Heya all and welcome back! After taking my sweet ass time painting this dude, I am finally done with him!
The other part that requires a great amount of blending are the tabards and cloth, for I essentially blended seven layers (or maybe eight, I do not remember) of a mix of purple, bone and white. The tough part is to blend the cloth so that it has creases and texture. I am rather happy with the blending as it is a different kind of purple that I have decided to use here rather than my usual maroon-ish purple.
The gems are annoying as they are quite small to paint, but I managed to pull it off. The skulls are also quite a feat as I decided to try a different method to paint them, and I am happy with the result. To let the piece pop a little more, I decided that all ropes are to be painted a bright red.
Overall, this is perhaps one of my most favourite models to model and paint throughout my entire 40k life.
I have also decided to start upon making my first display board, as my Dark Eldar deserves it. In addition I also find that having my own display board also allow me to have a model tray of sorts. For that I have already drawn the basic idea of what I want the board to look like.
Ur......which way am I supposed to go again? |
I am also wondering if I want to make some Eldar Wraithbone-like structures on the hills to show that the world is Eldar in origin, and would definitely be a theme tie-up with the Vyper wreck on one of my Razorwing fighter's base. Would definitely be interesting to see what else I could come up with.
All ze foams......perhaps I bought too much. |
With that, I will be embarking upon my first terrain project and I am really looking forward to see the final result. See ya next time!
Cool Crisis_Vyper, where did you get the foam and foam cutter?
ReplyDeleteHeya MrChaos, I got the foam and foam cutter from Art Friend a.k.a the art store in Midvalley. These days,it is my main stop for all my art supplies. Close to my house, and they have a lot of things that other art stores don't have.
