That is right lads, we are back! This round I thought why not start off fending off another silly heretical apocalypse with our finest, and mightiest? That is right! this is the Hero round. The goal of this is to make a hero model, who... well, has to be a hero of your army for some reason. This is a great way to get those head quarters done, and yeah! Why not?

oh and a Wip and a Finished shot is all we want an need

Rules and Doo Dads
Model must be a 1 figure entry - standing over dying corpses and the such is fine
Model must be painted - even if you are not the best gold deamon status painter - this category is only a mild scale tipper
Painting as follows -will be judge be effort which includes, but is not limited too:

Spoiler:

highlighting
washing
OSL
gem effects
power weapon effects
weathering
and lastly freehanding

Basing is also a requirement and a hero really cant be complete, unless he is based anyways so i don't see the problem at all here.
Main judging will be done based on the rule of cool

Any questions? Please post, quick responses by Papa and I are to follow, if you want to ask a more personal question PM me and or Papa nid.


Prizes? oh...those silly things..
Yeah guys there is gonna be prizes, but honestly i am only doing this to make you compete among each other for greatest dakka hero.. nothing big.
Just one of the most fantastic titles ever awarded over any of our competitors. Did i mention their will be a trophy?
There is going to be a trophy!
Now get to it!

FIRST!

ok.... i gotta join this... i know i joined some comps recently... unable to finish them... but i sure want to see the end of this one finished with a hero of mine...!

must it have to be a hero that would be able to be played for a list? or may we go for a complete model by the rule of cool?


oh and...

IT NEVER ENDS MUHAHAHAHA i dont i was feeling like the end of febuary.

oh and the rule of cool is the primary judging, doesn't have to be playable, that is just a bonus.

I'll join in as well. Good excuse to do up a proper sized Orkuisitor for the Orkuisition, ooh and it could be used to update my sig picture now that the orks are rising. And Well, Trophy! LOL.

it could be a dramatic tale... Vik von Domm, and his shelf of shame.. hell i got a dang basements worth.

BUT...you sell your stuff from time to time... me...i am the typical hoarder...^^ i am currently ammasing stuff i probably never get done^^

by the way... any suggestions as to what i should be making? my current thought would either be a fitting shrike attaption for IG for my own steampunk army...or...make the long planned captain america out of an guardsman...or maybe something totally different???

idk, what do you feel fits the hero roll? for me i am going to find some big iconic ork to use, but for you, steam punk hero, yeah sounds good to me to the striken attempt.

ok...then i go for the steampunk hero... which branch remains to be seen... i need to take a deep dive into the bitzbox tomorrow then best part of the competition by far^^

Ah, its good to be back... you know, when I'm not over at The Ogre Stronghold... no, I've not gone traitor, just as I am doing my ogres again that place is useful

anywho, even though I'm judging, count me in for a Savage Orc Warboss ^_^

thing is, I've not been into 40k for about 3 months now, and I doubt I'll properly get into it again for another year- at the moment, I'm all about lord of the rings, which has two classifications- basic troops and heroes, and I have all the heroes I need.
So yeah, it depends if I think of anything specific (and/or get round to doing it ) to do for it.

Looks like a contest for me this one... Hero, survivor... all the same...

Count me in!
I'll give Vik a good run for his money.

Alright I am updating off my mobile but I will add your names to the contest or all who said will enter! If you enter please spread the word. I want all the heros dakka has to offer, don't worry about edition or company just make sure it is the hw scale.

never really appealed to me- the style's a bit too... I dunno, unrealistic? I know what I mean
plus, I never liked armies which you control in blocks- if there's a 1-man wide doorway that needs defending, I don't want 20 men sitting around there when two guys could be doing the same job.

Warhammer doesnt exactly work that way you know

 AnUnearthlyChilde wrote:

yeah, but it's the whole look of it- lord of the rings and 40k look more realistic because they're not travelling in blocks, but as individuals. It also offers more of an opportunity for converting, because in fantasy, you have to consider that your model's going to need to fit in base to base contact with four different people around it ^^

and I went too far didnt I?

let me think about it...




probably.... nawwwww

also...i always went by the rule...: you can always say stop after the third beat

This is =][_= territory- no such thing as too far!

So, does this need to be a brand new, never seen before hero for this competition, or will an already WIP be okay? (Or even a previously completed hero?)

