Tadhg posted:Who's got two thumbs, doesn't own any pink paint, and has a pot of white that dried up because he's to busy to paint regularly and shake that poo poo up? I did a red wash over silver to give my theme model pink armour as well as her pink cloak. It looks pretty good. E: On a personal note, can we go back a couple of years to a simpler time, when the oath thread wasn't crammed with people with amazing talent?

enri posted:Did anyone specifically use a pink paint?! I used a red wash over a bone basecoat then had a few highlights with the same bone colour later on. I used the Vallejo Model Color pink (the exact name escapes me right now; it might be just "Pink"); it's medium- to light-pink, but very pigment-rich and does good coverage. On my Jurnal model, I was able to get decent highlights & shadows on it using PPP Ryn Flesh and Reaper Red Ink. Summary: VMC Pink may have limited uses, but it's worth picking up, especially if you have, say, a Chaos Helbrute sitting Edit: Okay, just got home; it's VMC 70958 Pink. Works really well with GW's Warlock Purple (or whatever they're calling it now). Dr. Gargunza fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Nov 1, 2013 |

Oath Complete: I'll try and take some better pictures when I get home, but it might be after the cutoff time. Should I edit them into this post, or make a new one? EDIT: Some better pictures added!  Themed Group, the Viktorias box set.  The Viktorias themselves. Decided to paint them up like Vergil and Dante from Devil May Cry.  This Viktoria is also the completion of my conversion for this month.  Taelor is my Jurnal for Breast Cancer Awareness month.  Here are a pair of Objective Markers   And here is my completed Infinity conversion. Signal fucked around with this message at 00:44 on Nov 1, 2013 |

It's actually OK with me if you edit new photos into your original Oath Complete post, if that's all you're doing. In the spreadsheet, I link to your Oath Complete post, and I assume Krushgroove uses my link to find the photos, so that works. The one reason to post a new post is if you're pointing out something that wasn't there before, that I need to put into the spreadsheet. For example, Signal, if you're adding a photo that shows one of your models has some pink, you need to let me know so I can give you 2 points for the Jurnal this month; you can do that by posting a new Oath Complete post, OR by editing your old post and also posting to say "hey I edited my oath complete post to show the Jurnal, please gimme 2 points sir" and then I'll check and do that. The only no-no is editing your Oath Complete post after the midnight deadline, unless I or Krushgroove explicitly tells you to do so.

I must declare OATH FAILED for October. I just got lazy these last few days. (Also, the drat Odalisques are some of the most complicated models to paint I've ever tried... overlapping armor plates, small patches of exposed flesh... yeesh) Anyhow, I plan on saving Da Wales next month.... can I still get the bonus point for pink if I save the wales? I actually have finished the model that has pink on, but no pics. I feel so...empty....

I used Reaper's HD Entrail Pink for my worm's belly. I pretty much have to use paints from the pot for pink and purple (though I can mix with white, as I did, to lighten them with confidence), since I'm colorblind as poo poo. e: Well, either that or ask my fiancee. Which I did when mid-way through painting the (grey) rocks, I ran into the living room to ask if I'd just painted them all pink (I hadn't).

You "count as" finishing the oath of the month you saved, for the purpose of qualifying for the Consistency Bonuses. (The consistency bonuses are extra points everyone gets at the end of the contest, for finishing lots of oaths; 1 point each for finishing three, six, nine, and twelve oaths in the year.) You also can't earn partial points for partially completing an oath. Such is the danger of Oathing Too Much!

 Oath Complete!Quick and dirty again this month: Paymaster and bodyguard, the start of a much bigger unit for my Dogs of War army.   Jurnal gimmick this month is the pink buckler on one of the hauler's backs. Also, never mix a color using white gesso. That stuff is going back into the cabinet of shame.

Oath Complete! First up, the Ryushi ships from Spartan Games. These guys are well-detailed and a drybusher's dream. Not since BFG has there been so much stuff on a starship model.  This next shot is rotated and at a high angle, so you can see the interior hangar deck behind the plastic "forcefield".  Next up, photography hell...white Starfleet ships! There's a load of washing and highlighting on those saucers that the camera completely fails to pick up, alas. I have decals coming to give these bad boys their names and registration numbers. You may have to take my word for it that the saucer radials are inked in.   I'm claiming Themed Group for the Star Trek ships. Is it kosher to claim boxart for the Constitutions if the decals for the markings haven't arrived yet? Either way, the Gettysburg-class was a horror and a half to paint so here's some fluff to claim the one-time background point. Captain Al-Hadir expected to find complete incompetence or rampant dockyard corruption when Starbase 7 sent him to resolve USS Retaliator's runaway construction delays. What he actually found was far worse - there had been no exaggeration in the reports at all, and the fabled wundercruiser was proving a nightmare. The new phasers wouldn't focus their beams properly, the old phasers couldn't draw any power without rupturing their conduits, the shiny next generation warp engines threatened to melt through their shiny new nacelles...except the saucer warp unit, which threatened to melt either down through the primary hull or up through the impulse reactors, depending on their mood and the phase of the local moon. A total lack of commonality of parts with other Constitutions made repairs more art than science. After months of backbreaking work it was a miracle the ship even moved clear of the drydock - and when she cleared the yards and went to warp for the first time without mishap, the ship's (Vulcan) chief engineer wordlessly handed his deputy a 50-credit note to acknowlege his lost bet. He had to take it back later that afternoon when the saucer warp unit fell out of sync and dumped the ship into a wormhole, eventually tossing the Retaliator back out six light-years off course and 2 hours before she left. The Retaliator has precisely one combat engagement to her short record, when she used her tempremental engines to chase down a fleeing Orion fast raider and very melodramatically powered up all her torpedo tubes whilst holding Warp 7. This was enough to scare the pirate into overloading his own engines and exploding. Captain Al-Hadir was very thankful. He is still not sure what would have happened if he had actually given the order to fire.

