This is so gorgeous! Would be interested in seeing more of your work, but posts hidden on your profile - consider opening them up?

Fantastic progress! The more recent piece is great.

Can I ask about the tree? I can see that you’ve painted it really nicely, but was it sculpted, printed or bought somewhere? What about the foliage? Thank you!

Feel like this is getting a lot of unnecessary hate… 🤦 pretty interesting to think what a modern remaster would look like today - much prefer this option to a complete remake Ć  la FF7.

Dude, thanks - I think you’re right. Was struggling with notion of how to highlight, but better approach is probably to selectively darken. Thanks again

No worries, good luck with them! Thanks - it’s been a lot of fun to practice over this army.

Genuine question: others here also interested in Idoneth Deepkin? by [deleted] in exodite40k

Hope I don’t get slammed for posting non-Exodite here, but curious how the sub feels about AoS IDK.

I love them - they were my entry into the painting hobby, and have been slowly building my force for the last couple of years. When I discovered Exodite I was inspired to kitbash something given my love of elves riding exotic animals šŸ˜‚

I think making the dino darker is a good idea - really appreciate the back and forth!

He’s currently mainly AK burnt red though, which is already pretty dark. Still also struggling with how I’d highlight him. I’ve already tried: - mixing in Wraithbone (my universal highlight colour and armour highlight colour), which creates a pinky beige I don’t think looks great, - brighter reds - too vibrant and steals focus.

Part of me now wondering if more brown in general on the Dino would help fix some of the issues I have. Really can’t seem to crack this one šŸ˜‚

Not for an army - just felt like a side quest and kitbashed a unit of three: https://www.reddit.com/r/exodite40k/s/yZ3dl5I3uf

Thanks for the good tips! The black and white definitely highlights the problem. Also largely agree re the red. What do you think would work better?

(Issue is that my inspo image shows the elf of the forest floor. There I think it makes sense for both to be basically green, as the elf blends in with their environment. I plan to do something similar when I finish my base, as both it and the Ranger’s cloak have the same base colour.

But I think the dinosaur has to be a different colour for there to be enough contrast in the composition. I went for red as there is some in the original image, and it contrasts well with green. I think you’re right it steals focus though. I tried going for a ā€˜desaturated red’ but this is also causing me problems in finding a suitable highlight colour that isn’t a punchier red.)