Ack no no no lols... sorry don't agree. WHFB harks back to ancient times when infantry fought as blocks, like the Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Celts, Vikings, Normans etc etc etc

there is strength in numbers and fighting as a cohesive block of infantry. I think you see it with modern eyes, where modern warfare dictates individualism as a unit.

but anywho... FIND SOMETHING TO PAINT... ITS AN ORDER

No, elements of their forces did... considering the Viking Capitol of Britain is just down the road from me, I think I know

whats the point of the Viking army skirmishing against block troops? it would barely make a dint. Their tactics were hit and run with the units of skirmishers to distract against the block hammer of their armies strike.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
also, every military force in the ancient world used skirmish techniques in one form or another, but, primarily they used block walls of troops, the most common during Viking times was the shieldwall, the interlocking of shields to form a rigid defence... something you can't do when running about in skirmish formation

Tentatively, I'm in. I'll probably do one of the two heroes that I've got planned for my DW, or just might do my SAGA Welsh Warlord for the random factor.

Sign me up, I need some motivation and a kick in the rear to break out the brushes again.

But what to paint? Alpha Legion (40k) Sorcerer or (30k) Preator? Inquisitor Lord? AdMech Magos? Artscale Deathwatch? the possibilities are endless!

... and so will the desicion-makeing be aswell I fear.

Just choose heroic! I will add your names when I turn on my machine.


Dont forget if you join, to please spread the word, if you got a blog a simple post in there is enough. Please and thank you!

Alright, Sign me up! I will start working my magic!

I'm in.

Excellent! Please keep entering contestants! Spread the word, I woul love for this thread I hit front page

Sign me up Panda, i need some inspiration to complete my BT piece and would be good to have a change of pace from the t-hawk build...

but not for too long mister... i wanna see that baby get some paint on soon

I might actually get around to modeling somthing for this... I depends on how ADD hobbywise I am.

hurhurhur...

 Viktor von Domm wrote:

TBH, the BT dude I'm going to enter is mostly done, he just needs some minor work and painting, so shouldn't be too much of a distraction. Having said that I was looking at my IG trench diorama earlier and drawing some inspiration to doing more work on that... Soo many projects, soo little time

Soo many projects, soo little time

HA! that man is in the knowings! i am already brewing up sideprojects in the tenfold...


by the way... started with hero model already... thank good my bitzbox is as big as it is...

Right on your tail there Vik

Maybe I should find something that I can truly go nuts on mith a NMM-heavy paintjob? I used to be very good at that during my Rackham-period back in 06' so it might be an idea to see if those wings will still fly as good as they used to.

just 1 shot when you submit your final - kinda of a honor system about cheating. Thanks! spread the word please.

Also i am going to be gone most of tomorrow, so sorry if there is a delay in answering questions or posting you to the contestant list. Please come be a hero, and take part in this comp! Painting is only a small factor so do not let it discourage you!

if i get my stuff together...(cam rig...) then i will show my first WIP pics... i´ve got a good feeling about it^^

WIPs! One of these two, I think:

Do we post WiP and final pictures in this thread, or create a new thread?

naww... we post on this thread...and maybe for self advertising means on your own thread too...

graven... that magic effect... cool looking... is it from a heroclix mini? something as close as that...

i think you should go for the first one...the libby... but it depends on your painting... if it is that good... then you can rock with the chaplain too


oh... and for the record... i give you...

captain imperial... he is a role model of the victorian guard... he is straight as an arrow, and the model could count as a commissar for all that i care... or just for the pure pleasure it gave me to build it... lots of cutting and reglueing...





cheers, vik

So here's my WIP shots - check out my gallery for more...





Mini is based on this classic artwork:

COME ONE, COME ALL, TO THE FUNHOUSE OF PAINT!

Seriously, join in peeps, what do you have to lose, except your soul? mwah hahahahahahahahahahaha

Ok... this seems like a fun competition... of course my entry will depend on my other responsibilities but here is what I'm thinking, something like this:






-but in this case Lincoln has traversed the warp, possibly hooked up with draigo and kicking ass in the 41st millennium somehow.

i like your inspiration

at ruglud... oh my... i already feel mightily ashamed...

good work mister... and at what pace!

and meade....LOL...

I cannot wait to work on mine. I got primer today! I will get some WIP shots up tonight!

I need to buy mine lols...

Work has begun...

i love that gun! nice use of a mek head too. Well done.

I'd love to join in, it should give me the kick up the backside to actually get some painting done. I've got some bits sitting around for a chaos champion I was considering, so I guess I'll go with him.

grrr

I think I will play this game too. If you'd let me...
Now off to think about what to do...

