ok well personally I still think your a bit heavy on that damn chestnut ink! The faces on these are far better than on your last models (was it frodo and aragorn? sorry not sure) they dont look quite as sun tanned. particularly the middle picture in the link is very good. I think the colour on the material looks good but it is a bit shiny. Im not sure what you could do about that, I think its an after effect of using inks or might just be the photo. Perhaps if you highlighted the arm guards and breast plates like the breast plate of the left hand model (url @ bottom) it would give more variety to the model. Also I think you should be looking at doing the blades in the more standard, boltgun/black ink/silver edges kind of way. again just to give a bit more variety to the figure. The overall effect is really good and definately getting better. homepages.paradise.net.nz/~pjenness/rmw/wargames/minis/05_harad/05_harad_0006.jpg |

ok well personally I still think your a bit heavy on that damn chestnut ink! HEHE...thats impossible...you can never be too heavy with chestnut ink.........  The faces on these are far better than on your last models (was it frodo and aragorn? sorry not sure) they dont look quite as sun tanned. particularly the middle picture in the link is very good. Thanks! I think the colour on the material looks good but it is a bit shiny. Im not sure what you could do about that, I think its an after effect of using inks or might just be the photo. You're right...I tried matte spraying it but it didnt help much. May try another coat Perhaps if you highlighted the arm guards and breast plates like the breast plate of the left hand model (url @ bottom) it would give more variety to the model. Good idea. Actually its hard to see here but the pieces in the breastplates are painted red and green randomly to suggest the jewels they use...but it is very hard to see in these photos Also I think you should be looking at doing the blades in the more standard, boltgun/black ink/silver edges kind of way. again just to give a bit more variety to the figure. aha....nope....Harad dont use metal, as its a scarce resource in their country. Their culture and weapons are based on the mumak. Blades and arrow tips are made from the ivory of the mumak. (from LOTR weapons and warfare book) The minis were meant to have blades that looked like blood stained bone......meant to The overall effect is really good and definately getting better. Cheers man!! I appreciate the comments and ideas. -LW |

Painting bone is one of my least favourite things to do. I dont mind when its something like a skeleton but horns or large bones I just cant seem to get it right...
if anyones got any bone painting advice Id be interested to hear it.

I'm busy painting a dwarf mage who's carrying a big bone as a staff - I'll let you know how it turns out!

Hey LW. Try watering down your CN ink so its not so shiney when it drys, you can add more layers to it if need be to build up the ink stain in the creases. And maybey try re-highlighting the areas you ink wash after it drys to give the raised edges that definition back.
All in all looking good.
