Oh, I don't intend to use purple skin.

I'd go for super-ultra-sexy-hot-pink skin.

I'm going for pale skin...I'd rather not look like a stick of bubble-gum.

why not pale pink?

...Are you seriously trying to get me to paint them pink?

I quite like the purple skin as a base, it'd give the cold undertones (Ugh, now I sound like a makeup artist)

That's not a BAD thing, really! And yeah, the purple is neat, but, not when the armor is purple I feel.

You're supposed to contrast so with purple armor you're supposed to use green skin, obviously.

I'm not making something that appeals to Captain Kirk's fetish for green.

So, update!

While I decided to start from the beginning with my wyches, while they soak in some purple stuff, I started painting up some reavers.

Dude, you should keep those reavers as they are. They're 10/10 already. Absolutely beautiful Twisted Evil

Well, thanks! XD But, I have so much more I'd like to dooooo.

I'm going to give the vents some thermal effect for sure, and I need to fix up a little mistakes here and there, then comes making their custom bases...

Glad to know what I have so far is appealing!

Are you using EoE's stencils on the Reavers? It gets a nice mottled effect that I think is quite nice. It isn't gharish and in your face, but it's enough to make them more interesting than simpler Reavers.

They're nice! I look forward to seeing them with riders 'n' all. Smile

Yes I do!

It's the same I used on the knight, actually. It's bright and unique, and a little "Out there" as said by my room-mate but I like the colors and they aren't very common so...more for me! Gotta do the little gemstones and stuff, touch-up, and then maybe a wash...I'm not sure I'm feeling it on my reavers, my wyches want to keep things clean and vibrant and these don't have many nooks and crannies...

The Reavers are looking good.

Thanks Curst! I think it's a good start!

So, I did some more work and this is my "finished" reaver, decided to do one first and then submit it for critique.

I did edge highlighting, which I normally am against....

All in all, I think the edge highlighting is horrid, both in application and execution...but other than that it looks "okay" not completely happy with the quality of the touch ups.

0/10 I hate it. The other one was just so much better! You ruined it! (This is sarcasm, for those unaware of what that is)

Sybarite Posts : 392 Join date : 2013-03-08

I agree with you, 200%. TOO be fair, my lighting is crappy and my camera makes it look ugly. When in person, it looks just fine. I just never liked edge highlighting because unless something is metalic the edges don't usually shine that much. HOWEVER It's popular because when detailing tiny things, it fools the eye.

I'm going to do up another one tonight and offer it up for a comparison and vote~

Okay, Kora - I hope you realize I was joking. I actually think it's really good even if the lightning isn't great.

Sybarite Posts : 392 Join date : 2013-03-08

I DO know you are being sarcastic. Razz

I do think they look weird with edge highlighting...but then again I didn't snap a picture from a distance usually played at and more real close with a HD camera in bad lighting.

"from a distance usually played at" I think anybody with hands can paint models that look good from 3 - 4 feet away Razz

Sybarite Posts : 392 Join date : 2013-03-08

That isn't helping! XD

Also, here is some better lighting. First 2 is the edge highlighting, second two is with the edge highlighting done with OSL airbrush touchups and a glow effect.

Personally, I like the second reaver.

I really like the first one. However; they're both pretty nice.
