hey Dakka...
i guess it's about time to start a WIP log here...
it's only taken 8 years to get over my shyness of posting work in progress, but since i started an Artist page over Facebook where i post a daily update, i figure i might as well be sharing them on the forums, too...
if you want to check out what i have been up to for the last two months on the Facebook page, it's here:
https://www.facebook.com/jahminis
most of the work here will be commissions, a little bit of studio work, and the occasional piece painted for sale on eBay...
if you want to see what i have for sale there, here is my page:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/jah-joshua/m.html?item=251546718505&hash=item3a915a5129&pt=Games_US&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562
right now i am working on a pair of commissions for a guy in France...
it is a Blood Angels Sanguinary Priest, and another plastic version of Commander Dante, both built from the Sanguinary Guard box...
i'm starting with the body of the Sang. Priest:
this time i'm trying a little experiment with grey primer instead of black...
the basecoat for my red is P3 Sanguine Base...
next i mixed up a heavy wash of equal parts Sanguine Base, P3 Coal Black, and P3 Armor Wash...
in this photo you can see where i came back and painted half of the body again with the base color...
after i reapplied the Sanguine Base to the whole body, i started building up my red...
this is a mix of the SB with P3 Khador Red Base at a 2-1 ratio...
the next stages are layers of the same SB plus KRB in ratios of 1-1, and 1-2...
carrying on with more layers, there is a mix of SB plus KRB at a 1-4 ratio, and then a layer of pure Khador Red Base (this mostly shows on the legs here)...
i'm also playing around with a Vindicare Assassin that will be for sale when he's finished...
that's all for today...
i have finished the pure red on the Sang. Priest's body, but i haven't taken the photos yet...
that's tonight's mission ...
thanks for looking...
i hope you like the WIP's...
cheers

i use P3 paint from Privateer Press...
in my opinion, they are the best colors on the market, and the liquid pigment means they cover really well...

hey Dakka...
another update on the Sanguinary Priest...
i got the pure P3 Khador Red Base done...
now the large areas of shadow really stand out, but i still need to come back in and paint some small shadows in strategic locations...
after that, i can get started on the fine highlights ...
next up i'll show a bit of the work on the wings...
thanks for looking...
i hope you like him, so far...

hey Dakka...
time for a few shots of the wings for the Sanguinary Priest...
this is over grey primer again...
base coat of P3 Sanguine Base for the armored bit, and P3 Greatcoat Grey for the feathers...
i built up the armor using the same stages of red as the body...
i started layering up the white wings with a 1-1 mix of Greatcoat Grey and P3 Underbelly Blue...
here is a sneak peek at the next stage, building up the feathers with a pure coat of Underbelly Blue...
thanks for looking...
i hope you like it, so far...

Joshua, that's some beautiful layering! Thanks for doing this step-by-step, it's being very interesting how good the red is turning out thanks to several layers.

hey Dakka...
here's what i have, so far, and a bit of recap...
red:
grey primer...
pure P3 Sanguine Base basecoat...
a heavy wash of a 1-1-1 mix of P3 Armor Wash, P3 Coal Black, and Sanguine Base...
reapply the Sanguine Base, leaving the deepest shadows from the wash...
a layer of Sanguine Base and P3 Khador Red Base at a 2-1 ratio...
a 1-1 layer of SB and KRB...
a 1-2 layer of the same, and then a 1-4 layer of the same...
a layer of pure KRB...
feathers:
grey primer
P3 Greatcoat Grey for the basecoat...
a layer of Greatcoat Grey and P3 Underbelly Blue at 1-1...
a layer of pure UB...
there is a lot more to do on these parts, but i'm going to start on the white helm, and the red sword arm, first...
thanks for looking...
i hope the step-by-step is helpful...
cheers

thanks, guys...
i'm glad you are enjoying the process...
here is the start of a couple of the other pieces of the Sanguinary Priest...
the power sword arm has the basecoats down...
the blade has a coat of P3 Thamar Black...
the armor and wax seals have a basecoat of P3 Sanguine base...
the wings are P3 Greatcoat Grey, while the purity seals, and anything that will be gold, have a basecoat of P3 Battlefield Brown...
the helmet is also basecoated with Greatcoat Grey...
i can't believe how much work has gone into making it look exactly the same as it did on the sprue...
same color, basically, just sans moldlines, and ready to take some paint, as I build up to white...
i will be using the same recipe as the wings, so that it matches the slight blue tinge on the feathers...
thanks for looking, and taking the time to comment ...
cheers

hey Dakka...
here is the next stage of the helmet...
this is the same as the second layer on the wings, an equal mix of P3 Greatcoat Grey and P3 Underbelly Blue...
it still resembles bare plastic more than anything, but you can start to see the shadows a bit...
i've also started in on the decorations and gear on the body...
first everything was picked out with a coat of P3 Thamar Black...
the soft armor bits around the joints get a first highlight of Greatcoat Grey...
the glass vials and the tubes get a coat of P3 Gnarls Green, as do some of the lights, and the screen on the little data slate...
the metal parts of the vials get a coat of P3 Pig Iron...
the keys of the data slate get a base of Greatcoat Grey, while any little lights that will be red, as well as the blood drops, get a coat of P3 Sanguine Base...
the pouch gets a first highlight of P3 Coal Black...
finally, the parts that will be gold get a base of P3 Battlefield Brown...
thanks for looking...
i hope you are enjoying yourselves ...

