More orange elves

Mostly just a bunch of Wip photos tonight. I'm generally pretty happy with how the elves are coming along and the client seems very satisfied with the photos, so I suppose its working out.

I will say that the Scibor bases are certainly epic. Actually a tad hard to work with, but awesome in appearance. If nothing else this army is really going to stand out.

Working on the arcanist and Eiryss 2 tonight. They're actually closing in on finished, but its getting a bit later, so its time to finish up finish up for the night.

On another note I bought a tablet the other day. Wow does that make this blog thing easier!

Orange retribution

So I'm doing a commission for a friend as well and he is very keen on a bright orange Ret army. I don't mean a strong earthy orange, he wants bright and punchy.

Long story short? Trying to balance a color that intense is not the most enjoyable exercise I've done. I think I've managed it though, at least on the casters. I was done a favor with the bases he chose - they are large enough to have a significant balancing factor of their own.

Overall I'm really happy with the effect. Against all my better judgement I actually think it worked!

These were also the first things I tried airbrushing. The faces on the bases have all been airbrushed.

Erebus


Malice


Death-chicken



And a quick WIP update on the other guys.

WIP on the jacks

So the warjacks are still progressing. I haven't taken a photo of all at this point but there are two death chickens, Erebus, Malice and Nightmare.

Still very happy with how the two-brush blending is going. I can see that getting better. Yet to add glow effects to these guys though.
