Description Welllll finally Jordan's posting minis back up!!!!

Yup yup, well anyways. Some information.

Son's of the Celestial Dragon: Space Marine DIY Chapter.

Been working on these 5 guys for the past...oh I should say 3 months. Lots of detail work on them, I swear to effing god. (Free handing dragon head iconography is a bitch among other things....)

Pics of individuals will be posted in due time...soon.

I like your Son's of the Celestial Dragon, they remind me of my own Arcana Chapter.

In a few minutes I'll upload some pics in my gallery.

Btw. the second marine is my favourite.
It's very difficult to paint white, but you did a great job!

Thank you for the comment and fav. And I saw your gallery, striking resemblance.

And yes, the white is difficult but, to me, worth the effort. heh. And your Marines look outstanding. Some larger pics might do them more justice though.

Well, there's no accounting for good taste, I think .

Thank you very much - Unfortunetly my mobilephone camera doesn't allow a higher resolution, but I added a WIP pic to my scratchbook, which was made with a digital camera of a friend.

Maybe in time I'll get another digicam to show you the finished work in a higher resolution, too.

VERY nice. I love how you manage to fit in so much detail through painting alone despite a relatively simple color scheme! Awesome.

r0xAsTheNoboDy [2008-10-06 15:40:42 +0000 UTC]

awesome ^_^!

one thing though, the metal parts need to be worked, more glazes and highlights might bring it to the quality of the rest of the miniature.

still, my jaw have droped . 5* work, congrats

Kufspawn In reply to r0xAsTheNoboDy [2008-10-07 04:18:14 +0000 UTC]

Yeah the metallics are a bit semi flat, but that was what I kind of was hitting. But I think maybe a wash and a burnish gold with white mix for a highlight might do some good.

r0xAsTheNoboDy In reply to Kufspawn [2008-10-07 10:06:28 +0000 UTC]

if you still want to improve the metals, take about 7/10 glazes of black/blue and re-highlight with boltgun metal.

Kufspawn In reply to r0xAsTheNoboDy [2008-10-07 14:27:27 +0000 UTC]

Oooh the gun metals I thought you meant the gold. Ok I ll try that but I think BGM is too dark for the metallic sheen I m trying to hit.

r0xAsTheNoboDy In reply to Kufspawn [2008-10-07 15:18:01 +0000 UTC]



also, the black parts need more highlight, not in the traditional edge highlight, but more at lightsource styled highligh, if you know what i mean
