I have been trying to get hold of this model for ages and i finally did. I painted it with a blue cloak but now that the cloak is done im not sure it looks that good. I am thinking of changing it to Red or Grey. This model isnt finished so dont bother commenting on the base and i know the thing on his back beside his grenade isnt finished.
nice colour wheel, but i think for artistic purposes a traditional RBG does a bit better, because the colours are less ‘pastel’ and stronger, which is better for miniatures who arent pansy elves.
i think the blue is fine but maybe the gold is too dark
theres nowt wrong with the helmet at all, i just thought it would be worth considering. at the end of the day theres nothing stopping you trying many different colours.
Totally repainted this guy. And made a fancy base. Ill get a better pic of the whole thing tomorrow. I never had any good light as i finished it at night.
Looks great ,alot of flaming backdraft (lay off the pork)thats some base.I did like the earlier blue too but he is now a CD that will fit with your excellent collection:hat off
The gold looked good but the beard had too think a basecoat, the blue didnt go with the rest of my army or the helmet and the staff also had a bad paint job and it just wasnt that good. Now its awesome.
The base was made by sticking a 40k base on a cavalry base then adding in some green stuff to make it look a bit more like hes standing on rock. The wasll of fire was just a bad attempt at green stuff. I made th basic shape (which completely folded in on itself casue it was so heavy) then i sculpted the flame detail (badly) on top of that.
@wallacer: I never really thought about reverse highlighting… Since it had a black basecoat the yellow would of looked terrible unless i gave it a massive layer. Or a white basecoat i guess.