Update: Banna and cloak (not visible here, still needs GS):

I suppose this is a WIP teaser of sorts. I'm still waiting for bits to arrive, so I can't actually show anything else(they don't stick together!) No paint has been put on yet, so whatever you see there is just residue paint that I haven't stripped properly. I'll strip them again before I begin painting.


Any guesses?

I cobbled to gether the basics of my entry(the kitbashing part). Now Just need to do the scratchbuilding of some parts and then the greenstuffing. Phases..its all about phases!

Green stuff is the next step... Can you spot all the parts?


Can I ax you a question?

Here's my starting WIP shot. Jugger is soaking, Lord ready to start building.

lovely work lads keep going

Here's the bits for my entry. There's a bit of greenstuff work to do and then I can put him together and start painting.



grrr

Modelling done, ready for paint - I'm feeling confident about finishing this on time...

Just wondering if the contest is still going on, minght be interested
Also is there a size limit? I have a conversion I'm planning with a dreadknight for chaos and I think it might work well for the contest

A hero is a Hero, be he man or... erm... abomination...
Join us Lazarus

Some tasty looking models showing up now - GAME ON...

In that case I'd better go find my exacto knife
and more red paint...

I'd like to join in, if its not too late!

Hero status achieved! Thank you very much!

Yeah, but it doesn't count if no one comes. The only reason I'm a DCM is because I want to literally support Dakka, I really like this place. Other than that there's no particular reason I'd recommend DCM to anyone. There is a DCM 'special area' but IMO it's a bit boring there. It's way more fun to hang out in the P&M section with the cool kids. P&M forever!

Anyway, here's where my project is at:



And he's fully magnetized for easier transport and nearly unlimited weapon swaps:



I'll be back.

Looks great! Keep up the good work all you are doing great.

@Skalk; I really like that model! However he doesn't seem very... heroic.

Mind if I join in? Im planning a power armoured Champion who can double as a counts as Kharn.

Join us!!
Almost sounds chaotic no?

I disagree, good sir. In fact he is the noblest and bravest of all the Heroes on this thread, for he is a Freedom Fighter standing against Imperial Tyranny! DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!

Anti-heroic is still heroic

may the tech gods favor you. mine didnt.

Here is my finished Entry!

Hiya people,

you guys still taking participants? If so, I'd like to enter this gentleman here:



My Chaos Lord, Lord Captain Lorimar, of the World Eaters' 4th assault company.

The model was built in late December and early January. Didn't see any paint yet, though.

Having him in the competition would be an excellent way of forcing myself to paint him in a timely fashion...

Hero contest update:





still workin on it...

at kraut... awesome model... í feel taken down a peg... darn...

at maus... wow...the mask looks super! no pun inteded!... i am a bit unsure of the "A" though... looks too sausage like atm...but the maks is compensating for that completly!

also...from my part...

there is a hero... at least one half of him...(i will not glue his boltpistol wielding arm for now... this will get glued on after paint has happened... otherwise the paintjob will be more a pain(t) job... too much covered areas then... so i will paint this one later on unassembled...or rather part assembled...

here are the pics...

added cogteeth to the rim of the shiled... do you think these are undue? i am not too sure about them...also i added a new piece of heraldry to the shiled... it is a cross between wings and a "v"... what do you think?

Hiya people,

you guys still taking participants? If so, I'd like to enter this gentleman here:



My Chaos Lord, Lord Captain Lorimar, of the World Eaters' 4th assault company.

The model was built in late December and early January. Didn't see any paint yet, though.

Having him in the competition would be an excellent way of forcing myself to paint him in a timely fashion...

Welcome to the fun mate!

This sounds awesome, I wanna submit my Ultramarines captain. He's in my gallery, but I'll throw the pics up on here. After my first round of painting somebody mentioned his lame hair, and on second look it reminded me of Chuck Norris, so I ran with it for the second go.

Welcome and well done!

Haha thanks fellas. I didn't mean it as a bad thing, more then when I saw it i decided to add the beard and go full norris.

welcome! the comp ends in February! spread the word.

This looks fun, count me in. For humble consideration:

My first ever try at sculpting. I think I've accidentally bulked him up far too much

Welcome guinness707! Spread the word, love work from every one

Ah, my plan was to turn him into a terminator lord on the precipice of ascension, 'cuz I need a lord for my CSM army too. I think he's too small to be a DP, but I suppose my friends would allow me to play as it as a counts-as! I'm still wondering how I can show that he's on the edge of ascension with the bits I currently have. Hmm..