 Oath Complete  Claiming Detektuv's Jurnal and themed group for my Dreadball team of 4x Guards and 6x Jacks, the Ashworld Thunderorx - named and painted for the most dangerous creature on their world, a pink airborne hunting invertebrate known as the Thunder Squid. Or possibly for my local team.     My showy glowy Yme-Loc army rolls on with a squadron of three War Walkers  gently caress Infinity minis forever what kind of masochist paints these things voluntarily  I tried to box art for both of them but fully understand if it isn't paid, I think I'll sit those on a shelf as a reminder to not buy any more until I'm a million times better at painting  Convergence of Cyriss Cipher heavy Vector

^^^ fantastic! I love the pink-ribbon-and-a-bird-on-his-head guy, I can almost hear his terrible singing just from the pics  Dr. Gargunza posted:I used the Vallejo Model Color pink (the exact name escapes me right now; it might be just "Pink"); it's medium- to light-pink, but very pigment-rich and does good coverage. On my Jurnal model, I was able to get decent highlights & shadows on it using PPP Ryn Flesh and Reaper Red Ink. Vallejo GC Squid Pink was my weapon of choice for this month. I probably didn't need to buy a bottle just for three little mushrooms, but I'm sure I'll find a use for the rest of it someday. Come to think of it, I'm starting a new marine army and haven't decided on a colour scheme for it yet...

Oath Failed. I have only really got as far as the basecoat colours on these 7 models. I was probably ambitious to try for 7 infinity models in 10 days. I have not painted them in such a large batch before and my customary attention to detail when doing these makes it too slow. More than that, I really felt that my painting skills have gotten very rusty (haven't painted since december). Must try harder. I will not oath anything for next month as I am away for work most of the time. But I will try and finish these 7 models over the weekend.

Oath Completed!    http://i.imgur.com/WvVfwhF.jpg (click to see poorly painted pewter boobies!)Time really got away from me this month. I had lots of gutters to clean, cats to put down, and overtime to work. But I wasn't going to fail another oath and pretty much did all three of these figures in the last week. I chose the two women because last month I did a platoon of GIs and needed to do something more feminine. However, aside from practicing some painting techniques I really had no use for either of them. I don't play Malifaux (yet) and when am I going to have a topless French maid on the gaming table? So I really lacked motivation to do them. Also I did them both twice because my first attempts looked like five pounds of dogshit in a three-pound bag. Overall, I'm a lot happier the second time around, even if I did forget to paint the eyes on the maid. Which probably isn't bad because, holy poo poo, look at those eyes on my GI captain.  Anyways, they're done and I enjoyed doing them. I did learn a bit from working on them so that's good. I'm wondering what glass you awesome photographers are using for your minis? I have a D200 with a Tamron 18-50mm (I think) and couldn't get a decent shot. I have a lightbox on order. I don't need to get better glass, do I?  Edit: removed the original photos since they were awful, and I'd feel like a cad for not living up to Leperflesh's expectations of me. Better photos were taken and uploaded instead.

Your biggest issue is that the figures are backlit. You want them lit from the front in order to get a decent shot. Your D200 in macro mode should be able to take amazing shots with any reasonable lens, and the focus seems fine in the second and third photos, so I'm pretty sure your only issue is lighting. Also: put your name in your photo = another point!

Oath Complete I oathed a themed group of 10 High Elf Seaguard-  I was feeling frisky, so I painted 15.  Why all the gems? The Jurnal is their [st]pink[/st] peach unit sashes. Nobody wears pink to a war, not even elves. I'd also oathed the [st]Viktorias[/st] Viktoria of Ashes and Viktoria of Blood-  They're Jurnal'd too, with pink highlights on their awful Skrillex haircuts. I have hosed up the photographing, as usual. The greens on the Seaguard aren't that flat.

 Oath Complete   Does this qualify for Fly Your Flag? Also I'm sure there was something about a themed group when you had 5 models+ of the same squad/army/etc but I can't find mention of it in the OP. Also, Detektuvs Jurnal is the pink hair on one of the sisters. Been messing around with artsy coloured back-lighting. The picture on the banner was bigger, but I made Celestine a bit too big.
