there's no problem with overpainting model covered with matt varnish

Nice piece Demi. I like it a lot and I am not that partial to dwarves. Everyone else has mentioned any thing that I see, so just bask in my comps to you.

I think silver elements lost some metallic "feel" because of the varnish
hope to finish the piece shortly so new pic will be presented - this time maybe with some background

Its cool I get it all the pieces I do are for gaming. If you don't mind me asking what varnish are you using? I noticed that the testors dull coat will take the shine off a mirror (and metals) where krylon and some others don't.

well now I use vallejo varnishes which were included in vallejo paint set (gloss, matt and satin) but also use maimeri spray - I really like this spray

I love it mate!

I got this same model in a few months ago, of course it will be turned into a Chaos Dwarf palanquin!

another model from me
this time it's nearly done spawn of demnogonis - it's only nearly done because I still miss some components to finish whole piece:
the photo needs background, model needs to be glued to the base (I painted it as one of my zombie-squad leaders so atm I can take it from this base and put into 25mm gaming base anytime blessed legionaires have to led into battle), and I thing some more purplish shadows here and there wouldn't hurt
I also have spend more time taking new photos - these ones seem to be a bit blurry...

You`re getting better so quickly I like this one.

Very cool, Demi. The only thing I can add is that the blister/ pox mark on his foot is pulling a lot of attention away from things that are better done like his face. I think its cause its got a strong red to it. Maybe use the same thing around his stitches?

I like the colors here. The idea with the shell is also something new.
Nice piece of work.
