Firstly, i think it looks great. But if you want to take it further, then the answer is almost always increasing the contrast. Your oil wash has probably dulled some of the highlights, even though you wiped it off the top bits. You could go back and keep adding highlights. Also, with such a big model, then it makes sense that there is a movement in colour from top to bottom. The whole bottom of the bigature can be darker than the top. But, it looks great right now!

Nessus posted:Should I thin paint-on primer or is that the one where I should just use it more or less as is? It depends how thick it is to start with. Just like regular paint, you want it to cover the plastic but not obscure details. I use Vallejo brush on primer and i always thin it slightly.

Bohemian Nights posted:Maybe everyone have already seen it, but the golden demon winners for adepticon are out It is amazing. I wonder if the illusion of the reflection holds from other angles or only directly on as it is photographed. I’d also like to know more about the composition. In particular the posing of the banshee which seems a bit odd with her back to the vamp. Incredible though.

Virtual Russian posted:Art contests involving high levels of skill aren't judged on flaws. Flaws will count against you extremely heavily, to the point of essentially being disqualifing. It is far more likely they are judging concept and execution. Basically, what was the artist's original concept, and how do all the elements of design and painting support that concept. I don’t follow it closely, but there has been quite a bit of debate about the judging approach to golden demons in the past few years. They don’t judge on flaws, because as you say, anything with an obvious flaw wouldn’t get that far. But there has been criticism that the judges are overly concerned with technical perfection at the expense of concept and design. (For a while there was apparently a critique that you had to paint in the eavy metal style to win, but that was probably never true and certainly isn’t now.) The slayer winner this year is a triumph of realising a unique concept by creating an illusion of a reflection in a pond. I would love to see it in person as I struggle to believe that the illusion holds all the way around the model. But people are saying it does.

I saw a thread of criticism where people were complaining that the vampire armour suit was a scan and print. "Why couldn't he just use another copy of the model and scratch out the head and arms? This is cheating. etc". People who apparently have never noticed that things are reversed in a reflection.

Southern Heel posted:Next army is Night Goblins. I want a lime green skin on them, over a black undercoat since I'm likely to drybrush their robes a dark grey. Is there any way to do this in one coat of something, or am I best off going with white and then a bright contrast paint? (this is for 10mm scale so I'm all about speed and efficiency) Lime green over black sounds tricky with contrast paint. As I understand it you would need to get in a strong zenithal eg by heavily dry brushing white on the skin first. I’d be interested to see some test minis.

The only question remaining is whether nebalebadingdong shrinks himself or the models. Shrinking himself would be more economical on the paints. I assume the ray gun works equally well to grow back up to full size.

If these minis are hard plastic, then the seams or mould lines should scrape off pretty easily with the blunt side of a knife. It’s easier and better than using a file.

gameraMan posted:That's what's great about the new oath thread! Just oath one month, fail, and re-oath the next ;-) Seconding this. I’ve been oathing and failing like mad over the past twelve months. It still had the effect of motivating even through that loving horde of beastie boys who i thought id never finish. Also if you dont want to swear to paint, you can oath your gluing! Or swear to open a box on the pile of shame and think about doing something! Or anything really. There is no kink shaming in the new oath thread.
