This blog hosts pictures of models painted by me (Alan O'Bryan), a four-time U.S. Golden Demon winner (2002-2003) and the 2013 West Coast Store Wars and 2016 Las Vegas Open Warmachine/Hordes Master Craftsman. I hope you enjoy these models and find inspiration here for your own work!
PLEASE NOTE: While I still sometimes use this blog to post pictures for linking to on forums, my main page has moved to www.gorillawithabrush.com. See you there!
Thanks! Yes...but they are not a high priority on my list of things to paint (they are beautiful models, but the color scheme is not that fun to paint). I will probably paint the Sundr [Bellower and the Stone Singer] before too long, but the rest of the Dredge might have to wait while I finish some other projects.
ok thanks ! I understand !! It's not funny but grey/black isn't easy to paint !!! With some explications and models will be more easy for us :-) And how do you do your base (rock, ... ) ? Very cool !
I will remember your comment when I paint the Dredge and will try to make a record of my process to share with you.
I can give you two comments to think about with black and gray. If they are true neutral blacks/gray then they can be a bit boring. If you add a touch of dark blue, dark purple, dark green, or whatever to the black before you start lightening it with white to paint layers or highlights. The other comment is that if you are trying to keep things pretty dark but want highlights, then you can paint your gray layers and lighter highlights, and then mix up a wash of black (using water, matte medium, and black paint or ink) and glaze over the areas several times with this color until the color is right. It will maintain darker and lighter spots but will be more black and less gray.
Fantastic ! Painting of dredge is planned? Thanks a lot
