I like the way you have based the elf and the Ork is bloody awesome mate.

[razhburz]

cheers Tim i use your orks for inspiration ;D

update.




blood looks a bit better IRL though

[Tim C]

Very nice indeed mate, if all your orks end up looking like this then it will be one hell of a unit.

[razhburz]

thanks Tim

here is the base for the elf, I think I'll add some fallen leaves aswell.



thanks,

Andre

[roguetrader]

[razhburz]

Great work mate. The Ork is looking very good (nice dark green) and the elf is looking as if he'll turn out good as well.

Cheers, WOlfie

[roguetrader]

that base is looking good, looks like it will suit the mini jus nice, great start

[mahler]

Hi Andre! I like your minis because it has a personal style, your paint is clean( smooth? ) but you can improve your tecnic changing your color primer, you can try grey primmer and your minis will be betther. Elf have a good base and skin a good tone, in the ork I dislike bloody effect on the sword, you can make it more reallistic with blood splash! Continue improving your skill!! regards!

[razhburz]

Thanks for comments and advice

Never tried anything but black under coat, might give grey a try

here is a minor update:


i have also painted the cloak on the elf, but its a bit cacky happy with it and therefor no pics just yet.

Thanks for looking,

Andre

[mahler]

Tamiya grey primer is recommended for the most important spanish and french painters jajaja

[razhburz]

Thanks for the tip

okay, I have decided to show the bad cloak after all. do you have any tips on what i shall do. start all over again, with another colour maybe?

[mahler]

Not as ire the rest of the scheme of color but I do not see badly completely the cap though the light is a bit unreal, let's say that this painted very games workshop style, you must try to make a zenithal light efect, I try to use a base of red brown, to shade base + black and for lightning adding bestial brown and skullbone white! good luck with this elve!

[mousekiller]

That base is rocking mate, definitely worth the effort you are putting into it.

As for the orc, love the skintone. Can I ask the recipe?

[razhburz]

Thanks for your comments

I am going to put the elf away and paint RAdagast instead, using the base.

As for the skin tone, I found the recipe on one of Tim's posts in the CIN forum. I will try to find it again and link it to you

[razhburz]

ahh here it is. though it was one of mutant potatoes posts.

[razhburz]

I'm working Raddy now

pics deleted sorry.

What do you think so far?

Thanks,

Andre

[Tim C]

He is looking good thus far, I would give him a little bit of red or purple into the flesh tones in the shadowed areas as he looks a little pale at the moment, only a touch in the flesh mix should be ample.
Apply it as a glaze just to the shadowed areas.

[razhburz]

kool thanks for the tip mate

[woodspeed]

very nice as tim said a little red as hes looking a little flushed and now i think the base compliments the model very well

[razhburz]

Thanks IQ

Update:

pics deleted sorry.

personally I think the skin loooks much better now, thanks for the Tip ;D

I sse I have to touch up browns on some places

thanks for looking,

Andre
