Just did this as part of an ongoing eldar commission , I have a blog in the P&M section as well

Very interesting look and style. Not sure the metal works with it just yet, but it looks quite good as well.

Looking forward to more pics.

ACK!!!! MOLD LINES!!!

Sorry, man, but I hat to see such beautiful painting ruined by mold lines. The ones on the left shoulder and knee ruin it for me. It is sad, because less than 5 minutes with a file would have fixed it.

BTW, I love the way that you did the white bone...some of the best wraithbone work I have seen!

You know, I wouldn't have noticed that if you hadn't of mentioned it, all in all I like the painting style very different, although I am unsure of the metallics though, not sure if it quite fits..

I think its awsome, I wouldnt have noticed the mold lines either if it wasnt so "ACK"ly pointed out

Anyhow. Nice paint job

Very pretty, and I didnt see the mold lines until they were brought to my attention.

Gems are cool,

I like the wraith bone head ,

but the rest of the wrinkly lines reminds me of elephant skin :x

I didnt build these , these came built primed and a lot of it painted to a lower standard , I went in fixed rearranged and tried to clean up all that I could ( including stripping some down with simple green ) I guess one or two lines got by I can always go in and fix it .

And why is that shoulder pad in 2 pieces what a poor design flaw .

Thanks for all the comments guys .

I think you really need to edit this line

thats a pretty nice paint job , love the gems they look so shiny and real , although the main body and head looks like the paint is really thick. how many layers?

Excellent work! It's good to see someone trying something new with Eldar models, and the striations give it an almost marbled-with-age kind of look, very evocative.

Nice job ( except mold line but i sometimes forgot somes)
great work indeed

Ack! Posters fussing over mould lines that aren't that obvious!!

Seriously, some posters only actually comment in a thread if it's about mould lines. What's the deal there?

Ace paint job dude. Very streaky...

The streaks are sick, like a blue tiger. And those gems... best i have seen in a long while.

Hey thanks all I have 2 more coming in the next day or so , than I work on wave serpents .

I went in a took the glowing rocks and light sourcing a bit , I like the way it turned out .
