Ark's Christmas Comp Thread

[Arkaedin]

Didn't think I would avoid this one did you? ;)

Well my plan was originally to have Santa stuck in a chimney, but my plan changed as I dug for bits and started building stuff. Now it's just santa sliding down a chimney. The actually chimney needs work, but you see the base of what it will be. Santa is, for the most part, done. I like how he turned out, though the right eye got a bit screwed up when I shaved the helmet off, but nothing I can't fix with painting.

C&C welcome!

EDIT- before anyone asks, the GS on the chimney looks odd because it's supposed to mimic the concrete or whatever around the top of a chimney being all work down and stuff. It will be more noticeable with painting, trust me :)

I love it. Very traditional.

Can't wait for the paint.

Imagine this...you're 6 years old waiting up for good ol' saint nick, you hear a hustle and bustle on the roof, and you're jumping for joy. But, he is not as expected, instead he is an armor clad chaos dwarf ready to load your stockings full of coal! Now thats a Warhammer Christmas. Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight.

[The Commodore]

Coming along nicely chap.

[Kishvier]

Anything new dude?

[Arkaedin]

Whoops, forgot to mention that I can't work on him until I get back home on break! Don't worry, only a few more days ;)

[Farskit]

We'll wait... But be warned that you will be lynched if you don't update :p I for one want more!

[Starky]

Yep I agree with Farskit more is needed Ark, it looks amazing now, I can't wait to see more.

[Marticus]

keep it going ark.. htis is looking good :)

[Arkaedin]

Ok, still a large PIP, but you should be able to see where I'm going with it. I tried giving him rosy cheeks and I think it turned out rather well.
C&C welcome!

I love the rosy cheeks! If I thought that it would be useful for my IG, I'd ask how you did it. Its nice.

[Nomad]

Looking great. Will be really nice when finished.

[Starky]

Wow Ark that looks really nice the rosy cheeks worked 100% but I think the snow may need abit of work just to even out the white. But overall this looks like a really cool. Like the work

Starky

[UltraAdam]

but but hrrrrrrrrm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!:mad::mad::mad:

[Arkaedin]

Thanks for the replies guys!

@Starky- I assume you're talking about the top of the chimney- that's actually not snow, that's the white primer still :p I have yet to paint that or finish the clothing or the bricks. The only thing I'm "done" with is the face (and that may get revisions anyways) ;)

[The Commodore]

That looks really cool man. Good job there.

[Eodred]

Aye that's cool.

How did you do the rosy cheeks?

Cheers

[Arkaedin]

Just watered down dwarf flesh, pretty simple :D

Ahright, and what did you do the rest of the skin in?

Cheers

[Arkaedin]

Base coat Bestial Brown
2:1 Bestial to Dwarf
1:2 Bestial to Dwarf
2:1 Dwarf to Elf
1:2 Dwarf to Elf
Elf on the highest points

all watered down, too.

[Eodred]

Ah thankye, I don't normally go that light myself, that's why I didn't recognise it.

Have I repped you yet?

Nice looking as always Ark. I really like the face and the little white details add some variation to what would have been just a flat area of red. Love the work.

Starky

[LAZtheinfamous]

Nice.
