Not liking the colors scheme at all. But there can be no denying the amazing skill that was needed to do it so well. Fantastic work!

It's been a while since my last update, however I have been working on this.

I give you, the watcher in the dark







and a closeup

This totally rules. I AM a fan of the unconventional color scheme. It really pops. The techniques used are practiced and well executed. This will be a fun thread to follow.

they are wicked good job

I really like the comic book look over ultra realism sometimes. This is great. Not a fan of purple marines though, but that's just personal pref.

although some have said that you've used to many colors for the detail, which is true, but i think they gel together extremely well, you've done an amazing job on those. Looks incredible. I really like the color scheme, its insane.

I had to keep changing the colours to make sure they complement each other, Took almost a month to get the colours to fit together!

I have to say that, initially, your paint style was a little jarring, but as I got down the thread, it really grew on me. It's bold, chunky and very in your face, which, I have to say, is a great combo. And your painting technique is awesome too, keep it up.

^ This, not boiling water but pretty damn close, dip it for a few seconds and then just flatten it out.

I guess I have to ask why is a "Dark Angel" wearing an Inquisition icon?

The paints look solid but very very busy.

I think these looks awesome! Crazy paint job.

Incredibly well painted. However instead of DA, these scream EMPERORS CHILDREN at me.

Here's Book, he reads more often than fighting, which is why he takes his books to the battlefield.





...and a close up

I'm kinda, sorta, in love with the golden stormbolter barrels.

The marble floor is a great touch.

Pink DA..

How did you make pink DA look so fine? I love them!

EDIT: One thing, you should make a pink lighting effect or something for the hammer of the Watcher, it blends to much in with the rest of armor as it is now IMHO.

Outstanding. Simply outstanding. You jazzed it up. All of it.

Nice technique awesome looking models just don't know if I like the chosen colour, buts that's personal taste. 10 out of 10 for skill though

I am a big fan of your alternate color scheme. I like the early 90s paint style, i.e. vibrant color. Your blending is nice and the poses quite unique. Very well done.

I thought I'd post a double episode!

Here's Rocky, and Prayer, Rocky is from the Movie Legends squad









Here are a few close ups:

Your technique is excellent. I'm going to echo lots of people and say that I'm not sure I like your color palette: it's all over the place.

They look nice, it looks like they just walked out of a candy shop.

Uhhhh......I absolutely love the techniques, and its just a personal opinion.....but the Lion have mercy on your soul for those colours

That said, lovely tehcnique!

And Mr T.

Awesome!

Dude these are soo sick. I love the purple approach. You used almost every color and have made it work very nicely!

Subscribed, love the scheme and you have some real talent for shading

I love the colours! I have purple and green DA, some BOYS have no imagination when it comes to colours and anything not chapter specific gets under their skin. Do you have any tac marines or vehicles planned for this scheme.

I love the scheme, not at all what you would expect from DA and that's by no means a bad thing. The fact that you have executed it so well helps too! Are you using a black undercoat?

How do you do your blending? I really like your style and strive for a similar effect in my painting, but I'm not even half as successful as you.

Beautiful blending and painting overall
