I look forward to seeing more on this, I have this mini and I think it is a great sculpt.

[menace]

Excellent looking mini, i wasn't aware of it! Like Tim i look forward to see your progress, the lava is really glowing at the moment!

[razhburz]

It looks very cool so far. very nice lava

looking forward to see this one progress:)


Cheers,

Razh

Added a Prowler of the Abyss from Rakham to my WIPS.

Tim C: Thanks. I can't wait to get more done on him.

Dennis: I think that it is a 5th edition miniature... maybe even fourth. Anyone know for sure?

Rashburz: Thanks. The over all plan will involve some snow and other odd things to have with lava, but that is what chaos is all about isn't it?

[mousekiller]

Bit more done on the Prowler, hope the horns are coming out OK. Also, added an Ettin.

[Tim C]

The Ettin is looking great, also the prowler it is nice to see a change from the usual colours of bluey purple that you find on most Mid Nor minis.

[menace]

Ettin looks almost done to me, not my thing in minis but a solid paint job.... i like your 'shelf of shame' idea, most of us just have a bin of balls-ups!

Might make an interesting thread ;D

[mousekiller]

Did a bit with the cloak of the wood elf, not sure if I am happy with it though. May not be enough contrast.

TimC: Thanks. I come from a warhammer world, so when I paint I tend to do it with that background in mind... so for me the prowler screams Bull Centaur (and a much better one than GW has produced - much more chaotic)...

Jnr: Thanks. Ettin is getting close, just those last details to do... finish the fur (it started as a grey pelt, but I wasn't happy with it), the hands that are hanging below his neck, the belly plate, the fish, the ropes, the wood, the skulls on his belt, his finger and toe nails, his mouth, and his hair...

[mousekiller]

Got a bit more done on the prowler, tried to make his skin a little worse for wear. Also, what do you think of the pool of oil?

[menace]

To be honest i didn't notice it until you mentioned it hard to crit from the photo but at the mo it's lost on a black base, you may need to paint the base a different colour (the edges i mean)

[Tim C]

I am glad you mentioned that jr as I found it hard to see also,

[matty1001]

Not meaning to be a nag, but i wish you did a rolling thread, this is really hard to see the progress from one shot to the next, and all the scrolling gets a bit annoying.
But its all looking great. Love the Ettin!

[mousekiller]

More done on the wood elf lord:

PICS DELETED

Matty1001: How bout a compromise. I will post the old and the updated pic in my response thread so the scrolling won't be necessary. Then, each time I update that particular mini I will go back and delete the old pics from the old thread to keep the post from getting too cluttered with pics. Thanks for the compliments. I am having a lot of fun with the Ettin right now, but I can't decide what color to do the hair...

jnr/TimC: Next update I will try to take some higher elevation pics also, and I will paint the base a dark brown. Thanks.

[razhburz]

the cloak on this one is great! well all of it is

[matty1001]

Ah you made me an offer i can't refuse lol, yea thats cool
I really like the wood elfs sword, and i like his dark sinister look. Good stuff!

[Tim C]

I like the elf the sword looks great

[mminiatures]

Great work-the cloak is so good I didn't notice the equally good sword until I looked for a second time!

[mousekiller]

Did some work on the Elf Lords Bow, his armour, and his skin. I wanted to do the sprite (little monster thing under the tree) in a bluish grey to tie in with the hair, but the more I think about it the more I am thinking that I might do some kind of camouflage type thing (i.e. wherever the sprite is touching he will blend in to that item)... What do you all think?



mminiatures: Thanks.
TimC: Thanks. New technique...
matty1001: Thanks. Not sure if I did the skin justice though...
rashburz: Gratzi...

[Tim C]

Looking good the hair is nicely done. As for the sprite I like the idea of it blending in to the base I think his would fit the wood elf fluff more than the brightly coloured ones you usually see.

[razhburz]

I'm not a big fan of GW's WH elves, but after seeing this one I might change me mind. as allready been said the sword (or is a spear??) is really cool. the grey/whitehair is a very nice contast

I really like your idea of the comouflaged sprite

Keep up the great work mate

[menace]

You have a beautiful 'realistic' harmony going here and perhaps with the sprite you may consider a fantasy juxtaposition, bright blues rather than the camoflage idea... i just think he'd be lost and the contrast of the blues would reinforce the realism of the elf.. skintones look a bit two dimensional at the mo

[mousekiller]

Ok, so a bit of an update on Arbaal. Had some serious issues with him. I bought him off Ebay already put together and primed... well, after I started painting I realized that his jaw was glued on upside down. Fixed that. Then his tail fell off as I was painting him. Fixed that. So, for now the only part that I have been really working on is his rear, to make sure that I like the color scheme that I am looking for. I think this is what I am going to go with.

jnr: Thanks. I am going to go back in and see if I can't do something better with the skin.

[razhburz]

the arbaal looks really cool mate. love the skin on the thing he is riding

[mousekiller]

Ok guys, a little bit more done on the ettin. For some reason, I lost my original passion with him, but I really want to get him done. I think the brown fur is working much better than the grey was though.



Razh: Thanks. Supposed to be what they call a flesh hound, but I see it more as a hell hound, hence the really hot colors.
