Iron Painter Season 3 Round 5 WIP

[vincegamer]

I've tossed my first idea, which was going to be a space marine ripping the head off of a genestealer.

Instead I'm going to use this one, with my own modifications of course.

So far I have only just begun the base and chopped up her right arm. I'll take pics and get them up this weekend.

[cdukino]

I picked out a new miniature too. I'm gonna restart this evening and I'm all fired up. I'm gonna paint one of the Rackham Kelt giants.

This one: http://www.rpgmall.com/images/Mini/RKHBASP03.jpg

No conversions from me this time. Well save the filing the axe to something more sharp and terrifying then a plank ;)

[vincegamer]

Does that guy have his back hair in a pony tail? GROSS!

[Ritual]

Cindy, have you vacuumed your work space! ;)

[cdukino]

Does that guy have his back hair in a pony tail? GROSS!

Well he is gonna get the reminants of the guy who made that comment earlier all over him... so be carefull what you say ;)

[LavronYor]

Maybe that is his tail....

And yes i vacuumed and dusted the place. None of the wierd rought surface now so far.

[LavronYor]

thanks, Cindy.....

[vincegamer]

Got a fair amount of hacking done last night. Pics are in the gallery.

[vincegamer]

haven't seen anything from Cindy yet.
Can it be she's embarrassed?

[supervike]

Maybe she likes to lay the smack down at the last minute!

[cdukino]

No... not embarrassed... just forgot to take pictures.

Uploaded them now. One of Judas. This picture was taken at the point where is started to go wrong though the most of the strange lumpy dust isn't embedded in the paint yet. Just so you can see I wasn't whining about work lost which I hadn't done ;)

Also I uploaded the giant for as far as i got him now (picture taken 5 minutes ago). The paint at his boots is still wet.

[vincegamer]

Oh, I see, painting during the day while others of us have real jobs (that we are ignoring while we read the forums)

[cdukino]

Well as far as half past eight in the evening is during the day. I AM in the Netherlands you know... I already had my full day at work done :P I'm just a die hard... work AND paint... not at the same time unfortunatly.

[vincegamer]

D'oh!
I forgot you were in the land of leaky dykes and wooden shoes!
(I had a friend from the Hague in high school who used to love to tell small children about life in the Netherlands, how you all wore wooden shoes so you could walk on the water when the dykes burst, and how you didn't have TVs or VCRs....)

[vincegamer]

More photos for you to ponder!

[cdukino]

Been adding some blood.... hmm. It's pretty fun to do eventhough I'm not a gore lover....

hmmm....so far for planned subtlety...

Came out more realistic looking then initially planned too. But I'm keeping it that way.

[vincegamer]

I haven't gotten to the blood yet. I want to go outside for that and it's been raining.

I have made progress as you can see in the gallery.
It now has some paint!

[Hinton]

As much as I dread the answer, why exactly do you need to go outside to get to the blood?

(visions of a run-down shack with victims chained to the walls dancing in my head)

[vincegamer]

Nothing nearly so greusome.

No, I just want to stipple/splatter the red, and I don't want to risk getting ink on the walls.

Oh, and I bought some of that Tamiya Clear Red, and since they had it I also bought some of that Tamiya Smoke everyone raves about.
Can I use any brush? and do I need anything special to clean the brush?

[Malebolgia]

An old brush is recommended because the stuff is thick (almost like syrup). Using water to wash out the brush works good. I also thin it with water, but this is different than with regular paint, so I'd try it out first on a tester miniature.
When doing blood, another great technique is the stippling way. Take an old brush, cut off 2/3 of the length of the hairs and dip this in the TCR+black mix. Let this dry for 10 seconds and then stipple it on the surface. This gives a good impression of splattering. Works well on blades and stuff like that.

[vincegamer]

TCR + black mix? Regular black acrylic?

[supervike]

I used my regular brush, but really cleaned it after using it.

For god's sake, don't if you are a brush licker, DON'T while using TCR.

[matty1001]

D'oh!
I forgot you were in the land of leaky dykes


LMFAO! HAHAHAHAHA! A dyke is slang round these parts and that is a very funny sentence (If you have a dirty mind lol)

[matty1001]

TCR + black mix? Regular black acrylic?

Yep, i always mix mine with Citadel or VMC black. Then I add a couple of drops of water to give it a longer drying time. It goes very jelly like.

[vincegamer]

Is interest dying in this? Where's all the banter?
Where are more photos from Cindy? I'm guessing she's crying over the mess that is her entry.

[cdukino]

haha... no not crying. In fact I don't want to discourage you by the cheer brilliance of my finished entry... yes... it's true. ;)

[supervike]

Oh, no...Interest in not dying at all!

I try to stay away from looking at the WIP pics....I just want to be surprised at the end!

[Frustrated Father]

Ya'll suck.

See, the smack is back.

[vincegamer]

haha... no not crying. In fact I don't want to discourage you by the cheer brilliance of my finished entry... yes... it's true. ;)"Cheer brilliance"??

You're not supposed to put your mini in the laundry. And putting it in the dryer afterwards won't make it any smaller.

[LavronYor]

Is interest dying in this?

What interest, some of us are just waiting for the next round.....

[Ritual]

We need a gallery for the final! If Cindy is done she needs somewhere to post her photos.

[cdukino]

Well I am still working on taking a picture (the fig is a bitch to photograph with the weapong held before him. My dept of field is being screwed up. But I'm getting there. Also I want to try one of those fancy backgrounds like wyrd has. I have some time for that.

