NMM Grey knight part 5 !

Hey guys and girls some more progress made on the grey knight, i really didn't think that it would turn out as well as it has so far, i need to improve some areas, glazing to improve the contrast and some parts just need to be more tidy. I have learn't a hell of alot whilst painting the nmm and have to say that the most important thing really is to have the maximum amount of contrast, secondly is the positioning of the white highlights this will be the direct reflection of light. I think you could probably get away with not being so tidy as long as these elements are in place, say if you wanted to paint an army for example. and no im not going to do that i would have to be crazy.

Next will be the base that i still have not started it will be an industrial vibe i think. I don't think i've ever painted a model an not had the base finished before starting to paint.  more on that soon
hope you like it so far any advice or comments would be cool.
peace bd

NMM Madness! Grey knight part 4

Hey guys and girls more progress on the grey knight, i must say i am surprising myself i didn't expect it to turn out as well as it is. Ive taken a little break and moved on to the sword for now as staring at all them shades of grey in my wet palette was starting to drive me crazy. i decided to paint the sword in an energy field style again some of you might remember the grey knight i painted a few years ago its the same deal maybe a little different, any who the sword is not finished yet it still needs work. hope you like it guys more soon.
peace

GREY KNIGHT NMM PART 3

Hey guys I've done some more work on the grey knight I'm starting to get into the swing of things now its becoming easyer to paint the nmm as I'm learning more and more as i go. Head and torso are now finished. next is on to the arms then sword. i really must build a base for it as i haven't even given that a thought yet. hope you like. comments most welcome. or advice.
peace out!

NMM Grey knight W.I.P part 2

Hey guys painted some more of the grey knight,  i finised the silver on the legs in a previous session this time i worked on the nmm gold. It turned out ok im happy enough with it.
the gold was a simple colour recipe just snakebite leather white and glaze black into the shadows for the maximum contrast that is very important for nmm painting. also i found that its very important were the final highlight goes as this is the direct reflection of light. The whole thing could be a bit smoother but at this stage im still learning and trying to get everything in the right place first.
Next i will attack the torso.
more very soon
peace out!!!!!

NMM grey knight.

Hey guys hope your all good.
                                              Lately ive been studying NMM painting as its something ive always liked but never tried so i decided to finally give it a shot.
i spent many many hours studying others work on cmon and learning the theory behind it, the way light affects metal objects and all that brain melting stuff thats hard to get your head around but it seams to have payed off as im very pleased with what ive done so far.
anyone have any tips or suggestions/comments on what else i could improve on?
this was from my first session  about 4 hours work. i plan to do more tonight.
peace

peace

MOTIVATION & Blightking 2

Good evening fellow brush lickers, ive recently been away from painting for a little while I haven't felt motivated to paint nor felt the urge. I thought a lot about ''motivation '' during my time off and for me personally I think just being plain tired from work is enough for me, I work around 11 hours a day this time of year and normally get up at 5.45am which sucks but it must be done. i've  noticed that this time last year on my blog there is also not much happening so I put it down to that.

The next thing about motivation that I concluded was pressure !! pressure to paint to a high standard and expectations of other people and myself to paint to a high standard, but what I came to realise is that this is not always possible with the free time I have probably 10 hours max a week painting time if im not tired out. and im not sure that its all that important now.
Im not one to drop names but its like roman from massive voodoo is always saying  about ''happy painting'' and I was confused about this for a long time but recently I have realised what it really means to just have fun don't worry to much about standards or opinions its my hobby at the end of the day not my job. it takes a massive amount of time and effort to paint a mini for golden demon for example probably for me about 4 months just working on one mini which can drive me crazy and bring the motivation way down for other projects. Its hard work painting like this so I plan from now on to enjoy my painting and not just try and excel on every model I paint.

So with that all said ive just finished the second blightking  yes painted for FUN not to impress others or push myself just plain old fun!
it took about 7 hours to finish it.

Fun is good motivation!!!

Oh and blightking 3 is on the way.
peace ,have fun

blightking no.2

Hello guys blight king no2 is under way, a more heroic (if nurgle can be heroic?) pose this time atop a large rock
The painting will start soon. this time I plan to paint it in warmer putrid tones a good contrast and vibe to the previous cold dead blight king I named glom flyborn . I haven't chose a name for this one yet I will have to wait until the paint brings it to life to decide.
More very soon
peace.
