Old School here with a quick update on my metal Khorne Khavalry Lord. This is VERY WIP, but I wanted to show where it is at after a couple hours of painting before unleashing the fully painted model.
Having much of the main work and highlighting done on all the reds, it is now time to clean up the brass and then move to the small details like the head, the trophies on the back and highlighting the skulls.
One of the main reasons I am posting this WIP is because I am worried that this is all too much red ... but at the same time, it looks very striking on the table. What do you all think so far?
As always feedback is more than welcome.
really cool
ReplyDeleteI think that once you work more on the bones and skulls and make them brighter and then you wash the bronze and make it shinier it will balance out the Red Bull effect and it will look really, really cool!
ReplyDeleteVery nice progress -- I like the modelling of this guy and the paint scheme is really supporting him well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments guys, this guy will be done really soon.
ReplyDeleteI agree that its too red. I'd like to see a seperation in the reds between jug and rider. Did you base red, highlight, black wash, red wash? I'm thinking go back and pick one to black wash and just leave darker, or pick one to do a purple wash on. Or just do a heavy black wash on the jug near where the rider is just to give a little depth between the two.
ReplyDeleteThe reds might seperate out once you get the details in there too, so I'd really ponder the model before I did anything crazy (like purple wash). The saddle and the stirups will allow you to put a boarder of different color in there. Hard to say. Get some muted contrast in there like blacks and browns.
I really didn't wash a whole lot with this one. I'd rather not make the definition between the two reds by washing either because that will end up making the paintjob harder to highlight and probably look cheap. If I had to, I would just strip and start over - maybe with black armour on the jugger (I hate metallic juggers.) Or maybe quarter the rider's armour with Black Legion colors. I don't really have a GOOD solution to the too much red problem.
ReplyDeleteFor my Juggs i started with a Much much darker red. Then my birgest higlight like scab red...so its all around darker....I thijnk it looks cool...Then i did like Tatoos and designs(like on hellboy) on all the armor of the jug...its pretty bad ass looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks for talking exclusively about your juggers CO. It inspires me to ... change the overall color to black for the jugger.
