I like that marbled effect, too. How did you do it?

Cadaver Junkie · August 15th, 2008, 06:11

Oh man I want in! Probably a little late for me though...still have to buy a digital camera!

...I'll post again tomorrow if I actually find one!

Going to paint me another imperial fist.

Jon, he looks good buddy, I have to say though, I think you're wrong, the hammer really does pop out of the mini IMO.
My one suggestion for change would be to 'brown-ify' your NMM golds, they look a little yellow for me, especially next to the blonde beard.

Very nice though.

Looks like I'll probably be entering the Elf I have WIP rather than the mini I wanted to enter. I am too slow at this painting lark...

-t.

A week to go and I've only just started. Oh well, here's to some late nights.

Jon Quixote · August 15th, 2008, 20:32

Thanks for the praise guys.

It means a lot, as you are my peers, and it's what keeps me painting. (That and the non-existant love life. *plays worlds smallest violin in c minor*)

The marble was done by following the link -t (?) provided in a 'how to paint marble' thread last week.

Here:
Painting & Patterns

Come on guys, I've paint three, you've got to do at least one!

*Packs bags for Spain*

See ya.

Heck, how many can we enter? I've just finished a gorger, too. And Skrag is up next.

Jon, I saw that marble tutorial as well and couldn't resist. Unfortunately, due to the crappyness of my camera, you can't hardly see..but...here it is, my very first space marine. I don't like his helmet all that much, but, for some reason, my firsts of anything always have funny looking heads.
Here's both sets of pictures...it looks the same, but, each one was taken from a different distance, trying to catch different details. I really need a real camera...

Before this piece, I've never done highlights, nor marble, and I know I'm not that great at painting in general! But here we go!

You can't judge how well the models painted by these pictures to blurry mabye borrow someone elses

xhivetyrantx · August 16th, 2008, 22:13

xhivetyrantx · August 17th, 2008, 13:16
