Well what yall think of the Eldar Fire warrior it is the 1st model that i have painted for a commision.



will post more pics later.

love the paint job, nice highlighting aswell.

Not too keen on the highlighting. You used some black ink as well, didn't you?

From the face I can see you've got a steady hand (some people just paint a blob instead of eyes ) but I think the problem here is that you used a "lemon" yellow over orange. You should do thinner lines (even if you have to cover half of it with the base colour) and try using a colour one step directly above the orange - there are a number of guides on the net on how to do it.

And I think you should drop the black ink, it's good as shading if you use it carefully (around the edges where the armour plate meets the undersuit, or around the raised stones) and the ink would work a lot better on a model with large surfaces like an Eldar.

Remember to post more pics (and get rid of the hair next to the Fire Dragon )

lol, missed the hair...stupid cat =\

and I used the badab black wash over it then highlighted it.

and for the yellow on the next one I will use smaller lines thanks =)

Try using a brown wash. Or not using the wash as it's too dark (even a brown might make it look dirty, a red might make it look brownish or reddish) and use a darker shade of orange if possible.

The way I'd recommend doing it would be to get three different (at least) types of orange.

This list has some you can use, even with Macharius orange I think they'll work well. And remember to keep your paints thin or the brushes will show!

And be nice to your cat, cats are cool

not my cats its the wifes lol, I am a dog person =P
