Knight Yarry!!

Well guys,

I've never done a lot of painting in my modelling life......I began this yesterday.....It is going to be ready for Euro...

Well the story of this little bugger An idea that Ray gave me....is to do a helmet buried in the ground and that Yarry was escavating/searching for it... =] the nameplate for it is to be '' Helmet Big for knight Yarry ...this is a great sculpt me by Raul Latorre for now only the flesh is ready i had to enlarge the pics a bit cause the fig is a bit small....smaller than the usual 54mm cause he's a hobbit

Now for the groundwork....I tried to do sort of like a pile of soil..the soil that he dug out to search for the helmet....but i think i should do a small area...what do you think?? also i made a scratchbuilt shovel my first scratchbuilt thing i made :D

Any comment and critique is more than welcome...

I love the idea. i think that the flesh looks great. I also like the groundwork. If you let us know, we would have found a shovel for you in that scale.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SAM! I like the guy:-)

Sammy

Keep up the very good work ... would be much nicer though if you clear a bit of groundwork to reveal the helm more and rust it mate, it's metal and if it's a relic surely by now it has become orange [adding much more colour to contrast] and the shovel needs some earth on hux ... cool idea, prosit to Ray for the tip!

I agree with Ivan on all points, especially re more helmet excavation show more of that helmet you moron

Also agree with Brian re shovel..........again you're a moron

Last but not least........you keep getting BETTER & BETTER with every figure you paint!!! That's the spirit we want to see and that's what makes us really proud of our untamed puppy
Flesh looks awesome really!!! Bravu!!!!

Ray

nice work sam the ground work looks good and i agree that what he said ivan about the helmet and the figure looks good to

have to agree with ray, you do keep getting better and better. i also suggest you heed the useful tips given by all

Keep it up Sam....brilliant !!!!

Hey guys,

First of all thx for your comments...much appreciated and will use your advice accordingly

Noel the mix is from this article.....he can PAINT FOR SURE http://www.planetfigure.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12338

U can vary the mix if u want...for a warm tone mix....use some sunny skintone with the 815 basic skintone...also I dnt like using 815 I use beige from andrea its a little bit subtle than the basic skintone for the high highlights only

If u want a cold mix use pure white very diluted for the last high highlights..then wash the face with a mix very diluted...1:12 where the latter number is water mix some 909 vermillion and black AC 26 andrea.....you add the black to the red to get a reddish brown mix...and wash until the desired effect..then move on with the shadows......you can use some dark red from andrea for shadows and some glazes very diluted with violet

That is what I use for my faces of figures.....in these last 2 1/2 years I've been painting, I've experiminting a lot on faces and that's my 2c advice i can give you but heyy that's my WAY there are others...it depends on what style u want but I advise u that you use this mix

Sam =]

P.S. If you need any help just nudge me

It has to be.... LOL
