Title: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Lost Egg on September 07, 2017, 09:51:00 am Hi all,
I have finally managed to paint up the first of the WoT minis I picked up at Salute this year, yay! Behold the Elroga... (https://i.imgur.com/lMZuxBV.jpg) This little lady was fun to paint. I got the scheme from a loovar from Zelda Phantom Hourglass which my son and I have been playing a lot of fairly recently. For anyone who doesn't know a loovar is a medium sized fish you can catch when sailing at sea. I fancied using this colour combo as its quite striking. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints...

I'm sure he'll bring your engu good fortune. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Lost Egg on September 12, 2017, 09:42:16 pm :D Thanks! :D
Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Kryptovidicus on September 24, 2017, 08:38:44 pm A striking vivid colourscheme. I would have put a pupil in that eye though, just to make him look more alive

I have another Twilight critter to show... (https://i.imgur.com/3tQ24RA.jpg) No idea where the colour combo came from I just had an urge to use that green with black. It felt like it was missing something so I gave her a red stripe to Jazz things up...maybe it will help her run faster :D Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: The Slann on September 25, 2017, 07:24:08 pm neat :)
I like your schemes. After my brief trip to eldar I'll come back to these :) Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Kryptovidicus on September 25, 2017, 09:07:01 pm The red stripe makes it look like a tropical bird of a fish and totally makes sense to me.
A great paintjob you did on him, alien and at the same time familiar. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Lost Egg on September 26, 2017, 07:57:16 pm Thanks guys :D
It will be the Yartain next. I still fancy making an Engu dwelling but we will (hopefully) be moving soon so that's likely gunna have to wait a while. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Kryptovidicus on September 27, 2017, 08:12:48 am An Engu dwelling sounds like a great project.
Will it be a longhouse or more something like a Yurt? Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Lost Egg on September 27, 2017, 01:39:33 pm I was thinking of a lone tower on the rocks much like the little sketch Mike did. Though making a small coastal scene would be very cool I don't have the time or a place to show it off.
I do quite like the idea of making a small fishing vessel too but that's gunna be much more involved. Behold...the Yartain... (https://i.imgur.com/9H2T6Gt.jpg) I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I based my painting of this guy on the old Star Wars Wompa toy :D Apart from the initial coat and wash this guy was painted in a single night, I don't think I've painted something so quickly for ages. Before I started my plan was very hazy but once I started it just flowed so well. I'm definitely happy with how he turned out. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Carcharoth on September 27, 2017, 08:16:18 pm He looks scary! Awesome :)
Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Lost Egg on September 28, 2017, 05:13:36 pm Thanks Mike, I couldn't resist blooding him up. :D
I must say the rest of the Yartain family look very cool and the jenta look very cute. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Kryptovidicus on September 28, 2017, 07:55:05 pm He's like a big angry polar bear

How did you manage to get the fresh red blood around his beak? Fantastic painting! Title: Re: Lost Egg paints... Post by: Lost Egg on October 02, 2017, 08:12:11 pm Thanks guys :D
Kryptovidicus - I used the GW paint Blood for the Blood God (though Tamiya Clear Red works better). I popped a bit around the model then mixed some with Abaddon Black then kinda glooped it into the centre of the bloody bit. Title: Re: Lost Egg paints...
