André's WIPs

[mousekiller]

Solid work Razh. Well done.

[menace]

I love the 'feel' of this mini, it is very much what i expect from myself when painting lotr. There is a certain amount of authenticism which is admirable and to date this is my fave of your minis, your improvement is outstanding

[razhburz]

Cheers mateys ;D Its always nice to get complimenst

I have relized today that I won't have time enough to finish the diorama, instead i'm going to make a smaller one with just the orc, peasant and one or two snotlings. i might also be able to use the squigs in the regiment catagory (if i paint one more squig and two herders).

Any thought or suggestions?

Thanks,

André

[razhburz]

Just an update without pics. I have finished the peasent but I fell a bit fed up with this now so I'll make that diorma another time. CiN Orks (and new comp entry) here I come!

I'll call this thread "Razhburz's WIPs" from now on.

Not a bad idea Andre, sort of skip this at times 'cause i still have the nurgle geezer associated with it! start anew..... 'Razh's ever improving' mini thread!!

[razhburz]

hehe lets hope I keep improving

[mousekiller]

Wow, razh, he is really come a long way since I last checked in. I would suggest just a small, very diluted, brown wash for the axe head but other than that he is amazing.

Keep em coming.

[mminiatures]

Looks great! The muted, realistic colours work really well.

[razhburz]

Thanks guys

Its allready in the GW store so I can't fix the axe now

[razhburz]

I thought I should post this here too, like Tim, since not every one read the CIN forum.


I finally got some more done, though on another mini

I painted this in GW stockholm and tried out the new paints as a base coat on the skin. they work very well and I will probably end off buying them.





this is the first time I try OSL (on te necron eyes)

I will also try to give the blue warpaint the same wash as i did on the skin (DA green and lieche purple)

Thanks for looking. C&C are very welcome


Cheers,

André

Looks good mate I think there needs to be a brighter highlight closer to the eyes and also on the eyes themselves to realy make it stand out. There is a good tutorial on glowing eyes on Cmon I will try and find it and link it to you.

[razhburz]

thanks mate

it is a bit brighter around the eyes but the pic don't show it too well. but i will highlight it a bit more as you suggested ;D

it would be great with a "glowing eye" tutorial

Thanks again,

Andre

[razhburz]

here is a mini I will npot paint right now but I wanted to show it
My teacher asked if I wanted to paint it (what a great teacher ), and I did hehe




Its a Mithril Witch King

[Tim C]

Nice, I thought it were a Mithril mini when i first looked at it and hadn't read all of your post. Teachers were not so kind in my day.

[razhburz]

Okay long time no post in this thread mainly because I haven't had the time to paint

I stiil have not got my hands on a multi positional fluorescent lamp, but I hope this pic will work still, even if its not great.



I still haven't got around to highlight around the eyes, Tim. will do soon

Thanks for looking,

Andre

[Tim C]

Looks really nice mate. If all your orks look this good they will be awesome on the table top.

[razhburz]

Thanks mate Lets keep our fingers crossed, so I can get them all done in time! It feels like time is slipping away

[Tim C]

It certainly is and if I don't get cracking on the Orks again soon I fear that I might not get done either.

[razhburz]

hmm lets hope we can finish it off. I ave kinda the same problem, I am in a really LOTR mood but I "force" myself to paint these first (and the MM entry which I have started to loose interest in (the mini not the contest).)

I have been thinking of batch painting the orks 3 and 3, though trying to get the same standard as the one above. Does batch painting really speed up the painting???

Thanks

[mousekiller]

I am really liking the blue hands... a nice contrast to the green skin.

As far as batch painting goes, this is my take...

if you are motivated on the project it works. For instance, look at the night goblins I have been doing, I do them five at a time and have been getting them done "fairly" quickly. On the other hand, I have been trying to paint my savage orcs three at a time and just can't get motivated to get them done. I get more done on them by picking up one and painting something on it, but the problem is that the other 7 still need the same things painted on them - so in the long run it takes longer, IMO.

[razhburz]

ahh I see, thanks mate. I think I will try to batch paint three of them and see how it works

Now to something a bit different. I felt I needed something new to paint so I ended up starting on this guy. being a bit of a nurgle fan I decided to go for a greenish scheme on the armour, please tell me what you think






Thanks,

Andre

[rogue trader]

looks cool so far, the scratches and nicks look great, try adding some dark brown ink to dirty them up abit and then touch it again with the metallic, the green looks cool aswell. keep it up mate

[roguetrader]

what i said above, forgot to log in lol

[mutantpotato]

Great start andre. Quite different from the other stuff I have seen from you The armour looks very promising. I would suggest adding some darker colours (black, browns) to the metal scratches to make them look a bit more dirty.
