Ademo Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 Bit more progress on skin - put some minimal tats on as I didnt want to take away from the belly too much! Not sure on the stripes on the right (his left) arm - too fat? Also started work on some other areasSent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Misfire Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 The skin is looking lovely and smooth, keep up the good work. The tattoo stripes on his arm don't look fat at all, any plans to add more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ok. here comes the nerdy art historian (I strive to be) out: The very interesting notion of creating tattoos as symbols for status, belonings, etc is very applicable here. For example, this giant, is undoubtedly a very unintelligent being, and therefore more likely to become property. I don't know the idea of the fluff here but I think I've heard people mention the same (about ogors atleast). I would play around with ideas, and maybe look into historical tattoos for slave and use them as inspiration for branding your property here. (dark, isn't it?) I think that would really bring out the character in him. We saw what you can do with your orc blood priest, and thus know your level of skill. I would try to see if there is any way you could go back on your paintjob here, and add some texture of scars on his body. I doubt he wouldn't have tasted a few whips in his days among your goblins and ogors. Just a though! Looking great, and I can't wait to see what you do with him!

Ademo Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Great advice@lysandestolpe I will certainly c9nsider how to improve on it - like the scar idea sklo may have a little play when I get the chance next!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 So - after@lysandestolpe mentioned some improvements I went back to the giant and added some scars and angry red areas as well as some bruising. Pretty pleased with how it turned out - any comments welcome!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ademo Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 Thanks! I think I'll also add a tribal tattoo to tie in with the ogors - the maw symbol, probably on the left side (his right).Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackDaw Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Looking great now Ademo - the touches of red angry skin add a lot of depth and character, and the tattoos are wonderfully done. They stand out without overpowering the rest of the model. One thing I would add is some dirt/blood to the sole of his left foot - am I right in thinking he's just stepped on an unfortunate goblin there?

Ademo Posted October 20, 2016 Author Share Posted October 20, 2016 Thanks@JackDaw correct! I have been considering some blood for the blood god but have never used it! Has anyone else?

Ademo Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 99% done! Just need to add some gore to the foot and squashed gobbo!Not the bestvlight but hopefully you get the gistSent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Grot's law - when popping to your local gw in search of a single paint, that paint will of course be the only sold out paint in the shop....Long story short - my pot of blood for the blood god is in the post!

Soulsmith Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Looks awesome nice job. The barrel's wood is really well done, did you paint on the grain lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I sure did! Was fairly quick and easy but I like the effect it gives!Also for those of who are part of the stronghold - would love your support in voting for this army, 'The madcap moonbrew co.' For the tribal warfare contest - http://www.the-stronghold.com/index.php?/topic/29452-tribal-warfare-vote-now/#comment-389942Many thanks - the prize is a destruction battleline unit so fingers crossed!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I thought I'd tack this on here as I don't have enough to start a new thread yet! After months of resisting temptation, we were kindly given some money from relatives with instructions to enjoy ourselves - so what better opportunity to pull the trigger on some new minis!For a long time I've eyed up grand alliance death and particularly the ghostly elemebts or 'nighthaunt' as they are now known! I think this stems from an old 6th ed kemmler list - army of the barrows or something like that, which featured in a white dwarf. Well, the minis are on the way so I thought I'd test out some basing! I wanted to keep some elements that would tie the army to my destruction force but also go more overgrown barrows/deep woods etc. So here is what I have so far - I do have some dead leaves in the post too as I definitely wanted a few elements of decay- fallen trees, leaves, fungi, maybe even some swampy patches in the future.C&C welcome and once I have some minis to show I'll make a new thread!Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
