Epic Thoughts Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My finished minature for the Librarium Painting Challenge. Personal Thoughts; Overall, I'm very happy with the level of work I managed to complete. I've been collecting and painting for about three years now, and I finally feel like I'm producing at a solid quality. I'm very fond of the subtle highlights I've done with the regal blue/enchanted blue combination, and also very happy with the gold trim. On the contrast, the method I used for the metallic parts is rather interesting. Like with the base piece, the twinlinked bolter, and the power axe, the metallic parts where treated with a basecoat of tin bitz, then dried brush with boltgun metal. Then I applied a watered down black ink, and finally highlighted with mithril silver. Things I could have improved on was the basic pose; the minature is clumsy looking and feels too crowded. Next time I'll be more careful about who I assemble the model, and take more time in planning it out. Also, my lightning bolts need work, and I'll be researching other methods to see if I can improve on what I have here. Thank you all for your kind words, your critiques, and your opinions. They were all appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Thoughts Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 I actually went back and looked when I read your guys' responses. That sure as heck does look like a cobweb. But, I'm pretty sure it's a strand of the modeling glue I use. Sorry about that. *Carefully removes said picture*. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gordofski Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Hey don't take it to heart, the model looks great. I myself am guilty of having a giant cat hair sticking out from a model that was REALLY obvious when I took a picture of it against a white background. That strand on yours really only stood out due to the black background. Good work though, I like the subtle highlights the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
