Flagoon's finished works

Post by flagoon »

Hi, so here it is. My first (well second) finished mini. I usually don't finish my miniatures, because I don't like to do bases. I'm crappy with that, because I made them so few, and I made them so few, because I'm crappy like this. Anyway here's the mini. As always I know I can/should do better. Please comment. I like it rough :)

He looks like Magneto and Ironman's love child :lol:

I think yout armour could use a bit of blacklining especially the knee plates and I spotted a mould line on the hand holding the axe but other than that I'd ver very happy if my painting turned out like this :D
Getting back into the thick (or rather thin as in thinning my paints) of it, not picked up a brush in some time so this may hurt a bit until I get used to the feel of them again :doh:

pretty good smoothness, pretty good contrast... very nice for a 2nd finished mini :)
colour scheme is not working for me, some final highlights would be welcome, darklining and highlights on edges of different elements too, all elements hanging on his belt are painted with the same colour (are they all made of the same material?), base is definitely below the standard set by your paintjob.

keep up the good work!

I think you did really well withthis one, especially with the red metal glove. I agree wit Srit's and Phil's comments, blacklining could do here really good.

Thanks for good words, guys. All advices will be remembered and put in try in next miniatures.

I just hope more of my minis will receive "finished" status in the future. If only bases won't be needed for that :)

guess which is my favorite part?
if you said: the glove, you were right :clap:
other elements would benefit from similar contrasts...

good job, much much better than any of your previous minis that I can recall. the weakest part is the base, which seems big but unimaginative...

Yep that glove is sweet. For me I think it's too many colours in the scheme. I love the red and I think the red and the green (minus the purple) would've given you an even stronger mini. I also don't personally like the deep brown for shading the flesh but that's just a personal thing. Nice stuff, keep putting those bases together!

I agree with Scott, there is a bit too many colours, but still really nice work. The glove and boots are definitely eyecathing.

cheers