Viktor von Domm wrote:^that! and be proud for that sculpt know no pear!!!

I am quite proud of it, even if there're some parts that're not very well done. I don't think you can see them in the picture, but I'll try to get rid of them anyway. Thanks!

Could I still enter? I have an old destroyer lord conversion I started but never got around to finishing, this would be the perfect chance to finish him up

I reckon contestants are welcome all the time, but they'll have to take note that the end date for this contest is the end of February!

 ghosty wrote:

I get that feeling as well, the list of participants list grows every day, with each and every WIP so far looking the bees knees... Making me think my effort is going to be pretty poor :(

Must stay positive... Must stay positive...

Gonna throw in my entry for the sake of it (everyones so far has been to good for me to win )



Captain with Relic blade and storm sheild

Build is finally complete and the base coat is on.



Speaking of 'outmatched' etc, I have no misgivings about even placing in this contest, but I'm feeling very motivated to finish this so I can at least stand proudly with the other contestants that completed their entry. That in itself will be my 'win'.

I just relised a fatal flaw in my plan! I have to sculpt a head...

with a near-toal of 0 sculpting experience...


Well, looks like I may have to go with the herald idea...

No pic, but still an update: When filing down my sausage A today it turned out the sausage had not attached to the torso as it was supposed to. It tore apart half the torso sculpt. So thats on the table to be redone.
We end in februari? Cool, there is time still...

Good to see the amount of contestants. Improves my chances on not finishing last

It's alright, I started mine with zero sculpting experience too!

Man so many people joining! dont forget painting is required and spread the word.. also hint on the trophy! its gunna be metal!

Ok, so here's a pre-WIP of my hero. I'm excited to join in the competition! Should get some pictures up next week! Building off of an Armature will be fun, and hopefully it'll end up being something a bit unique.



Don't worry, she'll be getting clothes!

So, if you're still taking entrants (and it seems you are) I'd like to give this a shot. Last time I entered a competition I had to bow out so hopefully this will help erase that shame.

Presenting Pustulus Maximus (kudos if you get the reference), champion of Nurgle:


He's the guy on the left...

Still very much a WIP. Lots of sculpting left to do then the painting (which is the daunting part for me...) He is blu-tacked together here.

If it is too late, or if this doesn't qualify for some reason, please let me know and I will remove the images from this post.

Either way, I look forward to seeing the completed entries!

~Eric

Wow very nice green stuffing over all. On a further note welcome! and Spread the word

Wow there's a lot of real cool stuff on here...
A suggestion @ know no pear: perhaps small horns? Or if you're good with greenstuff maybe some warped skin on the edges where his armor meets his face?

Mind if I join? I can put on WIP pictures on later.

By the way! For all contestants. When you upload your final which is due at the end of Febarury - Please include uploading your wip! As far as uploading wips now, it is a great teaser, but not required.

Decided to spray model instead of brush. After that dried I did some work on the arms / weapons and started a bit on the helm & backpack / trophy rack





More coming soon.

Is that a hasslefree armature - looks like the one they released for a sculpting comp before Xmas? Regardless, it'll be interesting to see where you go with that

Oh boy, that is awesome, can't wait to see it painted up

Love that red Skalk, and the blue of the hammer is a great contrast looking forward to the end result.
Here's where I'm up to:

Man all these heroes are shaping up! well done.

This seems like a good way to force me to finish one of my bigger models...

Its a bit of a tangent from the "Hero" theme, a "Hive Tyrant"







Looted of course

I have 2 looted fexes already, which I use as Deff Dreads in Ork games, and a friend of mine suggested that I start a Tyranid army, but have everything "looted" in a sense.

Then I got a Tyrant from another friend (rather broken, and with two left feet), and set to fixing it! Now it is setting up to be a centerpiece of both my Ork and Nid armies, as a "Boss" Dread and Tyrant, respectively.


Hopefully this can be considered suitably Heroic. If not, just lemme know and Ill change models!

looks heroic to me...and looted

I did just get two new crisis suits.

I may as well enter, although I doubt I'll place, this may very well give me some motivation to build and paint my model in a timely manner, or at least build it. Sure, go ahead and mark me down. I don't think I'll come close to winning, but building and painting the model is a victory in itself.

