That autarch conversion looks incredible, just amazing! I think I'm gonna steal that idea :p
Haha thanks
~ It is still a WIP and tomorrow will have another release of a prototype. I think the one to be released is considerably better.
I'm actually a little upset that they moved this to the Project's board!
I hope it still gets a lot of attention, because the work here is really well done. I mean, in the Project's board it might not reel in a lot of new viewers. And that would kind of be a shame.
Over 1000 reads btw. =)
Yeah, well originally it started as a painting thread but i kind of got side tracked a little and started posting conversion i had completed.
When i commence painting once again with new test models i will just have 1 post will all the test models showing what i did to create them and put them alone in the painting forum. That way i get to blab on in here and in the painting forum people can get the quick tips without sifting through updates.
Hooray for 1k views
just a question of your Fire Dragon...
where you have laid out the paint colours and ratio for the Fire Dragon Armor, when you did each successive layer, did u completely paint over the layer below, or did you leave thin lines of to make a layering type effect? Did u wait for each layer to dry before applying the next, or did you wet blend?
Thanks
Depends on the weather really ~ it is really hot and dry here in Queensland Australia so ~ typically i prefer to wetblend but honestly i will go around the whole model in a layering technique and slowly move to the outer edges with successive highlights. If i focusing on one particular area : ie ~ colour progression on the Fire Dragon helm, then i (did and prefer ) to wet blend.
Layering is the cheap and easy tabletop illusion of true or wet blending.
Hope this helped
Anyway ~ so for an update.... here it is minus the jetbike council o' doom which is still a WIP (10 plus Autarch ) and the Forgeworld Avatar with spear ( omg at shipping times )
