Hello All!


Here are pics of a Blood Angels "Astorath the Grim" I painted and sold on ebay a few years ago.

I hope you like it.

Thanks
D.

Looking brilliant. It is always hard to get such a bright red without it looking orange.

Did you use a florescent red paint to get that super bright red? Or is it just that it LOOKS super bright compared to the shadows?

Red looks good.

I agree with above, that red is brilliant! nice work.

I love that model so much. The paintjob is good too.

Awesome! Looks really vibrant which is hard to do. I got one of these guys coming in the mail and I am going to totally try to copy you... but totally won't be as good

Red looks good.

I used a very dark red as the undercoat for the red. Then painted it Blood red with Blazing orange and Fiery orange highlights. And little bit of sepia and mud washes in the deepest parts to bring down some of the color.

I dones't hurt to use many 100 watt daylight bulbs when taking the pictures to make the colors stand out as they would normally look in sunlight.
