Chest of Colors forum

Hello,

Thought I'd sign up and say hello. I enjoy painting all sorts of minis and am trying to improve with each one. I've seen some of the work that comes off this place and I'm impressed, so I figured it would be a great place to get some critique. Some of you may know me already from around the way but most of you probably don't.

Here's the last mini I completed:
Horace "Disco Action" Jackson

that is a really neat mini Pete! welcome to the board.

Hey Pete, nice to see you on here. I would say first of all i prefer darker shadows, especially around his trousers. I think it would stand out more if darker shading was used. Nice and neat and the skin tones are nice and i rather like the shirt too but some areas could be a little tidier there like the back shot, his elbow and shoulder where the light is being picked up doesn't look very smooth, perhaps a couple of glazes to smooth out the rough edges. Still nice work and good to see you around on here too.

Welcome to the forum!
I like that mini, you did really well with the base.

neatpete, you again? I'm afraid to open my fridge now, you might be there as well...

welcome, have fun here!

hi and welcome

I don't know if you want some suggestions here or you're going to open a thread in a different section (wip/painting/showcase). this is a good paintjob which could be easily improved. Arctica said the most of it, but I think some things could be added

Thanks for the welcome folks.

The mini was sort of a fun/experimental piece for a buddy. I mixed in metallic medium to get a silky shimmer to it. Enjoyed painting it.

@nameless: if there is beer in that fridge, I may actually be in there.

sounds like a good warning

lol now nameless will be standing back each time he opens the fridge

I don't drink much beer recently, but I think there's one hidden somewhere just in case... shall I warn my family to stay away from the fridge?

neatpete - post your own thread in the showcase section, that's the best place around to get some comments
