Re: Arctica's WiPs
Not sure about the banners but the blade is awesome

Re: Arctica's WiPs
The blade and gems look very nice, good smoothnes on the ivory/white armour!
I agree with demi about the banners, two diffrent colours don`t look nice.
And oh I cant see progress in taking photos

Re: Arctica's WiPs
in this case I won't nitpick too much, it's a cool modelarctica wrote:Admittedly some areas aren't quite as finished as i'd like but I got it to a stage where I can move onto the next model or else i'll never get done.
maybe it's leaning forward too much, thus creating 'falling-down' effect. and glaive seems to be seriously bent between handle and blade.
good to see you live and kicking... I mean painting

Re: Arctica's WiPs
Thanks guys, honestly speaking this one had been crushed, dropped and mangled through the whole apartment moving process and it's been sitting on my desk for ages so I really just wanted to get it done and painted so i could move on with the whole painting process. I know it's not my best one and lots of flaws with it but I'm just happy it's done because i really needed to just get it out of the way. ^^ still i think the best part of the model is the blade as painting goes and it was the most fun part.
Re: Arctica's WiPs
Well onto the next model since i'm motivated again. This time around a rackham model, only done the base but will start on the model this week.

I'm thinking either, a typical grey/blue armour with red cloak, or a sparkly blue armour or perhaps a grey armour with lots of rust effects. Will have a think more about it.

Re: Arctica's WiPs
The base looks good, but that tuft of grass is too long IMO. You could also work in some green between some of the stones to give it a tad more variation.
I would love to see this one in a sparkly blue armour and maybe an orange/red cloak. Or a white cloak or a black one... or a ...

Re: Arctica's WiPs
the base looks real good, i just dont like the long grass, maybe if they were of diffent heights
Re: Arctica's WiPs
Well bit more of a minor update, did the base coat and some of the shading/highlights on the cloak, need to keep pushing the contrast and keep it tidier, but it's slowly getting there.

I did trim the long grass some more and i need to add some more grass to the base, but red is such a difficult colour to photograph. Anyway i'll get better pictures when i'm not feeling so lazy ^^.
