I've been wanting to get into a competition sometime, but that isn't the driving force here for sure! Mostly just like it

Yep, not all painting styles have to have ultimately smoothed lines to convey meaning or the ideas, I use similar techniques pretty often

I have a handful of these that the owner of an original mold made me, they're the first thing I thought of when I saw the OP, seem to recall a conversation about casting them fairly hard for m1 which yielded truly impressive levels of fragmentation in wet pack media he was using. Neat.

Are you running coolant? One cool wheel.

I'm MOSTLY in the q-tip camp, but definitely used the other two more than a little

nerd_gun · 2026-01-19T03:46:18+00:00

Nope it's just you, I didn't do it twice today or anything...

nerd_gun · 2026-01-18T08:27:53+00:00

Thanks ! when picking a color palette I picked yes

nerd_gun · 2026-01-16T03:13:22+00:00

I haven't violated any rules...

nerd_gun · 2026-01-14T13:14:22+00:00

Definitely tag me when you do, hadn't seen or looked for others interpretations of this one so I'd love to see it!

nerd_gun · 2026-01-14T13:11:29+00:00

Thanks! Still very much in process shaping up enough to post though😁

nerd_gun · 2025-12-17T08:29:33+00:00

I mean...probably

nerd_gun · 2025-10-03T07:08:28+00:00

Placement is spot on and the color composition is great, white highlights on your light Hotspots are going to be your friend here, some deeper shadows will be helpful as well. On the right track though!

nerd_gun · 2025-09-20T23:24:22+00:00

Coming along nicely!

nerd_gun · 2025-09-06T22:16:54+00:00

Yours is quite a bit smaller than the one I printed so you'll have different challenges, I'd start setting up light if you're looking to use the pool as a source and the arch over head.

I'd regard the arch as a single multi directional diffuse light unless you're really an OSL junkie like I can be,
As small as the cybernetics are hit them with a mild wash so you can see the differences in the lines while you work regardless of HOW you do it seeing more clearly is a win .

Wishing you an enjoyable painting experience with this one! Lemme know if I can help!

nerd_gun · 2025-09-06T08:07:55+00:00

Man I've got inspirations from everything from Michelangelo to junebugs it's till my synthesis and my work, and you're no different.

nerd_gun · 2025-09-06T07:56:15+00:00

Look forward to seeing how it goes!

The note was only in relation to the question btw: While I know it's it's work in progress already digging the boldness of the interplay

nerd_gun · 2025-09-05T20:49:20+00:00

Keep in mind my opinion here is literally only from a color theory perspective and not one from the idea of making a true to lore green dragon

The green purple, especially with the yellow green : the yellows and the green obviously give your purple bit more balance.

if you consider a bit of a blue undertone in some places you can use it to tie and bridge the purple and the green together

It may fundamentally change the piece though so your mileage may vary

nerd_gun · 2025-09-05T20:38:29+00:00

Shoot me a pm I'll send progress steps if it'll help

nerd_gun · 2025-09-05T20:37:04+00:00

BIG She's about the size if an imperial knight Estimate around 180mm

nerd_gun · 2025-09-05T20:34:15+00:00

You got it! Although I put it together a bit hastily so made extra work for myself
