Blog Nefertem's Painting Blog

Hi there,
Welcome to my painting corner. Hopefully this blog will help me to paint more models regularly .
C&c always welcome.

I'll start with my Skinks


Things to do:
Paint the center spines orange, like on the head,
Add another layer on the weapon to give it a more"bronzey" look,
Finish the shields.

So...
Hope to give an update soon....
Cheers.

 

Don't forget all the jewelry.

 

Looks good so far!

 

Your highliths and shadows are realy good. It's very smoth and vibrant.

 

Thanks a lot...Really cool if you like the Skinks . Continued painting the scales of the spines aka basing them with hull red to paint them orange. I think you need the life span of a Slann to get everything painted.

So long..I'll post more pictures after finishing this step.

 

Looks great keep them coming!!

 

So I finished the red scales on the spines. Will now start painting all the bling-bling as n810 mentioned .
Actually spending some days on holiday preparing 3 rippers and musing about the colour of the shields in general... I'm trying to find a color scheme for the shields that somehow connects the whole army. Nevertheless it shouldn't pop out too much as the lizardmen themselves already are colorful...
Any experiences or suggestions? I was thinking about sandy/earthy colours.
btw: always thankful for correcting spelling/grammar mistakes as I always try to improve my english

I'll post pictures when back at home.

 

Well, it's been quiet a time... Unfortunately I hadn't had much time to paint, and I needed a short break from painting a gazillion skinks at a time. So I switched tooooo:



And another one:



Still not finished but gave me a break. Hope you like him

 

Looks spectacular. He blending is done so well, that shell looks amazing. Brilliant job here.

 

Dammit that is a nice paint job can you let me know what colors you used

 

Of course....I followed a tutorial on YouTube by awaken realms, cool stuff there...
Here's the link:

 

Just a little WIP...
Finished first highlights.



And a second shot:


Not quite sure how to do the wings, so c&c welcome. So long..

 

Looks pretty awesome so far. Do you want to design the wings, or are you thinking highlights and washes?

 

Actually I don't know . But as I want the 'dyls with their orangeish (?) colours to stand out I'll keep the wings smooth and easy, so no design on them. Also I think too much will make the model's look to uneasy. I plan to make the heads blue/green.

 

Then yeah, a wash and some dry brushing dhould be good for the wings. Can't wait to see them completed

 

So... been a whil but I finally managed to finish 60 Skinks cool.

So here's one as an example, finished so far (yes I know... the shield(s) are still under construction)...



and at another angle:



I also nearly finished my Ripperdactyls:



I'll redo the wings (I'll try to make them more skin tone/orange-ish. Unfortunately I messed one up as I didn't recognize I had purple paint on my glove...So sad.

C&C as always welcome!

 

Ripper wings look great as is, very fleshy and realistic. I found the wings on rippers and terradons to be super unforgiving when painting and it looks like you nailed it
