Post by: Svennn on August 05, 2012, 06:25:02 PM: Nice one. I wanted to scroll down and see the reverse just to see if the fleur was repeated.
Title: Re: my first crossover miniatures paintjob- défenseur
Post by: styx on August 05, 2012, 07:21:33 PM: Yea, that fleur was amazing, great work there! If that is repeated on the back I want to see a shot also! This needs to go on the gallery I talked about!

Post by: styx on August 31, 2012, 05:30:24 PM: I have to ask, did you paint by eye or did you sketch it out on a pencil or lightly with a paint brush first?
Title: Re: My crossover paintjobs- UPDATED 30th Aug défenseur rear, shield, hydra
Post by: fairoaks024 on August 31, 2012, 07:17:02 PM: hi Styx,

i paint it on with slightly thinned black paint, just starting with a simple black 'v' in the middle, then it's really just a series of thin straight lines and a beak.

once the design looks right it gets a second coat to darken it up. any mistakes are then overpainted in white to tidy them up.

hope that helps

regards

I usually do a fair job, then some turn out like Jap Anime characters with large round eyes and huge pupils!

If you want to make eyes easily, try using a Micron pen to put the pupils in instead of a brush. Much easier!
Title: Re: My crossover paintjobs- UPDATED 30th Aug défenseur rear, shield, hydra
Post by: obsidian3d on August 31, 2012, 10:49:30 PM: Good suggestion. I'll give it a try next time!

I keep hearing this idea but I never get over to the pens to buy them at the hobby store....I hear a .05 or something is good...
