I dont think he emulated, it looks like he pretty much just made a new head and a new sword and stuck it on the previous body.

I don't remember much except it was a girl who did it, and she was selling the guide to doing it on some website. It's done by Jen Haley, who is pretty much an amazing artist. She only used two paints, Walnut Brown and Creamy Ivory, to paint that miniature. Her gallery has some amazing stuff in it, and she has a couple good articles. I also want to mention that that is a Dark Sword Miniature, which is a smallish company that does some really really nice sculpts, and has licensed stuff like Song of Fire and Ice. Also that mouse dude. Ashcans fucked around with this message at 16:58 on Apr 9, 2010 |

Can someone clarify that for me? Im still seeing tone differences (warm and cool) that cant be made with literally just 2 paints. Are you sure its not Walnut Brown, Cream Ivory and white and black?

Yea, I am literally a fumbling retard when it comes to painting theory and stuff, so I can't really help you. This is the blurb that she has for it on her site: quote:This was my third go at a monochrome miniature, a male ranger sculpted by Jeff Grace for Dark Sword and painted for a video tutorial. I like the dynamic pose of this model, and thought he would look interesting in the simple color scheme. RMS Walnut Brown and Creamy Ivory were the only two paints used. I imagine that you could get the full breakdown in the tutorial, but its something you have to pay for from another site and I don't like you that much, PV!

Speaking of monochrome... This has probably already been posted at some point or other but it's an awesome table. Sadly i can't find any better pictures of it right now but it looks amazing in person and it's awesome to play on. And i'd be willing to attribute the hue differences on that mini to photography/adjustment/image compression.

Miles O'Brian posted:Got to admire the skill on that model but I can't say I like the colours at all. It's very well painted but I agree about the colours. If the blue was replaced with white it'd work a lot better for me. But I just like white as a filler colour, so maybe I'm biased.

But if you really think she's that much better, don't worry; she also has Aspergers and was compelled to list all of her medications under the website bio.

Yea, I actually feel kind of bad about mentioning it now, even though she put it in her bio, that's just sort of how people with aspergers are and there wasn't any reason to draw attention to it so; Going back to the subject of Eldar, I am getting done with my Lizardmen and the last couple pages here plus the spearhead have gotten me interested in the idea of repainting all my lovely old Eldar, but I need a new cool scheme for them. Current concepts I am working with:  Pick a number and let me know what you think is best, or pick the secret #5 option for 'your ideas suck' or be nice and suggest better ideas!

Use each of them for different squads. v v Maybe pick a different colour for the soulstones in that case.

You don't think that the Bone/Gold one (3) would be too different from the others? Part of my concept is that the Aspect Warriors would share more colors in common with the main army than is described to try and tie everything back together and create a more coherent look than I currently have. Do you think that its enough to spread these three colors (Bleached Bone, Burnished Gold, and Hawk Turquoise) through the army, or should I try to pick a single color to link everything? I was thinking of using Bleached Bone as the dominant color for everything, and then giving Aspect warriors helmet/accent colors based on their typical scheme - blue for Avengers, Red for Dragons, Green for Scorpions, etc.

Primer problem, I was using GW's White primer and after letting it dry I found multiple places where the primer "cracked" and some fuzzy primer spots as well. Is this all due to humidity? The reason I ask, is because I also primed the base of the model(was seperate) with P3's black primer and had no issues other than it takes longer to dry. Just trying to find out where the flub up I made is at.

If given those colours I would use turquoise, bone and gold in varying patterns and degrees for armour and weapons, purple for cloth and some other colour for eyes and soulstones. I'd maybe give aspect warriors an accent colour if I only had bone and gold as a base. What kind of army are you planning to field? Do you want the colour scheme to indicate that it's a guardian, an avenger, a wraithlord or whatever?

PaintVagrant posted:Id do this, but ditch the red/blue/green ideas, because all of those colors are really bold and will clash like crazy with your current scheme. Id go for something more subtle Just so I'm clear, I would basically be replacing the Turquoise with each color's aspect, not adding it onto the existing three-color combination - so Dragons wouldn't have any turquoise, just the gold/bone/red. You think that would make them clash with the overall force more than bring them together? I'm open to suggestions, I'm not really sure how to make the connection more subtle. chelsea clinton posted:If given those colours I would use turquoise, bone and gold in varying patterns and degrees for armour and weapons, purple for cloth and some other colour for eyes and soulstones. I'd maybe give aspect warriors an accent colour if I only had bone and gold as a base. I'm not sure what would be a good color for lens and soulstones, if not the purple - I feel like green or blue would be too close to the turquoise, so maybe a bright red/orange? I am bad at color theory even with this wheel. My intent here is to repaint all my Eldar into a coherent force, so it includes basically everything - all the aspects, guardians, jetbikes, vypers, wraithlords, the whole hog. My thought was to paint all of the 'militia' in the turquoise/bone/gold scheme (that includes vehicles, wraithlords, guardians - basically everything expect characters, rangers, and Aspects). The Aspect warriors I was intending to paint using bone/gold/varying aspect color, but it seems like that might end up clashing when you see the whole thing. I guess that I could use the same bone/turquoise/gold for all the aspects, because the actual miniatures are very different and might not need that visual differentiation. And Fix, I like the idea of using the more-gold scheme for specific guardians in the units, I could also diversify that to mark the Shuriken cannon jetbikes and a 'lead' walker, its a good idea. Edit: Thank you guys for all the input - if I get tired of working on the Slann you all told me how to paint, I'll try mocking up the scheme on spare Guardians I have around here somewhere.
