[smudger1960]

Its a great piece of work colin,don't worry about the weathering,just go with what you feel,if it looks good then it is

 

[ChaosCossack]

Thanx a bunch Brian... If I could weather figs the way you do I wouldn't think twice about it. Maybe I should dig out some old figs I painted before and muck 'em up a bit for practice.

Cheers

Looks great Colin - nice drama there.

Nice work, Colin. I really like the steeply sloping base and debris.
It adds a lot of drama and compliments your figure/pose really well.

 

[John Bowery]

Very nice dynamic scene. Well done.

[ChaosCossack]

Brian, Nick and John, thanks so much for your kind supportive words. Encourages me to push myself further on my next attempt.

Cheers

[MarquisMini]

your ground works always add the dramatic effect and scenery to an already great painted figure

 

[ChaosCossack]

Thanks Daniel, that means a lot coming from an accomplished groundsman such as yourself.

Cheers

Colin, that's a fine job in displaying this trooper making his way down the rubble strewn slope.

Excellent brush work throughout, but I agree that a bit of pastel dust on the corpse and debris would give it a more natural look.

Either way, you have a sweet looking piece !

Thanks Joe
I always thought my piece was my sweetest feature lol

I am on deck for a lesson in pastels and weathering pigments at our next club meeting.

Thanks again Joe

Shoot, now you're just bragging !

[ChaosCossack]

You know how it is Joe... if I don't brag about it, then who will?

You know, I kinda expected you to say: "...no brag, just fact!..."

Sadly...

 

[Colin_Fraser]

Colin - is there a formal "lesson" on weathering planned for the 7th or am I bringing pastels and knife.

 

[ChaosCossack]

Oh no, nothing formal. I just wanted to pick your brain about pastels and Alex's regarding pigments made for weathering from the likes of mig.

I have no experience with either medium. A virgin even.
