Why don't you post pictures here on the forum first and show us your work. I like the Inheritors and it is always fun to see how others paint them.

How's this for Blitzers?  There's still highlighting and dry-brushing to be done, but I thought this would make for great "Death from Above" types.

WOW!  I wish I could paint half as well.  You say that ain't even finished yet?!?!?  Nice work.

BTW - how did you manage to get those pics posted?  I have some pics of the battle I'm currently fighting and I can't shrink them down enough to be accepted.

Nice, but not good yet.

Some advices:
1. dont use gold and silver metal color on the same gross areas and not at all side by side!!!
2. Use more highlight (or brush). Or simply retrace edges of shapes with contrast same color
3. Black color can be higlighted too.  ;)
4. Complete figure looks better, if you make base with more shapes and colors. It adds to model looks like alive :)

Very good is your shoulder and "knee" pad. but better is do not use black line between red and yellow. I use dark brown. And the bettest is, if you use combinaton of yellow,red and between them you use dark color and very  small light color...

I hope you understand my English  ::)

What I do is open Paint.  From there, I open the pic from wherever I have it saved, use Stretch/Skew to shrink photo, then save photo as .jpg (or .gif) when I have gotten the photo around 100kb (check Attributes after saving to see this property).

Then, post.

Yes, I will now thank you publically Sylvas for lending your brushwork to my pieces.  You have my many accolades.



Raia,

Yes and yes.  I am in awe of the detail overall but I was specifically commenting on the shirt and neck-tie.

That Corsair looks really great Raia. The only complaint from me is that the base does not look as good as the rest of the mini (it's OK but not as good as the paintjob).

The photo isn't bad either. Taking pictures of miniatures is hard and you have done a better job than most people.

Please post some more pictures of your work (and thank you for hosting them at an external link so that I can see them).

I like this corsair very much too - only, isn't there a problem with the eye? It seems not properly placed to me.

But then the rest is great, very good job Raia!  ;D

Base is good, but I took photo (?) on snow and colours is not good, because I had to crop them in Gimp (graphic editor for free). I would take the minis to profesional photograph.
external link - Yes, this is my website about wargaming and for warzone players in CZE is it main site

Yeah, eye is not good. I used for base black color. It was wrong way. Latest model ( I have worked on Greymourn Loader) has brown base color and for eye iris I used light grey/light blue color. When I finished work on it I send  some pics here.

Eye is in the best place what I have founded. Model has deformed face - his "nose" is a little turned on flank.

In greymourn mortat model eyes have been situated too deep in head. And all models dont have a hairs at all, I asked why??

Most likely, this is the "Fallout effect": a bit like a anti-cancer treatment, the harsh conditions on Earth in Mutant Chronicles do not let any room for such a luxury as hair ;o)
I obviously look forward to your posting of more of your wor on the forum!  ;)

I dont understand your sentence, what is "wor" ?! Please explain it.

In fluff has been written, that some lutheran kin has long black hair

Thanks for the translation from tHe_MaN to English Coil ;o)

That was indeed what I meant to say, work ;o)

Wor is most probably the name of one or another unknown Dark Legion creature  :)

Very nice, Raia - I'm particularly impressed with the plaid on the kilt and the beret's band. I like the way my Corsair turned out as well, but it is very simplistic compared to yours...

Raia is first "true painter" on our Warzone gaming scene - be sure that ALL our models looks very simplistic against his  ;)