It's all about the motivation, amigo.

Bit of a WIP from me - mainly the base being worked on (which isn't probably being judged but what the hey...

Love the work on Pustulus.

I may see if I can paint something up for this...

Update on the hero:







Moar pics in my gallery... Still a work in progress...

The axe is beautiful. Great brushwork.

man you guys might make it hard for the judges! hahaa keep it up.

welcome and spread the word!

WIP , not much but all I have until either more parts arrive and/or the greenstuff dries



hopefully I'll be able to fit the pilot by tomorrow

I like the start! This guy is guns be big.

Space Pirates anyone?

Oh that is hi-larious! Love 'im.

I thank you sir!

What's the metal model you've used as a base fig? I love it as a look for ogrun.

its actually that old 2007-09 (i forget) gameday ork model, it came with a little grot, I think it would work great for an ogryn and im sure they are floating around, I got mine by trading zagstruk for it

wow... i am up against some tough competition here it seems...

well thank the lords my hero is now at least primed^^

i give you:


captain victory...








cheers, vik

Sweet Sweet Victory YEAAA! Love this guy, sheild looks great, definatly looking foward to seeing him all painted up!

*big grin*

naming his hero victory... too cheesy?...

First name Hugh. Hugh-bris

hur hur hur...

did you mean hybris? or... what i think would work too with the look on his face... huge bris...could be both...

Hubris, but I did like the huge bris possility too. Double the pun!

Shouldn't it be Vik-tory?

Some WIP shots of my entry...

Question Which head do you think I should use???







^Some other WIPs

Man everyone I am very impressed! Well done.

Helmed. Backpack is lush btw.

Don't tempt me, my wallet aches as it is!

Edit: Apologies for the pics, the only thing I have to take pictures with is a gopro, and I'm not too good with it.)
After many hours of frustration, I modeled the gosh-darn-hard-to-make-look-decent-without-ripping-your-hair-out crisis suit. While it's a good pose, I feel like something is missing to give it that "heroic" flair. (Besides walking over the broken hull of his enemy that was previously a leman russ battle tank.)

hey i missed your post! welcome! and spread the word!

Just an update on my project, most of the frameworks done, just lots of fiddly bits left

So long story short, apparently "Hey can I borrow your camera" in my family means "Hey Ima delete all the pictures on it!"

I had planned to post WiPs before primer, but alas, those are now lost to the warp >< Hopefully Thats not too big of an issue- sorry guys :/
These pictures show the finished skin color, and the start of the carapace. Also, MUCH more looting.





A close up of the head, featuring some power gubbins I found in my bitz box.


The arms, including a pair of Orky Boneswords/scything talons. This guy will be close combat all the way! (unpictured is a more bionic-style CCW arm)


Finally, a close up on the skin color.

nice work so far everyone

Lots of really cool entries. Good work everyone.

update:



Sorry for the blurry photo, best I can offer right now.

nice work everyone. Keep it up!

My finished model. It's taken a couple of days that I shouldn't have spent on it, but I suppose it was worth it. I really don't have anymore time to spare, I hope you like it. More images in my gallery (front, side, back). They're located here
This is the WIP

I hope you like it! I enjoyed building and painting it, and I suppose that's what matters the most.

I'm grateful for the reading fail though, I was somehow under the impression it was the end of January and had to have my entry painted up in the next week. Big relief that I have time to finish greenstuffing and paint in the next MONTH. Whew! So many projects vieying for attention, ORks, Dust, Warmahordes, Terrain -- Hobby overload!

no such thing as to much hobby!

Just wanted to gt people's opinions, I'm planning on adding a khorne icon/trophy rack to by entry and can't decide which one, what do you guys think?





Also I really like where the looted hive tyrant it going, the warrior head on he tail is a nice touch

Personally, Id go with the first one. I think it looks more impressive, plus SM helms I think make better trophies. Can bring more color to your model as well!

And thanks for the complement on the Tyrant- The Warrior head is on there because I wasnt given a tail for him- so I built one! Part of one of the guns for the tail, then the head as the ridge at the end of it. Shortly after doing all that my friend walks up to me with the actual tail in his hands. Seems he just found it

i cant say as i am a judge!

i think the necron head is a bit useless... i don´t think necrons could be scared by using one of their own slain...tho the KG head is a suitable trophy if there ever was one... also the tau head! i bet they wet their pants sooner than they thought^^

and...


the hero... captain victory...













note... there is no blue in the scheme for this captain... i know it rather makes this captian look like a UK version of the US Agent... but since queen victoria the great is still after 40 millenia in deep mourning over her late husband... and his favorite color was blue... all blue was banished from usage for the whole empire... so cap looks like this... the model is by the way pre wash... so may the lords help me for the next steps...


cheers, vik

Very nice vik-tory! love the color choice and like how you did the stripes definatly not overdone! ( plust I think the black suits 40k more than a blue suit)

Neat!

