Good work, Baker San.

Not going to lie, i have painted stuff just so i could take a picture and see it end up in the mosaic.

Whoever had this idea originally is a genius.
Also thank you bakersan, you're always very thoughtful.

Boobs are shaped like spheres.

>>98453372
I understand the new is old aspect of 40k design, but I think gw does a poor job of keeping the anachronisms at the same level. most of the guard aesthetic is ww2, but then the vehicles are like 80% ww1, except for the aircraft which are vietnam. it's like if you had a 12th century crusader and give him a futuristic laser sword that's cool, but if you give him a bronze age hoplite shield then it just looks confused.

>>98454920
actually they're shaped like bags of sand

>>98454912
Work small and gradually. Sometimes you can sand and carve but for the most part epoxy is an additive process, so learn how to blend. Probably the most overlooked thing is good light and magnification.

That requires contrast paint, drybrushing as a first step predates slapchop, newfag.

>>98455370
You should try using those glazes that supposedely give the same effect as contrast-type paints lmao

>>98455370
There is 0 point at all to drybrushing as a first step if you are just going to layer. At least with a zenithal you can use it as a rough guide for light placement.

>>98455368
just google it? It's like a major subgenre. I'm surprised there are people who are unaware of it.

nta but i drybrush after priming because it makes it easier for me to see all the different parts of the model easier for basecoating. if a model is primed all black it can be harder to tell what's a belt buckle or not, for example
>>98455387
also this, even if they're not contrast paints, acrylic paints aren't 100% opaque especially with a first coat

Just finished this dude from the scouts Kill Team. It was also my first time ever using regular acrylics with a wet palette instead of contrast/speedpaints (I used a couple of those as base) and it was quite fun. I didn't really bother with many highlights and it's a far cry from what is usually posted here but i'm very happy with the result and I think it already looks better than most of the stuff I've painted with speedpaints.
I just gotta apply a couple of decals now but I'm gonna get some Micro Set - Micro Sol first.

>>98455572
Looks good, but the spectral highlight in the foreground looks to be from a lightsouce too near to the objects for the scale. Pull it back a little and lower the ambient light a couple of notches to soften the effect of the backlighting and take the blue out of the midground overhead light. It's too cool for the background wall color.

>>98455676
That looks great, look the contrast and material differencec

>>98455695
It's all just lit with a single default HDRI right now. The plan when I'm ready is to dim that a bit and then light the scenes with intentional lights and keep the HDRI as a sort of baseline to add some interest to reflections.

Honestly I literally just eyeball it
I start by dividing the round kneepads in halves or quarters with thin white lines, then kept adding parallel lines, trying to keep the distance about the same

if you're painting over larger (and brightly coloured) areas like knight's shields and such you can use a thin pencil over gloss varnish to lay down a grid before filling it with your paints

Yeah, the yellow was Averland Sunset and I struggled a bit with its consistency but I kinda dig the rougher effect I ended up with. I'm kind of a lazy painter and I didn't feel like highlighting every nook and cranny.
And yes, Imperial Fists! I'm kinda nervous about trying out decals but I've consoomed a bunch of YT tutorials so I'm feeling kinda confident.

Basecoating with yellow can be a hassle
If you're going to paint a lot of imperial fists and don't want to bother too much, using a white or bone primer and imperial fists yellow contrast paint produces a good result

alternatively, painting with a beige color as a base coat before going with yellow works pretty good too

averland sunset is usually my go-to as well, for a yellow it has pretty good coverage

>>98455862 >>98455880
Fren, listen, the guy modeled the whole thing himself, showed us the models in progress and discussed the process and programs he was using with me, an expert myself, it's not ai, it's 3d modeling work, he's good and it's quality stuff, enjoy it. We're all artists here so we should have fun with that. If you want to do that you are welcome, but if you just want to throw around insults take a break and come back when you feel better.

>>98455941
Those look really good. The yellow work great with the caramel colored fur

>>98455790
because it's all the same model, dumbass
it makes less sense for it to be AI if it's consistent like that, it's a real 3D model.

but please, go ahead and double, triple, and quadruple down on how you're right and everyone else is wrong, guy who just got here.
