finally finished for GDUk, was an absolute barsteward to paint, many many hrs... very happy with it though

 

[Engelus]

seems like nice work, however the background is very distracting

I would go with a more neutral color, maybe a warm gray, and you should lighten up that watermark on the background, its a very good Miniature, but the background makes it very hard to see.

 

[torealis]

it is quite simply, incredible.

 

[Viscount Vash]

Cracking freehand DM really nice to see him/it finished.
Got to agree with Engelus though, the background does detract somewhat from the beautiful scaling on the model.

 

[Slade]

Agreed - kill the background. Apart from that it's an excellent paint job

 

[Jacobite]

:shock: My god - that is brilliant. Thats basically all I need to say.

Great work.

Awesome mini, bad background.

Very nice job on the posing too. Looks like he's about to open up a can of ninja on someones ass.

After various negative feedback on the backgrounds iv been doin recently, iv dropped the outer glow and the reaper in the background, i thought they looked cool, but i think the general consensus is their too 'flashy'. so iv redone the back ground in a simple gradient colour, i want to ask u guys which picture looks better and get general feedback/advice on backgrounds generally. note the original pics were all taken on a white background to make sure the light is reflected as well as poss and for white balancing purposes

Dark blue - matches the dark purple on the lord

Classic blue

 

[Cadian81st]

The second one is just great.

 

[Anphicar]

Awesome man, just great.

You better win!

 

[Darkmessiah]

anyways, the newly edited pics

 

[Engelus]

Gradient == win!

these look absolutely stellar.

 

[DaemonsR'us]

thats just friggen amazing DM :shock:

 

[cccp]

much awesomeness....ill be wanting to see this in the little GD book they sell with WD....

 

[Slade]

definitely the gradient blue to white - much better

 

[Jacobite]

Again with the :shock: , and again :shock: and again :shock:

Can't get enough of this mini dude.

 

[asianavatar]

Awesome man, looks much better with the simplier background. Good work on the blending.

 

[Darkmessiah]

cheers guys, ur comments are appreciated

 

[hephesto]

Absolutely fabolous, you've gone from 'awh my eyes, my eyes' to .......'woow' simply with the change of background!

 

[Bloodhound]

DM, That is truly amazing work. I'm loving every mm of it. Very nice indeed.

Do you mind if I zoink that colour scheme for my local GW painting competition?
I clearly can't do THAT, but just the purple over black? I really like this.