As a huge Captain America fan, lemme say that Cap. V is AWESOME!

thanks mates... greatly apreciated!... hopefully i get around to work today some more on cap

Quick query, for final shot do you want single image, series of pics, or a composite shot?

 inmygravenimage wrote:

good question, i didnt really think about it. A single shot of a Wip, and Final and if you wanna do composite for all the angles that be great.

Now Wip... do you want the full build pre-primer? I may not be able to meet that due to lost pictures

The Necron trophy on a Champion's rack isn't to strike fear into the 'hearts' of Necrons, it's to show all his buddies that he kicked Necron butt.

There is a UK version of Captain America. His name is... how so very original... Union Jack. Spoiler because the pic is huge and I didn't want to junk up the thread.



No update to share, buried on my Terrain project this weekend, I'll be back w/ more Hero stuff later.

Ramos Asura wrote:Now Wip... do you want the full build pre-primer? I may not be able to meet that due to lost pictures

No problem, just one to prove you made it. Doesnt mattter the stage, as long it is pre paint. Primer is fine.

sounds good mate!

Amazingly, I'm pretty much done with my hero (and base). Have some finishing touches to do which I'll aim to complete tomorrow when there's some daylight (hopefully), although rain is forecast...

Once this is done I'll take some final photos to go with the WIPs - have a pop-up lightbox that will finally see some use, rather than the usual green cutting mat background

at skalk... yeah i know of union jack... if i was a better painter... for such a model...i would need a new sort of model i think... with cadians and catachan bitz i think it isn´t possible...?

Will my quoted post be enough for a final submission since it directs you to my gallery for more pictures?

So, didn't get a chance to do anything today - broken toilet cistern took precedence, and constant rain scuppered any hopes of good daylight photos.

As a teaser though, here's a pre-touched up image...


Want to do some more on the banner and some tidying up of the armour. Possibly also some OSL on the power fist

@ Know no pear: I didn't respond to the images cuz i don't want to give my opponents even more of an edge, specially when they do a good job like that one...

@ Ruglud... nah... its done man Don't do OSL or the banner...

Seriously though... yeah, i think some OSL might do it... Maybe I should try some too... but never done that before, and really wouldn't even know where to begin...

@know no pear - nice, looks like he's enjoying him self in all that gore

@Maus - only some minor tweeks needed now... Problem I have with OSL is I've also never attempted it before. Having said that I experimented with NMM on the gold - pretty happy withthe results for a first time so maybe OSL is achievable?

The gold is NMM? Wow!

Very well done, and at Know no Pear, your submission is perfect. Thank you all the work here is amazing.

woot, need more paint and super glue...

probably a week until I get any more work done on my entry... Not that I can decide wether to enter the herald I've finished modeling or the one I'm still working on...

Hey guys! how is the work coming along?

Swimmingly!









Got to do a bit more work on him, and I need to finish his remaining arms and base. Almost done though!

that looks great! love the grots.

I'd love to enter if the options still open?
it would be a decent motivational tool to get cracking on my army.

Still finishing up the last weapon and a bit of paint but the positioning and base is all done. I will have a better camera for the final shots

So, I'm going to give a WIP shot, but I've got a bit of a problem. My model is very black with dark red highlights, and the dark-on-dark doesn't show up well on the picture (it does in person, though). I can never seem to get enough light with just the sun and my gopro. Any suggestions?

use a white back drop. If you dont provide a wip it wont be judged.

How about also trying a homemade lightbox, something like the pic in this link shows - just a cardboard box, some table lights and white paper / fabric

Mine is done and just need to a composite pic.

Thanks mate. I don't really do osl and never use cinematics so tried to push myself a bit.

Withdrawing from comp due to IRL. Great work so far, best of luck to all, and congrads to the winner!

So, I still have to do the base, but the plan is to model some fire on there and try some neat things with OSL. Wish me luck!

Good start mate, keep it up.

Sorry! I should have taken a picture of him when I was picking out the parts.
