Your colour work on that model thus far is gorgeous... carry on sir...

Nice work, BB. it's looking great.

Black dude came out well also.

Beautiful colours on that TAG

Look forward to it finished!

Thanks for the nice words guys...i like how this one is coming out too! Its really fun to paint
Dr H im not such a fan of the guy in black..ill have to redo him...or rather do another one of him...li also dont like the sculpt...but hes good enough for now

heres updated pics! Speaks for itself which parts have been worked on The (his) right part of the chest cover needs a little tlc(pic 2)...just a touch up to define the edge shade...and the larger weapon needs a few tiny corrections that i noticed after uploading pics. the right side of the gun casing that is turqouise is also a few stages behind the left side(pic 1). But, frankly, im really pleased so far...lets hope i continue moving forward here...

thanks for looking! Thoughts appreciated






cheers
BB

You have some lovely shading going on there.

That's some great shading BeBop ! You should do big more often !

Thanks Guys! Glad you like him. Me too! I must say, H, that after painting severeal of the super tiny regular troopers, its such a breath of fresh air to paint something new!! Ive made some more progress on him Might have to slow down a little bit just for precaution lol....heres pics!!




thanks for looking. cnc appreciated

Black is a tricky thing to make look right on a miniature. I know on the few things I've attempted black on, I've either had to try several times, get lucky, make do with my dry-brushing, or just accept that it's dark grey and not black anyway...

Good work on the robo-thing. The purple is particularly good.

I have no idea what it is but it looks phenominal! Dont stop, BB!

Lol..i guess infinity is not as popular as the gw universe...zambro its a TAG. A giant robot essentially...heavy hitter on my squad Dr H, in reference to black, on this fellow, i have washed varying degrees of a dark dark grey, almost black...then reinforced shades instead of focus on highlighting. I think thats the way to go about it on the smaller guys too, which i will try next...


And hes still not finished but coming along nicely i think..only one angle pictured here becauuse i have to paint an angle at a time and the others have had no work done to them, so nothing new to show there...heres more pics...




thanks for comments lurks and critiques!
cheers
BB

I really like it BB ! I wish I had half your skill and patience for layering!

Hes Finished! I posted on the Showcase forum too But heres same pics for you guys
Cheers!

BB

Yup my Bebop friend !
It's always cool to come to your topic, everytime there's something nice to look at.

I like that... well... is that a robot ? Some kind of power armor ? I don't know anything about Infinity's background.
Nice clean and crisp painting, good looking effects, we have to get into details to have anything to say.


From what I can see, I'd say there is only one thing that I would change. And once again it is about... guess what ? The color scheme !
Well, seriously, I love this model, and the color scheme is great. Except that red. Why on earth did you add red ? Did you have some kind of 90's nostalgia or so ? ^^


Oh, is it from the same faction as the other Infinity models you already posted ? Will he get that purplish icy base that I like so much ?


PS : I'm a bit late, but regarding the previous model, yep I was talking about the pose and the general look of the mini. It looks good, but the first model you showed have more personnality, and I prefer them.

Lol oh minus,,,,

i laugh because i absolutely adore the orange(its really a bright reddish orange..not red). I was giggling while painting it, just admiring how nutty it was to put in there. But really yeah its inspired pretty heavily by japanese manga land mate designs and color schemes...

As per the base...its exactly as the others...because its just random washes of teal periwinkle and pink...each one might lend more to one of the three colors than the next base but yeah barely...

Oh sh*t, I commented on the last WIP photo, I hadn't seen the finished version.

So yeah, now the base is similar to his buddies bases. And it's perfect. I've rarely seen a base so simple, and so nice at the same time.


The orange (almost red ) is less disturbing on the last set of photos too. I would still skip that color, but as you say it can be seen as a reference to late 80's animations... Oh man I'm 7 years old again now and making robots noises with my mouth...

