Sverok painting competition, almost done!

I didn´t do any painting last night on my pice that i will enter in Sveroks painting competition, but I glued the mini to the base today (today´s work: 1 minute, I hard working as you can see). Now, the mini is amlost done, I still have some tuching up to do, and lay my last finger on the base. But still, it shows you roughly how the entry will look like. Feel free to comment and give suggestions, deadline is not untill wednesday.

Untill next time, happy painting!

Last night´s work

This is what I did last night, continued to paint my Grot for the Sverok on line competition I mentioned earlier. I also did the first layer of water effect on the base. To get a break painting Grots and Orks (feels like I have painted something green before...)I continued to work on my test mini for my Mechanithralls. It´s still a lot of work to do, and I´m not sure about the colors but We will se how he turns out when finished. Anyway, let me know what you like or dislike and if you have any tip on improvement, I will be happy.

Untill next time, happy painting!

A breakthrough!

When I decided that I would pick upp painting and (hopfully) wargaming again about 2 years ago, I decided that I would play Orks. I got 3 bikes, a box of boyz and 3 Deffkoptas. Since then my collection have grown and grown...and yet, it wasn´t untill last night I compleated my first mob (yes, every miniatures in the mob!). This first mob was my Grots and Runtherd! Of course I have done som HQ and so, but not a complete mob. Wow, interesting times!

Grots!

I decided to paint some Grots while waiting for my Killa kans to recive (and of course to paint something a little bit different from the big bad Nobz). For my grots I will go for a lighter and more yellow skintone comparing to my Nobz. Or ar least, that´s my plan (at this very moment). I will post a pic on my first test- mini I did last night.

For the skin I used VMC Extra dark green(70896) as a bascecout and then i highlighted it by adding Dark yellow(70978) to my basecoat. I didn´t use any washes on the skin, since I wanted him to be brighter( young and shiny, you know).

But... I have started to think about Grots in the same skintone as my nobz...decisions, decisions, decisions!

Actually, I painted a test- mini. Why don´t you decide wich one I should go for?

For this Grot a stated again with Extra dark green and then added VMC Stone grey(70884). This one is much more similar to my Nobz, but the other one is a nice contrast. Which one should I choose?

Until next time, happy painting!
