Sketchbook: GreenBeams

GreenBeams

I started about a month ago and have just loved making models and learning to paint. I've not done too much so far but here's what i will call completed. I know that there'll be some horrible mistakes and everything but hopefully i'll show progress )

Any help, comments or crits are really welcome. I'm here to get better and won't take it personally


the first weapon:

and then i started on an orc shield:

Ok, i'll continue to add to this and thianks for looking!

I like this a lot! As for critiques, perhaps the wear and tear on the shield could be enhanced, paint chipping, wear around the edges etc.
IMO the knife could use another color somewhere to make it pop.
Keep it up! What tutorials have you been checking out for the hand painted texturing? I'm learning myself and would love to know how you're learning!

hey, sorry about the delay and thanks for commenting ^^

You're bang on right about the wear and tear. Looking at it now, there are no chips or chunks taken out as you'd expect on the rim of any shield.

What sort of colour would you go with on the knife? Do you mean colouring the highlights and shadows, that kind of thing?

For the hand painted texturing, the daddy tutorial seems to be this one by the titan Tyson Murphy

You've also got this guy, Jeff Parrot, who i believe is on Polycount too

I have learned a lot from the superkind Tsabzy, also

Based on my own experience - jump in and have a go, bang your head off a wall, cry for a small amount of time, work some more and it will gradually get a little better xDD

Thanks for the critique, all the best and be sure to post your prgress

I finished the sculpt and am now either looking at retopo for practice or polypainting... or, maybe both, yay!

Can't say enough thanks for all the help i received here when asking about stylized hair creation =D

GreenBeams

I'm working on a few things at the moment so i'm calling this done, i think.

This is my first crack at a full game character!

I got invaluable help here when sculpting the head and it totally changed the way i was working. At present, i'm fairly confident i'm finished the High Res sculpt and now time for retopolgy and mapping. I understand there's a few ways to retopologize so i'm going to have a few goes at it to stop it from seeming so scary^^

Any hints, tips, crits, comments or anything, really, would be greatly apreciated. Please, if you've got the time, help me get better =D

First one down and on to the next, yay!! I had so much fin doing this and i learned a TON. it's not brilliant by a long shot but it turned out much better than i thought it would!

Currently working on my painting skills to get better at the hand painted and i wanted to put this in here too:

I've been gone a while so i thought i'd update this a bit - 


Privateer Press Trollkin Fellblood Warrior (FAN ART)

That image really started me on a push to really get to grips with making miniatures. I'd really like to do that so here's what i've done in the last 6 months:
Goblin Shaman - after GW Style


Dwarf Adventurer - Concept by Johan Egerkrans - http://johan-egerkrans.blogspot.com/


Wolf Adventurer - Concept by Johan Egerkrans again


Chaos Marauder - Original Concept by Alexander Trufanov - https://www.artstation.com/artwork/2znwB
altered to make it more like a mini from GW's Chaos army with his consent. (Thanks again, Alex!)

Viking Warrior - concept by Magnus Noren 

GreenBeams

This is Hover Girl, a fairly liberal adaptation of an original concept by Magnus Noren

Thanks, Magnus, for being kind enough to let me use your excellent work!
