This is looking really good, I love what you've done with this.

It's not finished yet though is it?

I've seen some of your work on Warseer PT & M boards, very original ideas and solid execution. I look forward to seeing the others.

Very nice and creepy. Looks like the arms are supposed to look pasty, but I think a little more definition would be nive. The blood spatters are grim!

ooo...vera nice.

Solid blood splatters.  Well placed and thought out. 

I think the photo might be hiding some of the extra definition in the skin, I see a nice violet hue in the right arm, but seems more muted than intended. 

Extremely creepy, and he looks like he'd fit right in with the creeps from Bioshock >.>.

Excellent use of a chaos model.

Do you have more angles/ shots from a bit further away?

It looks great, but it doesn't look particularly AdMech to me.

How the heck did you do that fine splatter?

The supply does not get to make the demands.

Thanks for all the feedback, cats. Here're some shots from different angles – from the left... where you can see the big square chainaxe (not really obvious from the first pic, but goes a long way to making him look a bit more ad mech).

...and from the right, where you can see the servo skull, barcode and blood spatters.

 

...And a shot with him/it in the background along with a bunch of hypaspists. I've since toned down the white to bleached bone and added some extra highlights on the ogryn. The bases will be replaced with nice sculpted resin ones when I get paid this month.

 

The blood spatter was achieved with a mix of chestnut ink, red ink, PVA glue and scab red. Mix 'em all up in equal quantities on your palette (use the back end of the brush), then dip an old toothbrush in, shake off the excess, and carefully draw your finger across it to spatter the mix. Start with small amounts and build up gradually.

One word for that model- BRUTAL.

Fantastic work bro. Love the pale vat-grown skin look. The checking on the face mask looks fantastic too. I think the chain axe is a bit unadorned for an admech, but overall an awesome job!
