Title: My first finished Fubarnii - Commander Brenar Post by: clam on April 12, 2011, 01:24:38 pm Can tell how many times I've started painting my Empire's - but never ever finished a single one, yet. Always ended up in a bucket of crystal soap before actually finishing it.
I'm have some degree of colour blindness, so cant visualise, how colours go together - so do it quite mathematically. Some of my test scheme was simply boring painting even if the worked visually - other tests fail under the critical eyes of my wife. But this one got her approval - and as it was fun painting, too - I might actually have found myself a colour scheme :D I started with Brenar, because I love painting characters, but also because I needed an entry for a Danish online painting challenge, with the theme: "do a 'general'". Commander Brenar (http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/cl_clam/Twilight/Brenar_1_small.jpg)(http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y81/cl_clam/Twilight/Brenar_2_small.jpg) And yes, he hasn't got his shields - but I'm awaiting the new supplement shields Mike has done - so hopefully it will show up before long. So what do you think? Not 100% true to fluff, but that's me (for those familiar with my previous works). I hardly ever paint things (apart from historian's) as they where described. I see this tribe here - as coming from a desert world. It's probably the caravan/trader approach that makes me see them more as nomads/arabs.

It almost seems a shame that he'll have a shield which will cover some of the painting. I especially like the flesh colour, what colours did you use?
Title: Re: My first finished Fubarnii - Commander Brenar Post by: clam on April 12, 2011, 02:07:57 pm Thanks :)
For the skin I used a base coat of VMC830 German Fieldgrey - and than started adding VMC884 Stone grey to it. Final highlight is Stone grey with a very small amount of pure white.

Nice work on this lil' chap The metals are nice too Title: Re: My first finished Fubarnii - Commander Brenar Post by: Emberbreeze on April 12, 2011, 03:05:02 pm Excellent! I'm now looking forward to seeing a unit of militia to go with him.

I echo the sentiments on the skin colour - very nice. I do need to hurry some shields out to you now! Title: Re: My first finished Fubarnii - Commander Brenar Post by: clam on April 12, 2011, 07:48:52 pm Have a like 150 colours i various shades of green, grey, browns, reds and blues - all in the same natural colour shade - so I really wanted something a bit more spicy for these. I usually describe World of Twilight as a weird fantasy setting - so why not use weird colours :)
But glad it wasn't an all thumbs down, here - so thanks guys. Should inspire me to do some core soldiers. And no need to rush Mike - like Geclkilian said - would almost be a shame hiding him behind a shield :) |
