Ok Slann finished, will put him in the gallery tomorrow but here he is.

 

I love it when the casters are dynamic. Very good looking slann

 

Ok guys Carny is almost finished,



Hopefully have him done this week.

 

The ice blue colors on the carno looks great!

Mind sharing the technique you used to archive that?

 

Not at all, I used Temple guard blue as a base then added 20/80 white scar and did layer 1, then 40/60 for layer 2 and finally white scar for the final highlight, the idea was to just leave the blue at the edges so he is almost white.

I'm bebating wether to add a blue glaze, once the rider is finished and the base I should be able to make that decision.

 

Ok guys Carny is finished,










As always what do you think?

 

Just swapped the photos, should be fine now.

 

I didn't glaze him in the end I painted the ridge of his back black instead, your right about the head dress I wanted to leave it bland to try and draw your eye to carny but I might edge highlight now and maybe do a bit more detail on it since you have pointed that out.

 

I painted when I was 14 up until I was 21 some 24 years ago, I got quite competent at it, I even entered the Golden demons one year and my enttry won best in store at GW Liverpool branch.

I stopped after that due to them forgetting to enter my minis into the final, they left them behind at the store!!

 

Thanks for the kind words, I'm still learning how to edge highlight etc as these techniques were not used back then, I still have my entry I will post a few pics of it.