Automatically Appended Next Post: hey Dakka...
i've built up the reds on the sword arm...
now it's on the the rest of the details of the arm...
i also blacked out the bits of the helm that won't be white...
i'm thinking green lenses, black wings, and of course, a red helix...
thanks for looking...

hey Dakka...
i got the next layer of the helmet done...
instead of jumping straight to P3 Underbelly Blue, like i was thinking, i went for one more mix to help with the transition on such big curves of the helmet...
this is a mix of P3 Greatcoat Grey and Underbelly Blue, in a 1-4 ratio...
this will help the pure Underbelly Blue of the next step, and the white mixes of the stages after, to be a little less harsh...
i also got the next stages of the sword arm's parts painted...
anything that will be gold got a 1-1 mix of P3 Battlefield Brown and P3 Rhulic Gold...
the sword handle and wax seals got a layer of pure P3 Sanguine Highlight...
the paper of the purity seals got a layer of P3 Gun Corps Brown, and the wings got the same mix as the ones for the backpack, 1-1 Greatcoat Grey and Underbelly Blue...
thanks for looking...

hey Dakka...
here is the next layer on the helmet...
this time it is pure P3 Underbelly blue...
the shadows are finally starting to show...
the next stages of the sword arm are about the halfway point...
the wings are pure Underbelly Blue...
the gold is pure P3 Rhulic Gold...
the parchment is pure P3 Menoth White Base...
the wax seals, and sword handle, got a wash of pure P3 Flesh Wash (not thinned) for shadows, and then were touched up again with pure P3 Sanguine Highlight...
thanks for looking...
i hope you are all still with me ...

hey Dakka...
i'm nearly done with the helmet...
this is the 5th layer of color on the white, a 1-4 mix of P3 Underbelly Blue and P3 Morrow White...
now the shadows really pop...
just one more layer to go, and then paint up the details...
the sword arm is coming along...
the wings got the same mix as the helmet...
the wax seals, and the sword handle, got a layer of P3 Sanguine Highlight and P3 Menoth White Highlight at 2-1...
the parchments got a wash of GW Orgyn Flesh Wash (from the 2007 set), and the gold got a layer of 1-1 P3 Rhulic Gold and Vallejo Air Gold (an awesome paint, which is my favorite gold to do finish work with)...
thanks for looking...

still one more layer to go, the pure white, then the details...
to be honest, i finished the helmet two nights ago, but haven't uploaded the pics yet...
it looks really nice against the red armor ...
it's got me excited to highlight the armor, so i can see how the finished product will look...

hey Dakka...
i finished the helmet!!!
the first piece of the mini to get the finishing touches...
the final highlight on the white is pure P3 Morrow White...
then I did the details...
the eye lenses got a basecoat of P3 Gnarls Green, a small streak of P3 Iosan Green was the first layer at the front of the lens, followed by a smaller streak of P3 Necrotite Green, and finally a dot of P3 Heartfire (a yellow-orange color)...
the rear of the lens got a small area of P3 Thamar Black, which was given a little dot of Morrow White...
the Helix, and the light's lens, were painted in my standard red progression...
a base of P3 Sanguine Base, a layer of P3 Skorne Red, layer of P3 Khador Red Base, and a highlight of Heartfire... the lens was then given a large dot of Thamar Black, and a smaller dot of Morrow White...
the wings, and power cable behind the light, got a base of Thamar Black, a layer of P3 Greatcoat Grey, followed by a sharper layer of P3 Ironhull Grey, and were finished with a fine touch of P3 Trollblood Highlight...
i've thrown in a little sneak peek at how the white helmet goes with the red armor...
works nicely, i think...
the sword arm is coming along...
i put a basecoat on the power sword blade, using P3 Exile Blue...
the golds got a heavy wash of my shade mix, 1-1 P3 Flesh wash and Sanguine Base...
the parchments were cleaned up, after yesterday's wash, with P3 Menoth White Base again...
the wings got their finishing touch with pure Morrow White, and the wax seals and sword handle were finished with a final highlight of P3 Sanguine Highlight and Morrow White, at a 2-1 ratio...
for some reason, the sword handle is really washed out in the first pic, but looks good in the second one...
thanks for looking...
cheers
