André's WIPs

[mutantpotato]

Voted a 9 on both. I think that's what the mini deserves. IMHO this is your best mini to date. You have become much better technically and you have developed a very cool style. Jättebra Andrè!!!

[razhburz]

Okay dokey. not much to show yet but here is what i will be working on:



Thanks for looking,

Andre

[Tim C]

Cool mate, which Mithril mini is that, I really like it?

[razhburz]

Thanks Tim

it is the mithril Witch King.. quite fun to paint

here is wo Wip pics. he is mostly done, though I need to finish the metals and do some waetherring on the cloak.




you might wonder why I have painted his scarf or whatever its called green. the reason for that is: I wanted to break all the blackness of this mini but still have it look evil, so I choosed this sicky green (which also connects it a bit with minas morgul, which is gazing of green light, (or fumes?)

Any C&C are most welcome


Andre

[Tim C]

He is looking really good mate, though I do think the green looks out of place mind you I can't think of another colour that would look any better either.

[razhburz]

Thanks for ye comment buddy

the green is a bit strange, maybe. But it was the best I could come up with.
he is finished now, will post pics soon.

One of my teachers asked if I wanted to paint this mini for him, and I did. I will ask him what he thinks about the green and change it to a colour of his choice if he don't like it.

Andre

[razhburz]

Update: as good as finished. might change a few things though.





Thanks for looking,

That weathering looks great matey. I really want that mini but I have just checked on their site and it is only available by buying the Shadows of Angmar Online speacial edition. Hopefully I will find one on e-bay.

[roguetrader]

looks cool, i quite like the mini, i think the green looks good aswell, great stuff ;D

[razhburz]

Thanks for your comments guys

here is what I have done so far on a CiN ork. I realized now that the pics ain't that good, his skin is much greener IRL. more like it looks on the last pic.





Thanks for looking,

Andre

[roguetrader]

the skin is looking great, nice work so far andre ;D

[razhburz]

Thanks Ian!

here is an update.





PS, the trousers are just undercoated

[chemicalcaveman]

Looking great Razh, really really impressed with the WiP ork and the Witch King is amazing. I really like the green actually! Sets the whole thing off nicely.

[Tim C]

Great ork Razh, you have nailed the skin tone. That Witch King model will be for sail as soon as Mithril get the ok from Tolkien Enterprises which is good news, unless of course I can find one on e-bay.

[razhburz]

Thanks buds

I might buy one of those witch kings for my my own account then

[mutantpotato]

Great work Andrè. The ork is looking fantastic, I love the skin

[razhburz]

cheers mate! glad you liked it

update:





what do you think about the black and white belts? and the thing on his shoulders? I am not to convinced myself.

Also, if you have any suggestions on which coulour i should use on the remaining belts, I'd be happy to know


Yeaterday I was looking for a kool mini for the contest on the Rogue Painters forum. I had just picked up an Empire warrior priest when I saw this guy on a shelf, and though "why not?" so here he is now in an early stage:






Thanks for looking

Andre

[razhburz]

Its time for another update:





sadly one of his swords broke any tips on how to get it back?

C&C are most welcome ;D

Andre

[Tim C]

My you have been a busy bee. That is the Madpuppet Elf if I am not mistaken and it is looking great so far.

[mutantpotato]

Wow Andrè! You paint alot, and fast! I really admire that skill ;D

The elf is looking really good. The skin and cloak is great. The ork is great aswell. The skin, pants and brown leather(?) is looking good. Though I am not so keen on the black/whites

[Tim C]

Just noticed Andre that on the elf's right arm the highlights on the biceps are too abrupt there is too much of the base colour showing but apart from that looking very nice mate.

[razhburz]

Thanks for C&C buds, I do really appreciate it ;D

is it the arm who still got a sword you mean tim? maybe some glazes will help?
Mikkel, do you think the B&W would look better if i dirty them up a bit?

here is the elf again, he is too fun to paint, I can't stop!

is the tunic too light?




Cheers,

Andre

[bruenor]

No it's fine, I like the tunics colour, very leathery, love the cloaks colour too, gonna be a real nice mini once it's done, I can tell.

[chemicalcaveman]

Gah! Your flying through this one mate! I only say the skin this morning, and you have the cloak and tunic already painted up! Looking great so far, everything seems spot on to me.

You know I went away and bought this mini and three of the ganger members from madmuppet when I saw this model this morning. Sometimes its bad to be hanging around sites like this. Leads to impluse purchases!

[Tim C]

No mate it is the arm that has not got the sword, it looks better actually in that pic but you can still see a heavy transition between the dark and lighter tones.
