Oh yes, like hes been put through the wringer and has come out shooting, love the weathering!

Ok, start time on the Dark Eldar.

Not really that much done, but I needed to check the color of the cloth is appropriate with the guy getting the final product. I'm also trying to work out if the blue should be used on all parts of the body glove with the black being used for the armored parts.

I think so: it would give some continuity to the model to have a bit of blue on his arms. I can't really tell what's going on for the chest/neck/face area, but I don't think that should be blue, IMHO

Keep up the good work!
Rawson

Looks very promising vent. I agree with Rawson on the blue.

IT CONTINUES!

More of the blue. Still some more to do, a few more layers and washes and layers...I know you guys said not to go with blue up around his head cloth, but it seemed appropriate. You can be the judge.



EDIT: I had to stop using my WIP backgrounds. The blue was too close to the blue used.

EDIT: I can't stop singing "I feel pretty... Oh so pretty..." Every time I look at the miniature... I think I Should be concerned...

I think he looks fantastic vent! Does that guy really have 4 arms?

I agree, and yes, he is going for a 4 armed hug.

Yup,. Four Arms. Which are a pain in the ass to paint!

The 'Hug of Death' pose... I prefer to call it the 'Look-I-have-a-shiny-box-of-doom!' pose...

Yup, it's an any mini competition with Infinity stuff as the prize

In that case, done.

woooooow.... That Dark Eldar is looking great! The blue is so striking! Are those all GW colors? I want to say something like a progression from Enchanted to Ice, with a wash or to of asurman blue (I dont know the new colors yet, sorry xD)

Keep it up!

Actually, I've given up on GW colours. Everything I own is now Vallejo with a little bit of P3 mixed in. As for the blues here... Ummm good question... Let's have a look at the pamphlet... Turquoise is the base colour and then I've lightened it with increasing amounts of Off White.

Facebook is a confusing thing. I'm always commenting on the wrong thing or sharing stuff that I didn't want to share...

Massive thanks going out to Whalemusic360, Solar_Lion & Knightley!

A little while ago my place got broken into and robbed, and as part of the big FU they broke a bunch of my figures which were in the process of being painted. These three have just sent me a gift package of Marines which will replace ALL of the broken ones and then some! It's much appreciate guys, I'm gonna have to paint you all something as thanks (Is that a thankful act? hmmm dunno...)!

Cool, glad it made it there ok. Just our way to show that not everyone is a deviant assbag, and that you are a part of a strong community that takes care of its own.

Nice work WM and Co!

Arakasi checking in! (Better late than never right?)

Looking forward to seeing the Dark Eldar progress.

I'd add to your first post that the pictures start here: Trade Marine Day One...

(well, until you back fill the rest )

After six weeks from hell, in which many things I don't want to think about happened, I have come back to prove I'm not dead...



Bunch of stuff done. Can't be assed explaining it today... And yes, a finger broke off as well as the base. I cannot stand fine cast miniatures...

Battle damage mate. No worries.

Sorry to hear your life's been so rough... you've been missed.

Thanks Gits. Hopefully I'll be posting a little more often over the next few weeks.

Glad to see you back, bummer about the finecast woes, and all the other stuff.

Holy crap. I'm done.



Gratuitous close ups:

And the other side:

Oh my gosh vent... that's awesome! Love the blood trailing into the water. Wonderful job on the DE vestments. The diorama itself is outstanding... well done my friend!

Great use if the come at me hamoculus. Very nice little showcase piece.

Thanks guys. GW reposted it on their Facebook page too ^_^

So... do you send it to them, or do they find it themselves and re-post it?

Really nice work Vent, love the different tones in the blood, and congrats on the GW page!

Saw this on the GW FB. Excellent job brother the blood/water effects are awesome.

Thanks guys

My Flickr page uploads to the GW Flickr Page when I use certain tags for the photos. They took the photos from their Flickr page and uploaded it to their Facebook page. So yeah, in a way I sent it to them
