Re: First Lizard

I'm guessing this isn't your very first painted miniature,
Because that is a very nice paint job.

No it's not!

I usually paint warmachine/hordes miniatures. But it's my first lizard!

Re: First Lizard

Wow, that Skink Priest looks very very nice! O__O Very solid paint job and nice colors. Those golden feathers look awesome. Can't wait what else you'll create

Re: First Lizard

Beautiful work. That one is the best of the new minis, IMO.

Beautifully done! That model is stunning and I'm sure will stand out on the battlefield.

Re: First Lizard

I'm not a fan of blue lizardmen but with the work you've done here
on the gold, it really makes it look good and much better than the
GW stock standard blue lizardmen.

Re: First Lizard

That looks amazing! It is so much better than mine



I cannot get the details on the feathers right. Its all smudged on my model. I kinda screwed up the staff too I think painting the whole thing in gold is a bit boring. I love you used a purple-blue on the staff it compliments the gold really well. The red/blue gemstones are very nice too!

Stunning level of finish!

It would be perfect if you have photos of the entire model within focus, the shallow depth of field has really hide a lot of your amazing paint job!

Re: First Lizard

I like very much how you paint the green feathers! They are great!

For the gold: I don't use the gold ^^

I start with a base of "Brass" Vallejo Model Color, than 1 or 2 coats of GW "grax earthshade", and than again Vallejo Brass for the lights. Only at last I put some gold paint.

It makes all less "flat".

Ooh, lovely! The blue is very striking and quite a rare case when you are not instantly reminded of the GW scheme. Would you mind sharing your recipe for the blue?

I too enjoy that blue over the GW theme. Nicely done man. Gotta get my hands on a Gor-Rok model, such a nice piece,
