Phantom Titan. Eldar combat strategic unit heavy arguments

Brush painting and acrylics. Spent three weeks time.Lots of pictures here-https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006814748111

Painting's impressive, not a fan of the posing though

SIMPLY AMAZING!! How on earth did you manage that!

That paint job is simply outstanding
But i think the pose is unsutable for the model tho

It doesn't really fit with the aesthetic of Eldar, in my opinion. It's got the vibrancy but none of the order and fine, intricate details. The colors are just all over the place and far too random. Then again, it's painted beautifully and you've done an excellent job painting it in such a style. I just don't like the style.

I'll also echo that the pose looks off. I get what you were going for, but it just doesn't work quite right. The right arm specifically looks awkward.

Thank you)
Pose - exhibiting at your request. Titan is not glued.
Random colors is not here. I see such Eldar-especially for titanium has a name-Phantom. What I tried to convey the paint). I never configured the human approach to ALIEN SPACE RACE.

Juw WOW! Amazing designs. Close up shots please!

I'm still amazed at your technical prowess, Demidov. You manage to achieve by hand what few would even attempt without significant airbrush experience and a wide array of masks, let alone finish this cleanly. It's about as far removed from my style as possible - very busy (I might even say "cluttered"), with all the vibrant colors and intricate patterns - but that doesn't stop me from being impressed.

Keep on posting your stuff! Love it or not, it's always worth a look.

The skill and overall paint job is excellent. Though to be honest, it's definitely not my cup of tea

Amazing painting, the scale effect is awesome.

I just don't really like the colour scheme though, no matter how well it is executed.

Excellent painting, not a perfect pose job.

This is what I see when I look at it. I think your attempt to convey a sense of true "alienness" by going beyond the generally accepted aesthetic conventions is resoundingly successful! This is art in the true sense, beyond mere craft (of which there is plenty in this piece, don't get me wrong!)

I think the painting is amazingly well done. The multiple colors and scale pattern makes me imagine the titan's color is fluctuating, which I think is the intended effect. Incredible

Thank you for your feedback)
You are right - Eldar name of another rasa.Tam things differently and does not seem to nshe perception of the world. I wanted to show it. Plus some spirit warp, otherworldly energy. Protective shields, etc.
This Titan rides Canada)

That's insane. Simply stunning.

Holy crap. That is incredible. I mean.... I was honestly stunned when I saw the level of detail. Well done!!!!

I'd agree with this, your eyes are drawn all over the place, there's no central spot and it's just confusing..
Beautifully done, but badly picked.

So it should be - the protective field, flicker-armor your opinion just broken into pieces you do not see the horror of this danger - you're already dead, only live an illusion) Because your death with you, and this is Tina-Phantom)

I think its an unbelievable paintjob, and in some way like that it has no focal point. It seems maybe not Eldar like to me, but extremely alien, as if it was coloured in a way to have an effect on the mind, to add to the awe and shock value it brings. Not sure if that makes sense but sticking with it. Overall extremely well done IMO.

The paint job borders on excess without crossing the line. Perfect! Didn't even notice the pose, was too transfixed by the colour!

That's one of the most interesting paintjob I've ever seen. And to me, at least, probably the most thoroughly Eldar paintjob I've ever seen. Fantastic

Thanks all)

We are stardust

Absolutely unreal. Love it.

Good God, that's amazing! Are you telling me you painted on that hex pattern by hand? The different patterns look amazing, and I'm impressed by how many different ones you've used.

You did this all by hand? With no airbrush? That's incredibly impressive! I must say, while it's not the sort of colour scheme that I would use on my models (assuming I had the talent to do so), it truly is stunning work.

If I may ask, for how long have you been painting?

Thank you, friends)
This model - collected and processed, made a base painting - about three weeks
Total - I painted the fifth year.

You did that by hand? Confirm that for me. Ho in the WORLD did you do the hex pattern than concise by hand?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

And either way, airbrush or not, that's a fantastic paint job

Unreal... I love it and absolutely agree with your point about the Eldar shields dismaying and confusing opponents; in the background there are many descriptions of Eldar vehicles appearing in such a way as to render the true nature of the vehicle incomprehensible and this paint scheme seems to be about as close as you can get to portraying that effect. Excellent stuff!

Thank you) Yes, I am painted hands and brush)
