Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+More with Gore...

Perhaps you should paint them normally with really pale, pale flesh. Perhaps even use a technique I saw on coolminiornot called the "wet t-shirt method" which would look really effectiv on the clothing.

Also, you may want to mess around with your camera settings/angles/distance to try and get some clearer less blurry pics.

@ Sanai; Could you post a link to a mini done w/ that technique?
I'll have better pics up in a few weeks.It pains me too.Right now I'm just putting these up so that my participation is evident.
The cam only has 2 settings. 1=suck 2=suck harder.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Circe & friends.

But sucking is fun in some aspects. I say do the models as you think they would look best, how do ghosts fit into your personality, wettshirt that got my attention. I do mine as shadow people, because that is how they fit into my personality.

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Circe & friends.

Ectoplasm it is then! I view ghosts as like powerful electromagnetic impressions.The burned in residual configurations of those whose passions or agonies were extraordinarily enflamed.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Circe & friends.

Now the questionis how r you going to put brush to model in that fashon.

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Circe & friends.

I'm gonna try the wash method.If I don't like it I'll just redo it.It seems like the most effective way to do it.I may just do watered down versions of normal coloring,tinged with increasing white and then apply a uniform wash.Hopefully it'll come out as the spectral counterpart I'm picturing.
Well...I'd better get to it.

The blurriness does him injustice I promise.
More to come

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

I have that vampire figure but he is missing a arm, I think I used it on another item I had. Wonderful updates look forward to more.

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

More updates soon,I've been hooked on Heroes of might and magic for about a week now .

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

Bad count bad, must paint video games bad.

Kidding I have blood bowl on the xbox and there is alot of times i get stuck playing it for hours. but we are a team and one of us is always painting.

 

[Disciple of Nagash]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

We need those updates! Your models look pretty good but I have to admit that the pics made it hard to pick out.....

 

[Count Lasombra]

Appy-polly-loggies,here are some pics;

I waited a long time for citadel washes and failed to get them twice!
once I ordered from GW,and they cancelled my order and said they were out.Then, I ordered off e-bay and it got lost in the mail
I made my own wash and the result is what you (kinda) see.
They are by no means done,but I thought I'd update.
This next model is Marcus Ventrue(Gabriel Darkblood),I've spent about 6 hours on him so far and I'm not even done basecoating.There is alot of tiny details on this model and I've been taking my time.

I'm loving how he's turning out.
I ordered 50 mantic ghouls yesterday
So I shall soon be churning out the dead.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

I got to say a new camara is what you gotta to ask santa for.

I too have a mantic order coming, gonna be fun painting them. Look forward to seeing what yours turn out like. ok back to my black knights now.

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

I'll have a new cam in about 20 days....a long,long 20 days.
I've seen better pics from phones,IIRC the cam I have now came w/ a complimentary 8-track.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

8 tracks? dude that is bad, so are you going to retake all the photos then.

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Trago.

Yeah,I can't wait to actually.As it stands they are too fuzzy to properly criticise,and constructive feedback is very helpful.I hope you know I was BS'ing about the 8-track thing.
On a sidenote it seems cowpatties and batswarms are synonymous

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+update.

Here's a token pic of my primed Mantic ghouls.

I just got a new cam and I'm still learning to use it.
Here is one of my wolfies.

[Nikos]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh.

The wolf looks really nice. How have you painted the bracelets?

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh.

The bracelets are copper and silver.The whole model still needs to be blackwashed,they will look better then.
For some reason the last 10% of a model seems to take me longer than the first 90%

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh.

It looks really nice your new camara is a much better quaility, (try hard not to get paint on it)

I love the werewolf but cant wait to see you finish him so get to work.

Ghouls what would a vampire player do without them now

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh.

First wave of blood soaked ghouls.These are not even close to done but the flesh was coming along so well I thought I'd share.

[Capt Rubber Ducky]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh flesh.

The ghouls skin's looking great, keep up the good work!

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh flesh.

It is looking good whats your forumla?

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh flesh.

I basecoated with basic skin tone.Then I made a wash using 20% Indian red oxide and 80% 'Lasting Flow'(which is 25% flow aid,25% retarder,50% distilled water)
It's very easy .

 

[Count Lasombra]

RE: Lasombra's World of Darkness.(plog)+Fresh flesh.

Here are some pics of Rexor Invectus,one of my wight kings that I've been working on the past week.Sorry about the lack of a b4 pic,it was during my camera blackout.

I still need to do a little incidental highlighting.and around his neck is a golden chain w/ the gem of blood on it,he is weilding my version of the sword of kings.
