I haven't cross-posted any of my painting projects here recently so thought I'd get up one of the recent ones. This is another commission piece - but one I got to do at a slightly higher standard so I'm reasonably pleased with it.
I have also stopped offering low-end commission painting. Except for a couple of current clients I'm only going to be offering high end painting and conversion - which means a *LOT* less work but much more interesting projects that I can really put some effort in to. I decided that spending so much time painting to a lower standard just wasn't something I was interested in... even if it has funded so many fun new toys for me.
This one is just shy of 1.5 inches tall....
Anyhoo, project after the cut.
Commissioned Black Templar Tech Marine that I'm pretty darn happy with. I'm going to go in and clean up the BT icons on his shoulder and knee but otherwise think that he turned out quite well.
I am especially pleased with the armour chipping and the limited rust on the exposed metal of the servo backpack. The rust was accomplished using the "Rust All" product which I'm becoming happier with the more I use it.
I'll get some better photos online the next time I break out the light box. The blending and highlighting on the red don't come through particularly well in these shots - although you can see some of it in the third photo down.
Green and blue were chosen as the split contrast colours for the red on this one. I did not, however, make any specific attempts to apply them as spot colours.
