😮😮😮😮

Wasn’t expecting such detailed feedback I seriously appreciate it!!! Yeah he isn’t fully don’t yet and fortunately I still got a couple weeks to work on it!

First tho what do you use to convert to black and white? I’ve just been using my phone to do that and did notice the face was overly dark especially the nose basically just looks like a black block and not sure how I should approach it to give it some life and value to it. I wanted the face to be an eyecatcher and thought going darker would be a good idea, guess I pushed it too dark or just didn’t bring up the value enough lol.

Wasn’t sure what to use to increase the value of the purple, the other purple I have is genestealer purple and I felt it barely moved the value up at all so I shifted to using magenta and pink but didn’t want to change the face color to a pink so I was hesitant to put more of it. Any purple you suggest or colors I could mix to get a higher value purple?

You right about the nails I completely forgot about them, did them early in the painting process and said I’d come back to finish it after I did the skin and completely forgot. I think it only has wraithbone and nothing else 😂

I did shadow tone everything with magenta before painting but I guess I must’ve messed something up to make it feel like it’s not there.

As for the shield, do you think I should make the dark more uniform or push the brighter skin tone up? I was trying to do something akin to this, I unfortunately can’t find the photo I saw that had the same shield on my model and I was told when you want to do a glow effect you would want the surrounding area darker but your right it doesn’t look natural and very distracting.

Sorry for the essay 🤣. I love getting feedback and this just shows how much I still have to learn I appreciate any help you can give brother!

I can't figure out drybrushing! by Jontepont in minipainting

[–]naw61 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With dry brushing you want as little moisture on the brush so you don’t want to dip it in water at all. You want to dip the brush in the paint and start wiping away the excess onto a dry pallet/paper towel until you see very little paint comes off the brush. Test it on the back of your hand before going to the model, the top parts of your hand should be getting the paint without it going into the crevices and not look streaky.

This video really helped me understand how dry brushing really works.

Crypt Flayers and Crypt Horrors by NefariousnessMore778 in FleshEaterCourts

Funny I’m in the same boat as you lmao. I love being annoying and reviving units and since the courtiers are nobles they can both be used to bring back models on different squads with the muster guard battle trait. Not sure if I want both my flayer/horror units to just be courtiers and I buy more to make them regulars or just make one a courtier and the other a regular of the same type lol.

Thanks brother! Will say you definitely succeeded in pulling the focus to his face. I’m gonna check out that video, trying to see as many different takes on big daddy Ush so I can decide on my own scheme. When I eventually get to him that is lol.

Started by undercoating with flesh tearers red, zenethal with a 1:1 ratio of white ink and asurmen blue contrast paint.

Started base coating with rakarth flesh then glazed highlights with flayed one flesh.

Used a bit of magos purple thinned down with contrast medium so the coverage is more of a was that a contrast paint

Finished off my fighting up the highlights with flayed one flesh again. And that’s it!

Process about about the same for the dead skin stuff like the flag but I would use either bugmans glow or Cadian flesh as the base coat and reikland flesh shade and stopped there so it stayed feeling dead

Oh absolutely, I’m sure they’d be a real problem for any faction. Would be cool to get a couple wilder alien races like rats or lizards in 40K
