today was a chilly night, played a lot of computer game banana stuff with the other two monkeys Roman and Robert :)
But anyway i managed to finish my Dark Eldar Jetbike i bought yesterday.
It was a real joy to paint and the new Kits are really awesome!
Hmmm what else, i finished a looooong time wip thingy that was standing in my work in progress cabinet....
It's a gretchin that captured an imperial Sentinel, now you can imagine that he's THE NEW BOSS!
I also finished a little Gift for Tre... i used some weird colors, but i somehow like it ;)
Also i took some new pictures of "The benighted Temple"
I took some photos for Roman too, so you will see more minis tommorow :)
Oh and here's a wip of my Saxon Warrior:
The iced water gets hard right now on his base, i think in 1-2 days you'll see a picture with the base :)
He's still not finished... i want to make him pretty good, so i still have to invest some time...
Hope you have a good night ooooor a good morning when you're reading this!
Cheers,
Raffa
That level of output is very romanesque of you!
ReplyDeleteAwesome stuff, I really love the new eldar bikes, have not seen them before.
Of course great paintjob, but I guess you already figured that by yourself Mr. Slayersword... :D
Could you give a quick rundown of how you did the jetbike? That is exactly the style in which I want to do mine but with a slightly more purple hue to the red. I love how textured and atmospheric it looks. Amazing work.

Nice work Raffa. Especially the Jetbike looks great even that i usully don`t like sience fiction stuff... but what interests me is, how you did paint the scratchings in the front? Is it that weathering effect with salt, wich you have discribed on max paint long time ago?
ReplyDeletehold the line,

Hey,
ReplyDeletethe weathering was made with a blister sponge and then detailed with the brush (bring in some structure and logic).
I added black shadows to the scratches and some highlights underneath.
The scratch color is chaos black+scorched brown+uniform grey (andrea color).
In the end i used some burned umber oil color to add some "rust lines".
The other colors are pretty obvious:
Red:
Blood Red
Chaos Black
Dwarf Flesh
Skull White+Dwarf Flesh
And GameColor Sepia Ink in the shadows
Beige:
Bleached Bone
GameColor Sepia Ink
A little Chaos Black + Sepia Ink for the deepest shadows
Skull White for highlights
Gold:
Tins Bitz
GameColor Gold
AirColor Silver
Cheers,
Raffa
Your "The benighted Temple" is inspiring! How did you do the cape (painting and sculpting)?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your work!
Hey,
ReplyDeletethe cape was already like this, i didn't sculpt anything :)
This is one of the Space Hulk terminators.
Cheers,
Raffa
Damn Cool Stuff!! I especially like the weathered jetbike.
ReplyDeletereally love the jetbike, especially since i saw you painting it in the Games Workshop - it's really fascinating just how fast you create these beautiful miniatures
ReplyDeletecheers, alex(hoping to see you paint some more fantastic stuff in the store^^)
