<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Baptized in Blood! WIP"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Baptized in Blood! WIP It's nothing much, especially since these are like my sixt and seventh marine that I'm actually painting, and may or may not be rubbish to your liking

So here, will link few shots.. Again this is work in progress, I still need to add fine details, highlighting, and Ultra's 2nd flag (which is the only thing stopping me from making black templar standing by Ultra o.O)
But damn, with all this blood I should've gone with black templars *sigh* so tempting

As always, could use any ideas, feedbacks, critics, suggestions etc.















Sorry for few blurs, camera is just being a pain..

The painted marine is also far too weathered. He's bronze with blue!

I like the rest though.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233826.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233826.page GMT Baptized in Blood! WIP
What's wrong with plasma gun? :/ if its the actual shot, the plasma is still forming into a 'bullet' ?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233832.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233832.page GMT Baptized in Blood! WIP

Not really, it just makes him look rusty.

And the Plasma just looks, well, there for the sake of it. I'd say to remove it.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233836.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233836.page GMT Baptized in Blood! WIP atm. But I like the plasma! Be sure to paint it very bright. Also, you could do some light effects on the marines then.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233843.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233843.page GMT Baptized in Blood!

About the blood or? Cause the pics aren't doing it justice, in person he looks all bloody :/ but say I want to improve the blood splatter effect already on him, or fix him -anything I can do?
Thx for plasma, I plan to paint from scab red/blood red/fire orange/ultramarine blue/space wolves grey as in blending effect for plasma heating into actual projectile?

And I know I could use light effect on marines I haven't done highlights yet, it work in progess]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233872.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233872.page GMT Re:Baptized in Blood! WIP

Yes, I know about that -but isn't that for 'dripping blood of a weapons' ? I did splatter effect on the marine, cept I could put dripping on bottom flag bearer
edit: but nvm, I clearly used wrong color for blood :/]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233883.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233883.page GMT Baptized in Blood! WIP its quite funky and i love it :3 as for your bloody mairne your doing well but nothing quite makes it "pop" out at you, but thats normally solved by highlighting and washing (well at least the ones i've seen have), and last but not least quite like the idea and might take it to town on my 1ksons when they arrive! keep it going ill be following your work with keen interest!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233898.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4233898.page GMT Baptized in Blood!

Cool, thx -hmmm, I could wash the model a bit and splatter him again with clear red as suggested, that way I'd have two coats of blood I suppose. Just not sure which wash to use, black? Highlighting is on its way

Acrylic paints, especially the reds (Blood Red especially) tend to have a translucent quality. They require a fair few coats to get a solid coat. So, yes, the background colours with change it a lot.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4234726.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4234726.page GMT Baptized in Blood!

Varying finishes can really make a model pop, showing contrast in glossy vs. matte finish. I might have parts of it really dark, to suggest pooled, thicker blood there too.

edit: If I ever have problems with coverage causing color blending to change, I'll paint the areas I want a different color white first, as GW white has decent coverage and will show the new colors in it's purest. This will let you get some areas truly a vibrant color, though a darker tone would benefit the mood here and there.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4246558.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/447262/4246558.page GMT
