Hi all,

Here's my first WIP Post


The ever popular Ejhin De Vanth - being painted up for the Dragonpainting quarterly challenge.

Base:


Mini


She's a fantastic model and deceptively tricky to paint! LOTS of very fine details and odd curves - those horns are a right pain!

i know that mini
this is new 1 or old 1 ??
i got feeling that you made basse separatltfor mini end havent actualy check if they fit together well - in color maner
at the curent state you will get dominating orange - yellow from mini end erthy / brown from base so ther will be no key element on whole mini
imnot gona write about theory

Jarhead alrdy do that
- check this article end closing world + examples od painted minis - Key element is in contrast with rest - cold /warm (you got only warm atm )

It's an Old metal one. I got it from Splat on DP as part of the challenge
The second pic is taken a bit later than the base. I'll try and get one of the base and the mini together. She's actually quite earthy in colour.

hym eny way i would try to separate mini from base by scanging temperatute of it or by cration of focal point in difrent temperature

Nice colours on Ejhin. The horns look good! I would try to work in some different shades into the robe. Some blue in the deepest shades for contrast maybe. As the base colour has a yellowish hue to it.

I like the base so far btw.

And I suggest to make your pics a bit bigger

Here's another WIP. This time it's a 54mm Pegaso piece. A British Hussar from 1815.
This guy is being painted up for my Brother's 50th Birthday (I did a French Lancer for my oldest brother a couple of years back).
The backstory is that my brothers and I always played Napoleonic battles with Airfix models. Mark, the oldest was always French, Andrew (middle) was British and I always ended up with the Prussians
Anyway - Mark got a French Lancer for his 50th so Andrew is getting this fella.



here's his base. He is leaning on the railing.

so it is 1/16 i assume ??
good part of this scale is - things are biger
bad part - skin reqire a lot more atencion as scale provides posibility to put more colors in mid tones wich actualy make details intresting .. end skin is actualy quite colorfull

end about red color - in this particular unifor it whas little purple - somthing like Scrab red but brighter

I'm not sure about the 1/6 scale. He's 57mm to the eye - that's a GW 40mm base he's attached to.
I have had other comments on the skin and I don't think my camera has caught some of the lighter shades. I've used some Oxford Blue and Deep Sea Green in there. I will try and enhance it further though.
That's interesting about the red. I will try and bear that in mind. I was going to highlight up to Blood Red and shade it back a touch with Leviathan Purple wash. Do you think that would work?

you're going to get rid of that sheen on his clothes, aren't you?
or is he wearing a rubber suit?

Blood Red and shade it back a touch with Leviathan Purple wash. Do you think that would work?

well it should but i would wash with mix of Lev purple + red to get corect color instade of purple / pink

is he wearing a rubber suit?

it is Spandax !!!
