Scar_hand Painting (Nazroth) Gallery/Tutorials

[Nazroth]

Hi all,

I was drawn to Infinity in December 2014. Choose Nomads as a starting army and jumped right into the whirlwind of gaming with my friens. Painting Infinity is a lot of fun and seeing all the great miniatures in the web both motivated and pushed me deeper into evolving my skills. Here's some of my Nomads, hope you like these:






I will post some miniatures here in the topic each month. If you like my works you can see more at Scar_hand Painting Blog along with some tutorials and colour recipees. There's also a Scar_hand Facebook account if you like to see some Work in Progress pictures.


Best regards,

Cool stuff. What did you use for the interventor holo?

[Neatpete]

Nice stuff! I do find te back ground of the boxes distracting from your work but the figs look sweet.

[Claudius Sol]

I like the mini's and the terrain!

Good job!

[Nazroth]

Hi guys,

Thanks to all of you. Nothing motivates me more than good appraisal.

el_presidente: I've used a piece of plastic cola bottle. After painting double sided holo fragments i've washed all with Coelia Greenshade (GW) and then with Gloss Varnish so it regained transparency.

Neatpete: Sorry for the pictures mate. I know they're a bit chaotic with all the background. This year i took an enormous step forward when it comes to pictures and comission painting. I was strongly motivated by Infinity players in my toppic on official forum. Some of them suggested that i should go full pro (open to foreign comissions) and i actually did just that. About two weeks ago i've ordered a new no-shadow tent to make professional pictures, with all the stuff needed (lamps, etc) and now new photos look like this:

So only WIP's are made on my workbench. From now on i will continue to upload new styled photos after each Infinity comission (or my own models). Just can't wait to take first pictures of Infinity - but i have to end a comission first

Here's the Fusiliers last WIP - hope to finish ASAP, cause models are awesome:

[Nazroth]

Hi guys (and gals).

I've finished painting Fusiliers yesterday. After around 150 unsuccessful attemts to take a right pictures i've managed to produce these (which i know are not exactly correct but it's all i can do using available equipment). Hope you'll still like these:

These were painted at level (from left to right): five, four, improoved three and three.








I was also able to take couple snap-shots of my own miniatures. These should look much less chaotic:




The Iguana was painted as the first Infinity model i layed my hands on. Back then it was rather try/fail/recover with how i wanted my Nomads to look and how red behaved when applied. Rest of Nomads are much younger and as the colour scheme evolved red became more juicy.

I will be delighted if Fusiliers Comission ends up with an Infinity Pano army painted at level five. It will certainly overshadow my own miniatures, especially as i just love new Panoceania miniatures.

Regards,

[el_presidente]

pics look a lot better with the new backgrounds! I like the color you chose for the nomad weapons.

I know what you mean about red, it can be a tricky sometimes.

[Aikuchi]

Amazing!
Great colorschemes and I realy dig the bases.

[Maxvon_d]

Yeah, like Aikuchi said, love those bases.

Great looking minis all round. I particularly like the colour choice on the Nomads

[VisOne]

Hmmmm I had not even noticed your bases before because those boxes in the background made it such a mess.

They are exceptionally well done bases.

[Nazroth]

Thanks guys

I'm in the middle of a process of building a Blog, where i could consolidate all the tutorials and (maybe) interresting stuff like colour schemes of my doing. blog is already online but adding content will take time. I've already uploaded a Tutorial for the Bases tho!
Here's the link: http://scarhandpainting.blogspot.com/20 ... bases.html

[Nazroth]

Hello there fellow Infinity players, i'm back and not without some progress,

Here's what i'm in the middle of:


So there's a unit of special equipped Alguaciles and two Jaguars. There would also be a third Jaguar but i still await my latest purchase to come over as i would like to field a link of three with two panzerfausts. The rest of these would probably be used to make some Moran Masai Hunters and other models as they look pretty awesome and it would be a waste to just keep them locked in a box.

I'm pretty busy lately. A lot of comissions coming in due to a blog, a lot of topics on differenf forums and ebay (which is going crazy good). I started to paint my own miniatures in preparation for two major Infinity comissions: Yu Jing and Aleph with a total of 34 models. Two different painting levels and two totally new colour schemes so i'll try to make new tutorials or at least new colour recipees to share here and on my blog.




I don't know if any of you happens to be a fan of Malifaux but i'm also doing this right now (just awaiting delivery od custom made bases to finish this comission):


It's good to paint my own stuff once in a while Hope you like it,

[Maxvon_d]

Lovely stuff

[Nazroth]

Allright, the models are ready.




