Finished wight king with drakenhof banner!

[Vlad Von Carstien]

Hey some of you may have seen my Wight king model from the alternate Wight king thread. Well I finished him and I think he looks awesome. :mrgreen: any advice on what I could do better?

Well I get the privilege of being the first to congratulate on a lovely piece of work you did there. The colors are very nice and the banner is excellent! You did a fine job of creating your own unique Wight King and presented him on a fine base. Excellent work!

I'm not sure if it's the lighting in the photo or what, is there highlighting on the purple robes?

Great job bud, give yourself a pat on the back!

Keep your brush moving,

That is a nicely done Wight King, I must say. The banner looks quite nice, and he loops appropriately aged.

A very distinctive piece. The conversion work on that banner is excellent and the paint job isn't bad either. Great work.

I think it looks awesome, but since you asked I have something that can improve the overall look a bit: I think it looks a bit dark and all the colours have a similar feel (the purples, blues and metal), so a spot colour might help make the model a bit more interesting. In case you don't know, a spot colour is normally the third main colour on the model, something applied in very small amounts that acts as a contrast to the rest of the model.
Perhaps you could try with some very subtle details of bright gold (or even yellow if you're bold). I'd advice you to be very selective about where you want to apply this though as you can easily end up with too much.

Brilliant looking conversion. Is the skeleton painted onto the banner actually becoming 3d with his hand? The entire thing looks fantastic.

 

[Tall]

That is an inspiring conversion, and a really impressive paint job. My only "niggle" would be the photo's are a bit dark and don't do it the justice it so rightly deserves, but this isn't anything to do with the fantastic job you've done.

Now where did that spare banner and skellie go.....

That's a great looking model! As for advice for improvements, remove the mold lines (this is a pet peeve of mine!).

Fantastic looking wight king! Although if I were to suggest improvements, I'd echo Dark Sheep's sentiments about the colors being a little on the dark side. I also find that the purple on the back of the model looks a little flat but that might just be the lighting. Other than that, there's nothing else I can add...

Again, great work and thanks for sharing!

He looks great, I really like the guy coming out of the banner.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

Fantastic work Nice conversion and the paintjob is very dark and atmospheric. The only criticism is the flash / mold lines.

 

[Craken]

Love the coversion

 

[Xaret]

The conversion is good, excellent even. But that banner is one of the best I've ever seen. Seriously the whole painted skeleton with the skull and hands coming out of the model. The detial on the banner is also excellent.

Wow. Just... Wow

 

[Nikos]

That banner is really stunning. Great stuff.

 

[Danceman]

One of the best VC models I've seen. Great painting but what sets it apart is the modelling, the banner in particular.

 

[Santawraith]

My favorite part of this model is the banner itself but really the whole model is great, reminds me I really need to post my screaming banner. Again repeating what has been said before the conversion and modeling job on this one is top notch.

 

[Vlad Von Carstien]

thanks and I would like to see that a screaming banner sounds cool.

The conversion is very neatly done and i love the muted colors you used on this piece. Awesome

 

[Vlad Von Carstien]

Thanks I tried to give off more of a dusty ghoastly look.
