**EDIT - Having talked to a seasoned photographer, I found out how to take "good" shots of my models, so all old images have been removed.

Hi Dakka Dakka! This will be my first post... and I say with dread, my first *ever* Warhammer model (with the exclusion of a few unfortunate test Skaven) or modeling / painting / photography experience of any kind. With that in mind, C&C is appreciated!!

Chaos Space Marines "Draconis Acerbus" - custom chapter Hellbrute - Cannon Rebel XTI

Thanks all!

/exalt. Awesome work. I particularly love the trim color, boney/organic pieces, and basework =)

Nothing on this model to complain about - an excellent model, especially because you mentioned it is your first! I look forward to more of your pics!

Very well done for your first serious attempt, I don't see any mess or globby painting.

While I like how vivid you've got the green in some areas It would go really well with some OSL. This may be a somewhat advanced but I recommend checking it out.
Maybe you've got more lab rats (skaven) to practice OSL on if you so wish

Keep it up dude!
Peace

I love the green glowing power source. Looks like it is run on the stuff of Chaos.

Thanks for the feedback everyone! Yes, I have looked up OSL a few times, and been SO tempted to try it out. I am pulling out some test rats as we speak to give it a shot. I will be sure to upload new pics if I get brave enough to do it.

Alright, new *full focus* pictures are up so you wont have to squint your eyes anymore. Old pictures have been removed. Thanks!

Love the green trim.

Looking good! My first post was with a Helbrute too! I'm not the most seasoned painter, but as a 'cheat' I love using a wash on detailed spots like the face to bring out the detail. Give it a shot, I think you'll like the end result. I've got my Helbrute pics posted if you want to see what I mean. Keep up the good work. Cheers mate!

Haha yeah, the face has a couple of washes, but the picture doesn't show them well, I think using flash was my mistake and brought out the flesh tone around the face and melta way too much - thanks for the great feedback all!