While painting these miniatures i used the opportunity to create a Step-by-step painting guide of how to paint their Red Armour.
TUTORIAL: PAINTING INFINITY NOMAD RED ARMOUR

Hope you'll find it useful

Hi guys,

Today i finished painting Infinity Yu Jing lvl 3,5 comission, here are some pictures:




You can find more pictures in my Blog's gallery: GALLERY: INFINITY YU JING
There's also a Recipee Article with paint lists and hints for RED, Weapons, Pants and Blue: COLOUR RECIPEES: INFINITY YU JING

Please let me know what you think

I like the red and white, but the tan just seems to blend in too well for my tastes. Not enough neutral contrast. I would've painted the tans in black or white, perhaps. Grey, even, would have been my choice. The tan and red (plus the very brown basing) gives an overall too warm feeling. The blue is good as a cool accent, but the warm-ness is very overpowering. Of course, if this was a commission, then you didn't have full control over the palette. The weapons, at the least, could've stood to not be tan.

[Nazroth]

Thanks for pointing this out. It is a very good advice indeed.

[Nazroth]

Here's what i'm currently occupied with:


Aleph has some really nice miniatures out there

[Nazroth]

Hey guys,

I've been working really hard on this one. ALEPH is finally ready! Must say that both the concept and painting were really cool, still the latter was rather difficult. Here's a sneak peek:


(I AM UNABLE TO TAKE PROPER PHOTOS OF WHITE! )

COMPLETE ALEPH GALLERY MAY BE FOUND HERE

And yet another micro wave of Nomads miniatures... i know - boooring... 4 life!

(Morther of dragons bitc2's!)



COMPLETE NOMADS GALLERY MAY BE FOUND HERE

The day i'll buy a camera with uber macro zoom will be a day when i'll make like a thousand pictures with it... and probably die exhausted...

Hope you like these miniatures

[Nazroth]

Hi guys,

August gallery is complete and may be found here

Here's what to expect:

[grampyseer]

I love your work. Well done. Do you have tutorials posted anywhere?

[Nazroth]

I love your work. Well done. Do you have tutorials posted anywhere?

Hi and thanks,
Some tutorials may be found here: SCAR_HAND PAINTING TUTORIALS
Unfortunately Malifaux Miniatures are so individual that i was unable to write a tut or even colour recipee. It was a totally one time paintjob, then reset and forget. Aleph in the other hand was based on the same techniques and colour recipees i use for other Infinity Miniatures. After your question i wrote a complete Colour Recipee and posted it on my blog:

COLOUR RECIPEES: INFINITY ALEPH

Hope it'll be useful

Hi all,

September was a bit difficult for me, still i was able to paint some miniatures.
Here's a link to FULL SEPTEMBER GALLERY ON SCAR_HAND PAINTING BLOG and a small preview:

[Nazroth]

I hope that you will like my latest project - it took a lot of time and work to achieve it
You can find much more pictures and close-ups here: 'LONE SENTRY' GALLERY at SCAR_HAND PAINTING

Hello guys,

New painting tutorial "Five Layers Technique" has been published on Scar_hand Painting blog today.

A small preview: "Five Layers Technique is a basic technique of choosing and applying colours. I especially reccomend it for begginers as it is simple, easy to learn, fast and rewarding. You can apply almost every colour using this technique and achieve good results as long as you choose proper paints to do so. It is especially good for either painting entire army 'tabbletop level' or preparing a miniature for much more complex paintjob...."



Regards,

[schoon]

Nice little tutorial! As you say - great for good results with basic painting.

Second 'Special Project' in 2015! It was emerging between my thoughts once in a while for some time before I was finally motivated to work on it. The crucial point for me was to accidentally bump into an online Painting Contest at Data-Sphere forum. I already had the concept and materials to make this piece so an opportunity for a nice competition was the final push I needed.

This time I choose a Nomad miniature as a centerpiece of the Diorama. It is my favorite faction in Infinity the Game. You can read more about this project's creation and see some Work in Progress pictures in "NOMAD SOUL" SPECIAL PROJECT post. I hope you like it.

Hey guys,

Just before the Christmas is a good time to clean up and organize a hobby workbench. A new TUTORIAL contaning 10 TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HOBBY SPACE ORGANIZED has just appeared at Scar_hand Painting Blog.

Also I would like to show a Work in Progress of a project I'm currently involved in

[Nazroth]

And it is done:






I've tested some new colours at these - bright green being one of them and I think it suplements this colour scheme pretty nice.
