SR's Project Log "Snake in the grass"

[srsmith]

Ok This log is now a WIP. I have posted a few pictures to start. I need to work on my camera skills. However, most of the pictures are in focus.


I hope to draw such esteemed presences like DeadleyHeadley, SpikeyJames, and Other high falootin' individuals.

C&C please. Let me have it.

[srsmith]

C&C welcome as usual. Please no down right negativity.

I like it, could you post a pictue where you can see his banner? I like the sword, his base is very good and the white robes are nicely done, I'll be watching...

[srsmith]

Blast, well done BT to put mine to shame! I like the banner, no over the top and not to drab - well executed to boot! The base looks fantastic, is that a premade base or is it your own work? Oh and the figure is nicely done too, simple but effective.

[srsmith]

To Scholo: Thanks for the link

@ Phox: thanks for the accolades mate. i'm humbled by your words. He placed second in the local store Competition. The guy who won was a former GW Employee and a phenominal painter to boot. An yes the base is my own work.


More pics of my finished BT to come.

[srsmith]

Ok. Here are some shots of my Emperors Champion. This is the First BT model I painted and have learned a few things since. I desire to re-do him but don't want to until I am finished with the rest of my BT.

Enjoy

C&C welcome.

I like the base it looks good but doesn't take away from your commander.

[Phox]

Could you tell us how you did that base please?

[srsmith]

Base was simple.

Covered a 28mm with Greenstff, smoothed it out with a round pencile shaft. Then cut the lines for stone with a razor blade by slightly wiggeling it side to side. the short lines were a little trick here. then placed the 28mm on top of a 40mmm and used cut pieces of plastic card to represent the tumbled stone around the 28 mm base. I then filled in the areas where there was no GS or PC with GE sand. I mounded some sand around the 28mm base to make it look like it had piled up against the stone floor he is standing on.

Inked the sand with flesh wash (I like the color better than just brown), then heavy dry brush of beastial brown then progressively light dry brushings of Bleached/ Beastial.. bleached, bleached/skull white.

The stone was heavily dry brushed with Fortress grey then I inked the lines black and left some light ink in the indentions. then progesively lighter dry brushes of Codex grey and skull white.

Then I glued the static grass on. I ut some on the stone to show it growing through the cracks.


That is the first time anyone has asked my advice!!!

More Pics...this time Grimaldus.

i tried to change my light source to a "natural" lighting bulb. I think i change the photos a little.






I am going to try and get some better photos some time in the near future

[Luthien]

[schoolcormorant]

Thanks guys the Pic really dsen't do him much justice. I need to get some daylight pics in here.

Scholo- I saw it. I am sending it out after work via fed-ex.

[srsmith]

Ok I just wanted to post My High Marshal




High Marshall Kitty. ON a break from her rigorus "Feater toy" Training.

She is armed with 4 power claws... I have battle scares to prove it.

[Voronwe[MQ]]

Heh, I like when people does that - posting pictures of their dogs or cats and comment it rules-wise.

Good black templars, I must say; though Grimaldus' Crozius Arcanum could be darker - it might look better then.
