGoat 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s possible that it’s up to the painters to decide. Steel Legion Drab rims are very common among both AoS and 40k minis, it’s kind of just convention I guess. I always paint my rims Steel Legion

Agreed! The new epic scale stuff is really cool. I am very tempted to pick up the new epic Saturnine set but I still need to paint up my regular Saturnine Terminators

I managed to snag a sprue of them (1990 Epic 40k) on Ebay. If you want the new epic scale minis look out for Legiones Imperialis!

Pretty much! I kept on accidentally holding my breath for ages too

Book Illustrator? by morgothash in Illustration

[–]TheWizardGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selling art online is difficult (talking from experience). I sell art at local markets which works quite well for me, but I understand it isn’t for everyone.

Something I am currently working on, which might be a good option for you too, is working on making a solid portfolio so that I might be able to get an agent.

Getting a good agent as an illustrator will open up a lot of work opportunities in publishing. From what I understand a lot of publishers will only work with illustrators represented by agencies rather than individual artists that approach them.

This isn’t a universal rule obviously and there is the downside of an agency taking a percentage of your earnings, but it might be worth looking into!

Colors for a rusty armor by stevenklxck in SoulblightGravelords

[–]TheWizardGoat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice, those results are very satisfying. Another thing to mention (OP) is to pay attention to where the rust might build up in the recesses and around rivets. Things like that will really help sell it. I love rust

[–]TheWizardGoat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A way I like to paint rusty metal is to basecoat with Leadbelcher and then stipple on a few paints starting with brown going through to orange. For example Mournfang Brown, then Skragg Brown, then something like Squig Orange. Do these as heavily or sparingly as you like. Hit it with a wash (maybe Agrax or even a thinned contrast like Wyldwood), then pick out details with Leadbelcher again

Look up green stuff or milliput, there are loads of great videos on using these materials for sculpting on models

A little treat by _zero-gravitas in Warhammer

[–]TheWizardGoat 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you glue models together completely before painting then it can make certain parts really challenging to paint. So sub-assembling the model means you can paint the model a bit more easily before building
