ValoR's Stuff

[ValoR]

Hi@all
I'm new here and my first post in this forum. I have just started with the VCs and Warhammer. Hope I can learn here a little...looks great.
I have watched your great gallerys here in the Art-Section too and was very inspired by these bunch of cool pics.

My first minature is this Vamp-Lady from AoW. My next ambitions are some ghules or so, but... step by stepp.

I hav spend a whole week (in the evenings^^) with painting this one. Good hobby for those snowy winter days here in GER.

Have fun with it! :Vampire1:

Hello and welcome to the site ValoR, a fellow German here!

Don't just watch the galleries, the painting logs are sometimes even more awesome as you can see a lot of things progress.

Your countess looks awesome, I like the choice of colours and the shading on her - very cute little girl . Generally a very impressive job for your first VC mini. You surely have some experience from painting other stuff. Would you mind sharing what else you have?

Ghouls are generally a good start as they're considered the best of our core choices, although I prefer skellies.

Keep us supplied with more.

Cheers,

Dogmar

Thanks :ghost:

Yeah, I've painted for several years, but only misc miniatures for fun. Or painting digital art like my avatar-pic.
Mostly no real Vampires. Maybe I'can post them in another thread/subforum.

I start now with VC because one of my amigos and his friends is playing WH. Everything began with his birthday-present. A limited Chaos-Genral. I promised to paint it.^^ He gave me some advices to build an army. He also told me the same about the ghules.
I like skeletons too. They have this oldschool athmosphere... but sadly not the best Core-Unit.
So I will start with the ghules. Anyway, soon or later they will be placed in my army.
Next week i hope, i get them and the Armybook.

I'm reflecting what flesh-color they will get...
For the Countess, a sick blue/gray flesh was excelend. The ghules must have anything venomed.

hello Valor, welcome to CN! :konrad:
i too am new here, and from what i feel so far, this forum is the bees knees.. the members are very friendly, funny and helpful
as for your painting, i have to say that if you just showed me that female vamp model without the introduction, i would've swore that it was done by a pro painter.. its sooo clean the blending is seamless and the colors especially the red just pop out beautifully, i hope you have a lot of models to show, if all your models are as good as this one, then you my friend have earned yourself a fan

Greetings, very nice job on the vampiress,I would have done the eyes a different color for contrast.That is a matter of taste though,your painting is excellent.
I look forward to seeing more of your work.
P.S.-it would be easier to view if you used an image host like photo-bucket.

 

[ValoR]

Thanks man!
Have uploaded it with imageshack. Hope it's better. I've made it a little bigger.

Yes. Green or Blue eyes would be also nice.

The Ghoules are now ordered. I will take them in the Painting-Log-Subforum.

Hi Valor, welcome to CN. Very nice job on the vampire. I like that mini, and your palette, especially the skin tone, suits her well. I'm looking forward to seeing your progress on the ghouls.

 

[Nikos]

Capital work on the Vampiress, like everyone says lets see some more of your painting soon

 

[Konrad Von Carstein the Mad]

[Boo]

First of all, welcome to Carpe Noctem and the painting subforums!

Second: Wow, impressive vampire! :O Very nice! The red is a rich deep shade, perfect for vampires. The black is looking great and the skin is beautifully done.

I look forward to seeing more stuff from you!

The Ghoules are now ordered. I will take them in the Painting-Log-Subforum.

If you like, I could move this thread to the paintlog subforum?

 

[ValoR]

Many Thanks to all for your comments and the nice welcome!

@Boo:
Ah no,^^ I will use this thread for my finished minis.
For my upcoming army and the working progress I will make a new thread in the paintlog subforum.
I relay hope the ghoules will arrive sometime this week so i can finally start. :konrad:

 

[Boo]

Cheers mate. then I'll be on the lookout for your new plog

 

[Bravo_10]

Wow...just wow. Your painting skills are phenomenal, and the model looks awesome (got to love the pose; it reminds me of Darth Vader). Welcome to CN, and I hope to see more of your undead horde soon!

[ValoR]

Ok, my ghoules have arrived!
