Lysandestolpe Posted June 24, 2018 Author Share Posted June 24, 2018 Painted today guy today, not fully finished. Want to add some light on the lantern and some freehand on the cape (nothing insane, probably just some Sigmar inspired arabesque style abstract doodles) Thanks for looking! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lysandestolpe Posted July 3, 2018 Author Share Posted July 3, 2018 Working on some judicators and finished my Lord Castellant.

Overread Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Love the choice of colours; the very dark edges give them a very "classic fantasy" visual style that reminds me of a lot of book/album covers from the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much! Yeah I started this hobby in the 90s, so I am a huge fan of old-school GW style paintjobs, and artwork from that era and even the 80s like Borris Vallejo, while trying to take a contemporary spin on it. Super stoked you caught on to that! ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super stoked you caught on to that! ???? I think you've captured that era of style fantastically! I often feel that animation through to art the detail and skill has grown in general at large since that era; but we've somewhere along the way lost some of the style and magic that those earlier artists had. Love to see your fully army complete with Endless Spells on the table as I bet that would look a rare treat of fantasy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneyah Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Everything you paint is amazing but I just absolutely love these stormcasts. So, so good it’s unreal. Love your attitude and commitment and am with you with the only better thing to get attention from me is girlfriend/family although I find an occasional blitz on the computer/console gets me motivated back to painting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syph0n Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Awesome as always. Love the horns on the Dracoth. I always do horns the other way around, but they're very striking light to dark points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I tend to do this when the neighboring colors to the "root" of the horns are dark, like on this Black Dracoth. That way you always separate the horns from the more fleshy parts.

Yes that makes sense. I did similar when I did the claws on my Drakespawn. I didn't think carefully enough about the colour scheme in general because I think I would have done grey horns and claws with the underbelly being a similar colour to the claws. I just had to go more extreme with the highlights. You can see with work like yours that not only is the painting first rate, but your decisions are well considered. It all makes a difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davariel Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 Yikes, a single model painted to this standard is exceptional, an entire army... utterly defies comprehension Must just about be the best painted army I've ever seen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the extra couple of highlights do make a difference in those cases. Well worth putting in.

Thanks so much! It has been a long journey and its soon to be done. Very excited for GenCon, NOVA Open, and GT finals this year. I hope to snag some Best Army Trophies ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the hard core follow. I'm trying to challenge myself every time, and to be honest, I felt the Lord Celestant wasn't the best model I've painted so far. But all you guys are being super supportive which is helping me to finish these guys on time. So thanks again for all the likes and comments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
