Summer '15 Entries [Data-Sphere Painting Campaign]

[dlfleetw]

Might I suggest a warm accent color? Yellow or Orange, perhaps?

I am debating on how to do the glowy bits, a bright yellow might work with the greens I've got going right now.

Going to do some tests for that and edge highlights as well. Then it is on to a Remote for Mayacast.

[Claudius Sol]

Here is where I am at the moment...
Unsure whether to add or to leave as is...

That's some heavy contrast. I'd suggest doing more smooth transitions via blending to ease on the sudden change in color. I'd also add in more contrasting color. The blue is nice but is not visible from the front and is well hidden from the back. Consider adding LED lighting and whatnot in a similar blue for contrast.

Let us know how it goes! Good on you for participating in Mayacast's contest, as well! I, myself, am not quite at the level where I think I could compete for that reasonably without dropping a lot of current projects I'm working on.

Here's a WIP of Tarik. Worried about finishing on time because life...

You still have a month and a half to go! Take your time! No need to rush!

You mean half a month I presume?
I thought the deadline is 30th of april?

Truth.

Is it supposed to end in May and voting conclude in June?

Oh dear. That's an error on my part! I was off by a month!

The current season ends MAY 31ST.

I will correct that bit in the topic post.

[Quase]

?
Bwahahahahaaaaa
Ok that more than takes the pressure away.
Going to give my entry a wee bit if a rest for a week or two. Should be enough to see some new inspirations popping up for the painting scheme, and I will be able to paint with a lot less stress

By the way, who else was stressing his way to the end-of-april deadline like me?

[volt_ron]

OOOOH MAY 31st, in that case I should be able to finish it haha

[Claudius Sol]

I'm really very sorry for that! I'm normally a bit more fastidious about dates.

[Mistake Not]

I wasn't stressing about this campaign even though I don't even have a model to enter yet but, well, circumstances.
The extended (sort of) time limit does give me more time to actually get something done.. I want to do at least a little better than last time, when I posted a model I wasn't quite happy with 20 minutes before the deadline.

Might even drop out if I feel like it, I've kind of stopped playing Infinity anyway..

[Cosmic_Entity]

Hey folks, I'm guessing a Vet Kazak counts if Ajax does?

[Claudius Sol]

Yes, the Vet Kazak will count!

Good luck!

:lol:

Sorry to hear that. I hope you'll enter as well as continue to play Infinity.

I'm thinking about entering (and actually getting my mini done ).

Would a Hac Tao count towards the Heavy Infantry theme?

I'm in as well, with one of my favorites: the (old) MULTI Rifle Hac Tao.

The date is thursday April 2nd.

I'm in with a Hac Tao, so yes.
Hac Tao is as HI as HI can get

[Claudius Sol]

As ibanezmark says, the Hac Tao is just fine, drogmir!

drogmir, do you have a "before" picture?

[ToadChild]

I'm losing two weeks (last week and this week) between starting a new job and family visiting from out of town. It's great seeing everyone else making progress, though; I'm pumped to get back into things next week!

[drogmir]

As ibanezmark says, the Hac Tao is just fine, drogmir!

drogmir, do you have a "before" picture?

Yup, here we go.



Fresh in the packet and everything, hopefully I can get around to actually doing something with him.

Hi everyone,

I was hoping to enter this big guy into the mix.

He's already got a primer of black.

Nice, a second Anathematic! I look forward to seeing how yours ends up differing from mine.

[Kenza]

Tere's some pretty cool stuff in here so far. I really need to continue, but my job has been more exhaustong an stressful than usual in the last few weeks. Planning on getting some painting done this weekend though. I'll post new pictures here on how i tried to fix the airbrush mishap from last time.

Welcome to the forums, firstly!
I hope you enjoy your time here with us.

The Anathematic is a perfectly fine entry! Welcome to the campaign!

Do you have any ideas on a color scheme?

[saturatedFat]

All painted up

[Kenza]

Whoa, already painted? Now I'm startin' to feel the pressure.

Great colour combination. I like that orange a lot!!!

[volt_ron]

Nice! Great color combo!

Now that the deadline is the end of May, my Tarik should be done by then!

[Claudius Sol]

Your style is always so interesting. The armor looks almost like painted brushed steel.

Pretty good blending and highlighting!

Since you finished this one so quick, are you going to try and do up another?

[saturatedFat]

Thanks! I started April 2nd, but was too lazy to post the before picture until now. And yup I have the Mobile Brigada all lined up to do next. Pretty excited to get back to painting some Nomads after a long stretch of PanO.

Also this thread with the work in progress pictures is pretty inspiring. Makes me want to get an airbrush.
