Friday, September 28, 2007 Ultra2nd02 Originally uploaded by misterjustin Still not the best photo - as I haven't set up the photo box in awhile - but I'm getting pretty near to finished with this guy. I'm going to set him aside for awhile as I'm a bit burned out with him. The tutorial I wrote for the banner is up on the Relic Forum - Tutorials board. posted by misterjustin @ 1:07 PM 0 Comments Links to this post Saturday, September 15, 2007 Before/After - Ultramarines Standard Bearer 01 Originally uploaded by misterjustin The photo isn't the best but I wanted to give a before/during shot of my standard bearer. There's still a long way to go before he's finished -- not counting the banner -- but I'm quite pleased so far. I added the 2nd Company icon to his leg today as well. The process was identical to the cape... only smaller. There is still some clean-up to be done on it, and lots of highlighting on the blue, but here he is so far... posted by misterjustin @ 4:29 PM 0 Comments Links to this post Friday, September 14, 2007 I've jumped in on another of the Relic painting competitions. This time I think I actually stand a chance. I am very pleased with the colour and highlighting on the red coat, the glowing effect on the green eyes, and the sallow colour of his skin - especially the shading. I used Chinese hexagramatic icons for the wards on the hem of the coat - with weathering to blend the whole thing together. Other than black and white for highlights and shading this is also the first time I've used only three colours on a model. The base leaves a bit to be desired but I haven't gotten motivated enough to do anything about it. I'll post an update when the results are in at the end of the month. Labels: Competition, GW, Imperial Guard posted by misterjustin @ 8:32 PM 0 Comments Links to this post This is probably my most elaborate commission to date. While I have done larger models, with more detail, this was the first full conversion and paint job on commission. I know that I've detailed the model in other posts - but I'll recap here: The wings and all of the weapon arms magnetically attach. You can lift the model by the wings or the lance - although it should, of course, be moved by the base. He has STRIPY PANTS, with which I am very happy. There is freehand on his legs and checks on much of the cloth. This one shipped out this week and, much like my original magnetic general, I'm sad to see it go. The fella I painted this for went to great lengths to find me in order to get this model though and I'm glad I could meet his expectations.