Haha no worries Minus...yeah i agree, i like the base too...i kinda just stumbled across it by accident. At first it was just the various washes, which looked ok, but adding the chipping and scratches and weathering really, excuse the pun, grounded it into an actual floor type material instead of cotton candy. lol.

And just wow man! bloody amazing work, seriously and honestly I say this is top notch stuff :-) you've improved so damn fast recently my head is spinning!

That.Is.LUSH!!! Great great job fella. Must pick up some Inf fogs at some point; they have some tidy gear. Looking at the ....Kum motorised riders (? think that's what they're called)
Anyways - wonderful piece *tips hat*

Great to hear from you guys!! I know that infinity is lost on a lot of people here, but i was starting to get dissapointed with how little attention it seeems to garner, especially after working so hard on something, to no interest,,,,((i probably owe the Dakka gods some orks and space marines)) All this to say, glad you fellas stopped in!!

@ Damo...phew i thought i had lost my long lost painting bro...great to see you pop in here Very glad you like!! your own talents and thoughts go a long way in keeping me inspired damo! Ill say this, painting these models has given me a chance to work on things i dont normally with GW figures...also their a bit smaller so things i thought worked, became not so good, so ive had to alter what i do and paint with much thinner paint...truth be told...im basically washing everything and blending...from light to dark...its a bit of a departure from the eavy metal way, which is how i (i think us both) have loved learned and been inspired to paint. Anyways much love Damo!!

@ Januine Welcome dude!! Thanks!! Yes, i LOVE the infinity models, back story, game stystem, rules, art and company...honestly, itll be a while before i even consider going back to GW...and itll probably be for fantasy...The infinity models, while smaller....are just EPIC poses. If you ever wanted to play a minis game straight out of an episode of Bubblegum Crisis, or Appleseed...with landmates to boot, infinity is your GAME!!!

Great squad, BB! I really like your painting style. I zoomed in on the last one, and it looks so much better! I was supprised at how far I could zoom before it went blurry.

Hey there dude!

How did I miss your work the last couple of months??

Anyway, great looking infinity models you got there. The purple/blue reminds me of another project you had going on a while ago.

Will be following you again, now that I have found this thread again!

Lol thanks Bebop :-) I'm never far away mate just lurking and watching you grow as an artist! I can hear you about the differing models bringing new ways to your techniques! I do the Primarchs way different than anything I do normally and the way you do these guys is a method I've dabbled with but only on smaller parts of models such as robes and cloaks, it lends itself well for that sort of thing! keep it up man I always really love seeing your progress!

Thanks Zambro! Yeah the pics are really quite giant so they can all be zoomed pretty far in
Develain, man whats up? Great to hear from you!! Yeah the purple and blue i do like...ugh...i meant to get away from it but these miniatures are begging to be painted in bright tones>_< lol...blame minus for the purple.

Heya guys! I'm in la enjoying some sunshine and painting. Here's work on the 3rd fusiler. Still very earlywip. Before blavk lining and highlighting...and shading. I started with an upper midtone for each piece...except the hair. Also the purple is now prominently part of my scheme. Whatch think??



BB

Thats quite the early WiP. It looks like you've got a long way to go

Its never really occured to me before to use a midtone as a base - well, I dont think colour, followed by wash counts as starting at midtone . I've always done darkest to lightest. I might have to give starting at a midtone a go on my next WoC character.

Alright! Yup i made more progress here...pushed up highlights and darkened areas. As you can see I kinda just work randomly over the mini..some areas further along than others. Clearly the back is far behind, and splotchy areas will be cleaned up. I kinda mark points of light this way. I've begun black lines...clean up needed...love the hair....:p

Zambro I don't wash persay...I kinda paint with washes so I'm putting the shade exactly wear I want

Here's the pics



Cheers!
BB

Great work. Brilliant choice of colours. These models are so good, your painting just brings out the best of them.

Damn Girl! you fine! ....uh huh, Mmmmm

I'm with Nerdy...

Good work BB.

Very nice work. I like that colour scheme. Reminds me of a transformers toy I once had. Good stuff.
