Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards - Update 20/7: new unitfiller! I'd say the temple guards and the stegadon kit.
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizzards - A newcomers paint log. Btw, I'v started doing just that, and it really works. Thanks alot
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards - Update 20/7: new unitfiller! Nothing really happening, because im out of models... Santa better bring me some! My wishlist: - Steg - Kroh Gar - Bat. box - Skinks I feel like painting something big next!
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards - Update 20/7: new unitfiller! Santa came though Got myself a bat box, steg, kroh gar and some TG's. I started working on the steg yesterday. I went with strewart's suggestion on color scheme (Thanks ). Primed it black, worked the two first skin layers and now im working on the scales. This is how i looks so far:
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards - Update: STEGAJOHN! BRILLIANT! Will you make normal "bone" color on the horns and spikes?
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards - Update: STEGAJOHN! Thanks alot! Yeah, I'll go for some bleach bone stribes on brown. Just like the horns on your avatar pic. I'll work on it as soon as my hangover lets me
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards - Update: STEGAJOHN! Thanks News on the steg. I worked the third skin layer, scales and horns. The pic aint to good, sorry. Im not sure i like the scales, but i like the way the last layer of highlights came out. Feels good painting something els than Saurus'
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- Skin highlights I must say that I really like the turquoise color of your ropes!
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- Skin highlights How do you guys paint your scales? Im still not sure i like the way they turned out. I might be inspirred by different techniques
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- Skin highlights I didn't paint my scales in any particular way, drybrushing, lots of washes and some fine highlighting. I figured that they would be covered by the howda anyway. You can see some close up on my steg here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/71779159@N05/6485979845/sizes/l/in/photostream/
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- Skin highlights With the beast done i started with the platform. Here I turn to you guys! I'v painted some of the stuff on the base and kept the rest golden. The orange toad represents the slann (dah....), the blue are the flames in my army and the snake and lizard represent the greens of the humanoid troops. My question to you guys: Should i paint more of the stuff on the base, or just keep it simple?
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- platform I think that's personal taste. I like yours, very striking.
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- platform that is BEAUTIFUL! very simple, but yet so striking! i wouldnt change a thing tbh. super eager to see it all finished EDIT: ok, maybe a little bit more of an edge highlight to the green, but thats it
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- platform Yeah I agree, that platform looks great as it is!
Re: Dark Muddy Yet Shinny Lizards. Update: STEG- platform I appreciate all the replies I stuck with the simple platform. Im working the sides of the platform. Finished the left side, took me all bloody night.... What you guys think? Im worried that there isnt enough contrast between the steg and platform? Looks like this: Let me know if im spamming useless minor updates, but im finding it very interesting to spare with you guys alonge the way to gain the best possible result
Re: bgm200's Lizards. Update: STEG - Platform Sides Looks good! And the more updates the better imo. I might've tried to work some dark green in there somewhere (maybe on the shield scales, or the platform's cloth 'railings') for a bit of extra contrast. I really the lighting/wear effect on the cloth railings, though. What colours did you brush on?
Re: bgm200's Lizards. Update: STEG - Platform Sides Yeah, that might just work. Ill try to paint the shields green. The cloth railings is based with catachan green, and highlighted with different mixes of catachan green and skull white
Re: bgm200's Lizards. Update: STEG - Exams. Im quite bussy with exams atm, but hopefully i can sneak off to do some painting soon
