Techmarine

[Arctica]

Well i have been trying to go for more contrast in my painting, improving my NMM, blending and trying to be more patient with my painting. I think with this techmarine i have learnt alot about my own style and learning about the techniques etc. Also trying to look more at focal points on minis since the techmarine and the majority of gamesworkshop models are so detailed. Anyway enough of my waffle, enjoy the mini, any comments and criticisms to help me improve are always very welcome.

Love the highlights on the armor. Nothing to pick at from me. Way to go!

the armor looks great, Im assuming that was your focal point since the eye is naturally drawn to the chest and head.

The problem is that the armor is brought to a white highlight and juxtaposed with the servo arms they seem to suffer. You brought the nmm to the highest point (pure white or extremely close to) on the flamer arm, which looks really good, but then looking at the upper arms they seem unfinished bu comparison.

the nmm on the flamer and the gear over his pelvis looks awesome, just bring the rest of the servo arms to that point and I think the mini will look superb.

The main body is great. The red works really well, as does the NMM on the body. As Monkeysplitters says the servo arms do need to brought up to the same level of highlighting. Don\'t worry about loosing the focal point as the body is still the area of bright colour which will draw attention.
Also as a personal thing I would make the dark shading on the areas of NMM darker still to really make the contrast stand out

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I always needed a bit more contrast to my work, i guess this is another clear case of it. Im still working on smoother blending too. Thanks all

Everything I was going to comment on has been mentioned, the red armor looks great. I think like others have said that the arms could be brought up a little bit

great work.