[LavronYor]

Look out Vince, the fancy background is going to kick your a$$. No forgetting to crop the photo like last round.....

[vincegamer]

I cropped that photo. Unfortunately the base was as wide as my background so there was no way to quickly eliminate the extra.

[Malebolgia]

Well I am still working on taking a picture (the fig is a bitch to photograph with the weapong held before him. My dept of field is being screwed up. But I'm getting there. Also I want to try one of those fancy backgrounds like wyrd has. I have some time for that.

It helps a lot to take a picture from a longer distance away. That way, the camera won't focus on small parts, but it will focus on the whole miniature itself. And with your camera I assume you have more than enough MP to compensate for the smaller picture.

[cdukino]

WIP no more. I posted my entry.

[LavronYor]

Wow, vince, the guantlet has been thrown....

now get out there and make all of us guys proud..... IRON MAN....

[lizcam]

:-( Where are the pics for this round? I've been looking and looking but my blond hair is in my eyes and I just can't see 'em! Help please!

[Frustrated Father]

Hah - love the blonde comment (sorry).

http://wyrd-games.net/photopost/showgallery.php?cat=525

Right on down there as the 5th and final round under Iron Painter. Easy was as well to find the latest pictures is to go to the gallery and down at the bottom it'll show you the last few pictures and comments that have been posted.

[lizcam]

Hah - love the blonde comment (sorry).

Hey, I figure if you're going to ask a question like that and you're blond it's best to own up to your blondness! Otherwise people just look at you wierd.:bounce:

[Malebolgia]

Okay this is bizarre...in a good way :D

Last night I actually dreamt of the finals of Iron Painter 3. I dreamt that Vince had won the finals with a great piece. The scene he made was a highway scene where a huge sign post with neon lights that had been hacked down. It was laying on the ground and the last of its green neon light was "bleeding" (in OSL) over the ground as if it was dying.

Coolest dream I have had in months :D.

[vincegamer]

sure, NOW you give me the idea.

[Frustrated Father]

Hah. I'd be more worried that he's dreaming about you Vince.

:bounce:

[callumrice]

Yes, strange. Dreaming about other men? Not something I do often..

(honest)

[Duende]

this is bizarre...in a good way

I dreamt that Vince had ... a great piece. .. he made ... a huge .. post ....

Coolest dream I have had in months .

Where Sigmund Freud? I think Mal may be envious.... :D

[Malebolgia]

You sure are into certain parts of man Michelle...silly woman :rofl:

[Hinton]

You sure are into certain parts of man Michelle...silly woman :rofl:

Yeah, she almost seems to be obssessed or something. I wonder if she's going through some kind of a dry spell. :laugh:

[vincegamer]

Well, it's up. We'll see how many points humor can garner.

[supervike]

No sense in waiting for the official deadline, since our contestants have pulled through already.

It's to the judging now!!

[Duende]

Mal, I was just pulling out the key points of your vince-dream. This was your head, not mine!

@ Hinton - What some call "obsession", others would only call "having a healthy appreciation for". I'd like to think I appreciate some things. :D

BTW, my votes and comments are in. Good luck Cindy and Vince!

[vincegamer]

The suspense is killing me.
I check like every hour to see if there are more comments.
I can't take it any more!
AAAAAAaaaaaaaaa

[cdukino]

I know the feeling ;)

[supervike]

Three of the four ballots are in.

I will not tell you whose is missing.

That would be very FRUSTRATING to this person, especially with FATHERS day coming up.

[Ritual]

Are you accusing me, Jim? :motz:





Oh.... never mind.... I get it now.... clever....

[LavronYor]

So we do our daily ritual of looking to the sky and wonder about the queasey feeling in our duodenum. Hmmm, what is taking so long....
hmm... who is noticeably absent.....

BTW,

thanks vikey, I have to remember to get a card in the mail.

[Frustrated Father]

I'll get to it tonight - been busy.

[supervike]

I'll get to it tonight - been busy.

Oh, it was you? I didn't realize that!!

Actually, we traditionally haven't required the votes until Wed....so take your time!!

(chew on that Vince and Cindy!!)

[Duende]

Great. I've been regulated to symbolizing a 10 piece of intestine. Nice. :lame:

[supervike]

All votes are in!

Announcement soon!

[Ritual]

Wohoo!! :)

[Frustrated Father]

Great. I've been regulated to symbolizing a 10 piece of intestine. Nice. :lame:


Huh?

[Duende]

Duodenum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In anatomy of the digestive system, the duodenum is a hollow jointed tube connecting the stomach to the jejunum. It is the first and shortest part of the small intestine and it is where most chemical digestion takes place. It begins with the duodenal bulb and ends at the ligament of Treitz. The name duodenum is from the Latin duodenum digitorum, twelve fingers' breadths or inches.

OK, I was wrong. I'm the first 12" of the intestines. (See Lavron's post, FF!)

[Frustrated Father]

Damnit, I'm still lost, but that's okay, I can fake it .. really ...

[vincegamer]

I thought you were one of those slaves supposed to make child birth easier.

[Duende]

So we do our daily RITUAL of looking to the SKY and wonder about the queasey feeling in our DUODENUM . Hmmm, what is taking so long....
hmm... who is noticeably absent.....


Note the words referencing Ritual, Skya, and (supposedly) me.

:flaminghe Gaaaaaaaahhh! Geez, Nathan, do I have to spell it out for you? ;)

@ vince - What??!! :wtf:

[vincegamer]

Oh, never mind. I think that's "duena".

[Frustrated Father]

AAHA! I get it ...

(walks away wondering if they bought it ...)
