Is the Deinonychus Centerpiece a valid entry for legendary? I see no Terrain listed in the rules.
Chris Payne
Awesome, thanks!
onepagerules
They'll count as 'large' units.
Ozreus
Great looking minis all! Fantastic work and congrats!
PoodlesWithGuns
Nice!
Foxblood75
Thank you so much! Best tip I have is to print them with helmets.. those faces were rough lol ;) jk.. i guess higher contrast than you think you need? I started by airbrushing all the blues than did all the armor 2nd. if there's something specific you are wondering about, shoot me a pm :)
pedro igayara
Loved your entry! Do you have tips for someone trying your scheme?
Chris Payne
Awesome work guys! For this months contest are the elf bikers large or standard for the unit category? I'm planning on painting 6 up but wondering on how quickly I need to work on them?
Foxblood75
Very Cool! congrats to everyone! :D
Surface Tension
Thanks, with the nmm it's just a case of not being afraid to take the highlights really quite high and getting a feel for where to place them. At least those are the things I've been working on myself :-) Love your piece too BTW
VexenX
Thank you! I really enjoy doing layering by increasing the brightness little by little. Picking a light direction helps a ton.
VexenX
Your minis are great! Any tips on the axe? The lighting reflection looks great!
Victor Vasquez
I love your piece. The way you show depth to the colors is so strong and makes the whole thing come away as having so much depth.
Surface Tension
Nice! Never entered a contest before either - thanks so much everyone :-)
VexenX
Wow, thank you guys! It was my first time submitting for any kind of painting contest!
