Solmars finished Miniatures

[Solmar]

Hmm okay, good advice. So should i use the whole pallette, from pure white to pure black?
I think i have to try to overdo the contrast on a practice piece (an arm or so).
Then i could figure it out.

Will get on this tomorrow. painting a NMM steel part with (i hope) extreme contrast.

Big thx for your help.

wait, was it painted by JerzyK in his NMNM* style

* NMNM = non metallic not metal

and to help you a bit, here are a few more examples of PAINTED metal. if they did it on flat canvas, you can do it on a 3d miniature:

This mark does not appear on real paintings

[mahon]

so you realized all the paintings you have are not real?

[Nameless]

no, I realized people are that stupid that such warnings are necessary

you never know how creative people from the internet can be.
don't you know about the auctions that you bid on a photo of a phone instead of a real phone? never underestimate the creativity of others!

Hi all.

I painted a freehand banner, which i have begun at a painting workshop with Derwish 3 Weeks ago. There Derwish gave us some tips on Freehand painting. And this ist my result, and in the same time the first Freehand i ever painted!

For the first try it looks good, while next time i have to watch better on proportions.
Note: As this is a practice piece, it belongs to no model!

Do you like it?

The idea and concept I really like, but since I saw the original I can see difference But this is a good way to learn, while trying to copy great painters. I do it often looking at CMON
