The ghouls look good, I like the skin colour and the bones, I suppose that's all you've painted on them...anyway

Manfreds skin's looking great.

Great work as usual, I look forward to the next update.
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Hey hey Jake, an update?! Great stuff man. I love that banner and I can see the ghouls are coming along nicely as well. Keep us all updated with more great work!

Cheers,
Seldom

The lich king is amazing and the glowing eyes effect is very nice, though you could make the inner of the eye even more bright or it's the light of the photograph that makes it seem dark. :)
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Thanks for the compliments and tips!

Whew, I'll have to blow the dust off this plog.

Here's what I got done on my first weekend of having a life in three months! I love not having to finally work on week days AND weekends.

I'm trying to create the feel of just how savage these ghouls are. While I've seen many different colors for the ghouls, it's to my understanding that they look a bit more fierce if they still have the human pigmentation to them. All in all, these buggers are a pain in the ass to paint so I'm anxious to finish all thirty of them and move on!

As always, C&C is greatly appreciated!

All the best,

Jake

wow you lich king is simply amazing Redarmy keep up the great work. OH and I can't wait to see the recipe for that awesome vampire flesh in the next invocation. :thumbsup:
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Great stuff Jake. Love Mannfred's eyes. Simply amazing. The only criticism I have it the mould lines on the guy being attacked by the ghoul. The leg sticking out, the flash goes straight down the leg. Otherwise, great stuff.
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

If it won't come off with a hobby knife, the best thing I've found is a small file. I use a thin, flat metal file, going across the leg following the shape/curves of the leg, and it generally works. Not guaranteed, but worth a shot. The only thing is that is *might* slightly flatten the leg a bit. How much more on this project do you have to do?

Oh it'll be in there. DoN threatened to have his way with me if I didn't get that little nugget in there this time around :D

Jake

I thought the agreement was I would have my way if you did give me the tutorial xd

The ghouls look great though, very feral looking as you wanted, but I stil don't really like the sculpts - I would love to see you paint the Heresy ghouls.
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

wow :| those are looking awesome! the red on the armour looks fantastic, cant wait to see them finished.
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Yes. Wow. you are truly talented at painting. It puts my work to shame ;)

They are looking great. :thumbsup:

Glad to have you back. :)
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Aye boo I know the feeling. You have a fantastic control of your brush red army. I love the drakenhoff banner, almost makes me want to give up on mine almost. The blood knights too look great so I am curious how many golden deamons you have.
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Really nice Jake, reminds me of the work I did on my Blood Knights in my old Plog - they have been stripped now mind you.

Are you entering these in the GB or something else?
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Hey guys,

Thanks for the compliments!

I haven't won any golden daemons; never even been in one of those conests yet, but I may try soon.

Don't give up with your painting! Just keep at. I'm relatively new to the painting hobby but I just practice a lot. Don't be afraid to push your limits.

Nope, these aren't my entry for the golden bat; you'll see him soon!

Jake
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Gearing up to get an army out by July, watch out!

Oooooh, a secret is he xd Well I look very forward to seeing him then Jake. Best of luck for the GB :thumbsup:
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Nos Army out by the 25th of Sept!

I have touch up's to do on the BK's and Mannfred, but we're getting there. Next up is a big unit of GG, wraiths and the corpse cart, along with assorted characters.

Your Manfred is absolutley stunning so far, cant wait to see it finished. Good to have you back :thumbsup:
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Nos Army out by the 25th of Sept!

Stunning, although I'd like a better look at that corpse, I can't quite make out the blue.
Like the fact that the ghouls are fleshy too xD Excellent :thumbsup:
 
RE: Rise of the Lich King - Nos Army out by the 25th of Sept!

Wonderful work, especially enjoyed looking at that Mannfred and those ghouls. Just the way that they all fit together, fighting over a fresh meal is delicious to say the least. Excited to see further additions to this lineup.
