Hia

you are right up there with the absoulutely best in my book.

i wish i had your imagination and stunning skills

Every time I look at my topic, Mahon has last comment - I thought that meant: still no comments
I am sorry, I didn't think, that you added here so many interesting comments!

Of course I have to thank you all, I can't be angry.
I missed such honesty and such honest posts. Lately I felt like a holy cow ... even here.

Now I see what I have to work on. Probably I will paint more minis for this army, and for my satisfaction I would like to do it better.
Colors of this armour are very difficult for me, especialy if they are supposte to end up in dirty and ugly style.

White needs more work for achieving the same effect than in case of other colors that I painted before. When I took this army to paint I didn't guess that it would take my time more then usually.
This army is truly a challenge for me, and I am thankful for your helpfull opinions.

I think that on the dreadnought (next mini from this army) I went in the right way with white color, but I will be happy if you will check it.

As I wrote, the same subject of work:

Is it better?

EDIT: added more photos

MUCH better. Congratulations... again
Can you post more pics taken from different angles?

I added more views

It's better

There is more harmony than on the prince. I don't understand the blue head but I think that's just a demand of the client?

The dirt on most areas is better. It looks controlled and not slapped on
I do have to say that on some areas there is too much going on again. Like on the gun-arm. There's weathering, boils, an icon, boils and damage + techno stuff. Personally, I wouldn't have added a lot of weathering on that arm, as there was a lot of detail allready. Sometime less is more...
Compare it to the other shoulder/arm and I think you'll know what I mean.

The eyes on the front are cool, but I would add a layer of gloss over them, to set them apart and make them really stand out.

I liked the base of the price better. But I understand that you used the precasted base for the dread. And you kept it nice in theme.

All in all a very nice fig. It appeals to me much more than the prince

Damn! Very nice. I can remember a time when your painting skills weren't where they are now but over the years you keep improving and improving! Where will it end?!

Where will it end?

Recently I started a DA squad of 5 models. They came to me converted ... sometimes I bless it, but sometimes I curse it too.

This is the whole band:

I am proud of myself because lately I started to like painting green. Now I feel comfortable, because I don't have to check which colour will be better for shading ... the next challenge will be yellow

On my desk there is a second work (when I am fed up with green ) I have to paint a dreadnought based on this paintwork:

This will be a strong inspiration.
