Re: Little Jimbo's 2012
When I look at this necromancer and Vlad, I see big progress. Especially on the cloak, skulls and you even tried to make OSL! You still need to work on the skin, try to use more layers to paint the face.

Re: Little Jimbo's 2012
yes, much better than your previous paintjob.
you could try to work on smoothness of your transitions, these look quite rough in places.

Re: Little Jimbo's 2012
Thanks both of you, it is good to know that I am not the only one that feels i am making progress.
And yes this skin is not the best part of this mini but it was also the first thing painted and with the "old" Technic, and the base color ended up being the shadow color.
I also so need to be more brave on the black highlight it is to discrete.

Daniel

Re: Little Jimbo's 2012
Compared to the first mini you posted in this thread you can clearly see some progress.
I think the OSL turned out great. I guess he would benefit from some brighter highlights on his staff and I'm missing some highlights on his black coat. The skin has already been adressed - I don't know if that's what you want but if you paint a similiar skin on another mini you could try painting the skin with only grey tones (or just mixing in a tinytinytiny bit of violett) and then adding that violett undead touch mainly by glazing over midtones and shadows. Not sure how this will turn out but I think with some experimenting it could have a nice effect.

Re: Little Jimbo's 2012
It was kind of a test to see how a pure purple base color works as shadow for a grayish skin tone. But next time ill try something in the line of what you are saying. as i agree that the Shadow is a bit to overpowering, but compared to val,the mini that I painted before this mini, I needed to experiment with greater contrasts when painting skin in gray colors.p1per wrote:Compared to the first mini you posted in this thread you can clearly see some progress.

Re: Little Jimbo's Works
A quick paint job after a long time without serious painting. It is nice to be painting once more.
