I like this quite a bit. I'm guessing it looks really sharp at 3 feet away (tabletop distance). Up close the layers really stand out, but I'm guessing that given a bit of distance, it blends together and looks aces. The only difference I see between this and the top-tier NMM stuff is blending. You really nailed it. Great job!

Glad you like him! Yeah I think it'd smooth out more from a tabletop view, especially on a bunch of guys, but for the time spent I'd probably prefer freehanding all over them, or maybe headbutting a wall repeatedly.

That little guy felt a bit like a cop-out this month, but I also just finished a 4.5k daemon army for an apocalypse game yesterday (I won!). I had a ton of other stuff getting painted up for that, but I didn't oath it cuz I had no idea if I'd get any of it done in time (I did!).

Now that's what I was going for! Really tasty, I want it on a metal album cover. It makes me so happy to see a chaos android painted up all nice like that (with all due credit to the 'eavy metal scheme, of course).

This month’s theme: Object-Source Lighting! Otherwise known as ‘OSL’, object-source lighting replicates the light cast onto surrounding areas from a light source such as a torch, a screen, a power cell, etc. Think of glowing eyes, a plasma gun, flickering torch, candle, fireball, the inner fire of a demon (Balrog!), and other such things. This is a fun effect to do, watching the glow build up as you work on it. For a tutorial, check out this post or this video!

And remember, the judges will be giving 1 point EACH for the best OSL done this month!

If you don’t want to do this Detektuv’s Jurnal or you just can’t see a way to do it on your chosen model(s), you can do any previous Jurnal to earn 1 point this month (instead of the 2 for doing the December Jurnal), but your Jurnal entry won’t be eligible for points from the judges.

Use the tutorials I linked or just search for more guides - the idea of the Jurnals is to stretch your skills and try new stuff, so give it a try! Worst case, you just paint over your OSL efforts AND you still have practice.

Please Check the December 2013 tab of the spreadsheet, as well as the Bi-Monthly Prizes sheet (for your eligibility for one or two entries in the Themed Group consest), and the One-Time Bonuses sheet (for your one-time bonus credit). I'll do prize drawings for December probably this weekend, on Saturday or Sunday.

Also I am waiting on Judging from thiswayliesmadness for November, and on a substitute 3rd-place entry from Sole.Sushi for November as well. I haven't included November's points in the totals yet.
