Your marines look awesome

@miss dee:Hell no. It's supposed to be a concert, not a strip club.

Brilliant work, really nice to come across a painter about my age to set a standard that seems more acheivable for me to reach, even if it takes me 30 years. Thanks for posting your Marines.

So you dont like Madonas stuff she puts on when on stage?

Im sorry but what?!? Someone like Cheryl Cole maybe, but Madonna....

Omg these are guys with those nipples!! Not girls!

Yea, if you want nipples youl know where to find them. If you were making yourself a suit of armour, would you put nipples on it?

Probably not lol.

Frak it all, keep the nipples! lol

dame your models realy look great!!

I have to say, your work is absolutely amazing! you have given me alot of ideas for my army. very well done!

This battle damage would suit a Marines Malovent army perfect *hint*

Just to let you know, moulded roman breastplates had nipples in many cases... it does not make it gay...

Anyhow, leaving behind the nipple armour argument (hopefully permanently) I have got another update for you (much sooner than I expected I would).

The first member of Severus' honour guard is finished; and here are some pictures:


He’s come out surprisingly well for a quick and somewhat rushed job, (and no, I will not file off those nipples lol)


I spent about 20 minutes to half an hour on this axe. I’m going to do the same paintjob on the axe of my librarian for GD but obviously do a lot better job on it than on this. Though it’s nice to try it out on another model beforehand.


Just to finish off, a nice picture of my Dawn Warriors' land raider redeemer I painted about a year or so ago. It is one if not the first picture I put up on DakkaDakka all that time ago lol.

Cheers for all those constructive comments (nipple comments are not constructive )

WOOOW!! close to 35,000 veiws!! Thanks to everyone who has looked and or commented on this blog!!! you are invaluable!!

Thanks

I think the land raider needs nipples.....
Congrats on the massive amount of views! I will be continuing to add to that number as long as you keep putting out awsome lil dudes!

Oh yeah whalemusic... THAT was a constructive comment... LOL


Beautiful work SoO. I knew a girl in a medieval reenactment group once who wore a beautiful, custom made steel breast plate with (modest) breasts on it with brass nipples. She'd just wait until she caught you looking at her "chest" and ... WHAM!!! Bed time for bonzo...

Nipples have their uses... even on armor.

Great job! You have inspired me: I went on Ebay just last night and won meself some kriffing awesome Sanguinary torsos, mate! I'm gonna' use the one you used for my Assault Sergeant. Thanks for giving us all great ideas!

And personally, I quite agree with you about the nipples. They do not in ANY WAY make it look gay, and IMO they make it look cooler because it completes the muscle feel. I AM NOT GAY AND DO NOT LIKE MALE NIPPLES! DON'T BE A HATER!

I have been following the thread for a while, love the work you are doing. Your weathering effect is something I aspire to. I'm intimidated to try and have it look terrible tho. Maybe a few rounds of test models are in order.

Also, the muscle chest piece is supposed to be a bit of functional art if I am correct. And in art, the human form is considered a very beautiful piece of aesthetic. That is why the nipples are included.

Nipple armour ain't gay, it's just well...creepy.

Wow dude. Great stuff. I'm hoping to get anywhere near as good as you...

Get over it Munch Munch! So you find nipples intimidating and scary! Maybe that's why they put it on their armor!

I hear what you're saying about the "nipple" sh*t thats flying around. Not constructive. But since the Blood Angles pride themselves on beauty (Cause of Sanguinius. Don't quote me on that I may be wrong) then all aspects of the male form would be considered.

But anyway, great looking modle there, I particularly like the mottled effect on his armour

And that was contructive? (Odd Reenactment if you ask me.)

Anyway SoO, we want to see your libby!! I just can't wait any longer...

I didn't claim it was constructive.... just topical.

Everything you paint is amazing. I especially like that chaplain. Keep it up man.

Wow, Im gonna have to use them as honour guard at some point...and the jump packs for vanguard veterans. How did you do the brass effect on the back of the axe head?? it looks really nice.

Imp. Monkey

It always makes me happy when I see you've updated this thread!

Great stuff, as always!

As some of you have been asking about the librarian I went against my self-ban from painting him till after my exams (only a week and a bit to go now) and had a crack at his face, which is now about 60% done. Here are some pics; there'll be some more shot before the end of the week hopefully.


About 20 to 30% complete (Saturday evening)



As he looks now; his left eye really needs to be tidied up as it’s a total mess at the moment as you can see :(

Cheers guys,

SoO

Realy good dude!

How did you get so much emotion on that tiny face!

Awesome work cannot wait to see more on the libby as you work on it.

Maj. Kolbak

I love Librarians (!), and I have a feeling yours is going to turn out really, really nice!

Battle damage man.... just battle damage. Outstanding job. You could... no check that... should do a tutorial on painting faces.

here are some more pics of the librarian for you to see.

Gonna get to work on mine now after lunch. You have inspired me!
