				<title>My Blood Angels Work</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I am really wondering if I am doing OK. I have been painting for a few years, BUT I have never painted a special character. My regular Blood angels will eventually get posted, BUT I am looking for a bit of feedback. Did I do an OK job on this figure.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/462094-Astorath%2C%20Astorath%20The%20Grim%2C%20Blood%20Angels%2C%20Grim.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/9/462094_sm-Astorath%2C%20Astorath%20The%20Grim%2C%20Blood%20Angels%2C%20Grim.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.<br /> <br /> I will be adding more than just Astorath now....]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ Definitely OK.  Nice work on the face and you still have good details on the armor ridges.  I'm not sure if that's yellow or gold on the wing and armor edges.  ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ It is gold, and thanks for the compliment on the face. I have been trying very hard to get the details down. Here is another view of him.........<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/462171-Astorath%20%232.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/10/462171_sm-Astorath%20%232.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /> <br /> I don't have the pic yet, but I did paint the skull in the middle. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ You could try to use a wash.  I would try it on a test model first and see what wash works best with that gold.  I've used <span class="glossaryitem" onmouseover='gp(50);'>GW</span> Nuln Oil wash on some of my golds and I like it, but it's personal taste.]]></description>

				<title>Astorath the Grim</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ The only thing I can think of is that it lacks a bit of contrast. I think a wash of nuln oil on the gold and red parts would fix that. Enough to sink into the cracks (especially on the red) and bring out those lines. Then if you think it's too dark, you can go over the very tops of the lines with the same red you used to paint them originally, which will really bring out the tops of the ridges but leave the crevices reasonably dark.<br /> <br /> Otherwise, the face looks really good as do the scrolls. ]]></description>

				<title>Re:Astorath the Grim</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I think it's looking good but if possible could you throw up a few more pics from different angles and in better lighting? It's a bit hard to make out the model because the lighting is very dim here. <br /> <br /> What I generally do is position my fluorescent desk lamp as directly above the model as possible so that there is plenty of light and my camera doesn't need to use its flash. I also set the camera on Macro setting, the one that looks like a little flower. <br /> <br /> Example:<br /> <div style="margin-top:5px; margin-bottom:10px;">
<div class="gensmall" style="margin-bottom:2px"><b>Spoiler</b>: <input type="button" class="mainoption" value="Click to Show" onClick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Click to Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Click to Show'; }">
</div>
<div style="margin: 0px; padding: 7px; border: 1px inset;">
<div style="display: none;">
This is with lighting from above and a little bit to the front of the model. By no means the best photo but it helps to bring out a bit of the detail. Fluoro does make the colours look a bit washed out. A daylight bulb is better if you can get one, but my desk lamp only fits a fluoro at the moment:<br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/463939-5th%20Company%2C%20Cool%20Paint%20Job%2C%20Dark%20Angels%2C%20Dark%20Vengeance%2C%20Raphael%2C%20Sergeant.html" target="_new" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://images.dakkadakka.com/gallery/2013/2/15/463939_sm-5th%20Company%2C%20Cool%20Paint%20Job%2C%20Dark%20Angels%2C%20Dark%20Vengeance%2C%20Raphael%2C%20Sergeant.JPG" border="0" /></a>

				<description><![CDATA[ Yep, I agree. Much better with the better lighting and a big improvement over the first shots.<br /> <br /> The gold is still a bit too bright and a bit yellow but it's not a big deal. I like the dirty look of the scrolls and the lightning effects on the axe blade, they both look quite nice.]]></description>

I will be adding a few more of my marines a bit later. ]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[ I like the work so far.  Maybe try a wash after you apply your base coat to pull out some detail, but that's just a suggestion.  The red eyes are interesting on all the models.  <br /> <br /> One thing you can do is paint the purity seals.  Green on the circle part and do the paper part like you did the scroll work on Astorath.  It will help break up the red.  <br /> <br /> Red power weapons, I can't help.  I tried a couple and never could get them the way I wanted them.  There are some good tutorials out there on youtube and miniwargaming that can help with it.<br /> <br /> Keep up the good work!]]></description>
