commission  |

Tuesday, May 8, 2007 A pair of Tier 1 Chimeras to match a Daemonhunter army. These bad boys will transport the Stormtroopers in CancerMan's (Relic forum) army. The freehand was added when the project came in under the allotted time. Overall I'm quite pleased and got the green light today.

This is the first time I've done a squad or unit to a mixed quality. In this case the Inquisitor was painted to the "Tabletop" standard* and the retinue was painted to "Gaming" standard. Shared colours, the excellent bases the client provided, and a unified theme managed to bring these models together though and I'm happy with the results. *Note to self: replace the "tabletop" and "gaming" mumbo-jumbo with "Tier 1" and "Tier 2" -- it's makes just as little sense but it's easier to keep straight.

The piece came in at almost exactly the four hour mark and I'm happy with the results. Between this model and the Vindicare I am also finally feeling a real need to upgrade the lighting I use for photos. A great deal of the layering and highlighting is totally lost in the picture. The red looks passable in the photo - but includes five layers before the final highlight that are largely invisible.

I got to spend an hour working on this one to get the base colours set and give me a better direction for the rest of the work. In this case I was given free reign on colour decisions and plan on doing the armour in a dusty black - some freehand on the cape - and otherwise in what is present. I chose a blue shading on the cape to add some additional depth and make it look a bit cooler. While there is still a lot of clean up to do I am happy with the overall effect and think it will look fantastic with a nice Inquisitorial symbol in the middle of it. I'm rather pleased with how the flesh tones turned out but they're not as sooth as I might like.
