i agree, while the painting is good and its a nice scheme it could do with something that stands out. its a tad plain. Overall though its good, better than anything i could do ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/751065.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/751065.page GMT nid color wip cool so it looks plain ill add some blues to it as well as some reds and yes it dose look slightly like a wasp and yes the hugh carnifex looks more lime a wasp after all hes like what the size of a squad of genestealers,any ways thanks for the comments and ideas.

also this is a wip not a completely done paint job]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/751080.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/751080.page GMT nid color wip ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/757883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/757883.page GMT nid color wip
At first I was thinking that the bright yellow highlight used on the edges could be toned down a little or have a bit of a gradient buildup...but then I think you would lose part of the dynamic of the patterns.

I agree that the tenticles should be painted a different color but I don't think blue would be a good color as it would be too sharp a contrast and gets back to the "rainbow nids" scheme that you are trying to avoid. Maybe you could experiment with either a charred brown worked up to burnt red (brownish red) or dark red with a bit of violet mixed in. The darker reds (not bright reds or oranges) will complement the deeper ochres of your model IMHO. You can check out the skin tones on my biovores for an example of the "burnt red" or the big sacs on my albino's barbed strangler for an example of a "redish purple". ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/783973.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/783973.page GMT nid color wip http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/783977.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/783977.page GMT nid color wip

Ditto, ditto, ditto and ditto! While it may not be exactly "Wasp/Bee/Hornet like" the scheme is such that it reminds me (and probably others) of a big scary, stinging bug. Well done!!! It stands out and is unique! Also a very natural looking scheme.

As for the mouth bits? What about a shiny blue/black, also similar to real bugs. Just some thoughts.

Now after viewing the frogs, I wonder if the tenticles might not look better in more of a tan worked up to Bleached Bone?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/784261.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/242549/784261.page GMT Re:nid color wip ive added some blue claws,as of nowi have 4 projects going on so ill tryand post a finished minni this weekend
