That one is for my honour guard (dantes Honour guard) as such they have the chapter banner with them and so painted it on thier rezorback.

I think they're coming along nicely, Duke. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Yea, neither can I, lol. I put a few more hours into it tonight and the sanguinius one is coming along. Any tips people?

WOW i love the freehand

the only tip that i have ever recieved for free handing something is to draw/sketch/block with micro pen first. something that i always struggled with was the wet palette/keeping acrylics wet to blend/paint (they ain't anything like some good ol' oil paints) - someone suggested using dish soap as a medium, i found it works quite well.

back to the rhinos: they look great so far. really just need some highlighting/shadowing and you should be set.

question though, are you gonna keep the heavy outlines or do you plan on painting them out?

**Duke** · 10-05-2009, 02:41 PM

I plan on keeping the outlines as they are pretty much. It looks a lot thicker on the pic than it does In real life (I took the photo with my phone.) I put a couple hours of highlighting into this last night so hopefully Ill have an update tonight for you all. (watch heroes and paint, woot!)

P.S. Thanks all for the comments, it takes a lot of bravery to attempt these projects, and it is cool to hear what everyone thinks.

Lovely job so far Duke. About a thousand times better than anything i could do.

Here is an update...

[url]http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg312/Veahirin/sanguinius2.jpg[/url]

Things I did...
1. Wrote in "BLOOD ANGELS," on the scroll (The Hvy bloters cover a big part of it.
2. Shading and Highlighting on the red
3. Wrote "Frater Sanguinius," on the scroll across his body
4. Painted in his "halo"
5. Washed the grey background with Badab black
6. drew in "crese marks" on the cloth and clothing
7. Put hair and a face on Sanguinius.
8. Other small touch ups

Please let me know if you see any vital flaws (remember that it is harder to do this because of the nature of my canvas). Other than that I always like to hear what people think...

Cheers,

DUKE
