It\'s my Imperial Ogre Landsknecht I\'m workin\' on. It\'s a part of a battlescene diorama for this year Golden Demon. I\'ve removed some crappy stuff from it and added some XVI century german landsknechts clothes, and today I\'ll start to paint it. So tell me guys what you think about it.

That looks great. The slashes in the material look spot on.

Only criticism is that there is something not quite right with his sword arm. Can\'t quite put my finger on it. It looks a little awkward.

A dandy ogre

 

[tidoco2222]

Looks very good, I am looking forward to seeing you completed piece.

arm problem

@Spacemunkie

The sword-arm is OK, maybe the problem is the shot angle from which the picture was taken. Or maybe you\'re talkin about the size of the bigger part of the sleeve, but as I watch at it right now, everything seems to be OK

 

[Infidel Castro]

Dig the cod-piece lol. Drama indeed .

 

[douglasgreen]

Love it,love it,love it......

....everything is spot on,to say I can\'t wait to see it finished is an understatementSo many questions though,what\'s he gonna stand on,what\'s he going to hold in his left hand,what colour is he gonna be?I\'m busting to see this doneNice one

 

[Klute]

I think the change from greens to metal makes the sword arm look smaller.Bit of paint should sort that out.
Bags of character

That\'s awesome. One question though: did you prime it with metallic spray? Why so?

 

[G I B B O N]

no, it\'s citadel chaos black, but my camera isn\'t the best one, so it may look like that.

 

[Margo]

Oh I see. You probably overexposed the image, that\'s why it looks so shiny. Thanks for explaining, I started thinking that maybe priming with metallic spray is a new trend I\'m unaware of Good luck with painting it, so far it looks amazing!

Oh and btw ... there\'s a GD in Poland?

It is! I love pieces with good sense of humor. This one is an excellent example! As much as I dislike Ogres and Goblins, I can\'t help admiring your work, Gibbon.

 

[james9487]

Wow, this is really good. One question; what is happening on the base? Are you done with it, because you already sprayed it?

-James

 

[G I B B O N]

the base will be a fragment of a wooden planks laying on the castle wall floor.

 

[fat zombie]

maybe it\'s just me, but the treasure chest looks a bit awkward.

 

[donga666]

I agree with fat-zombie, it looks a bit like its going to fall over and the Ogre\'s going over on his face!!!

But thats just me

 

[G I B B O N]

I know, but its not finished. The chest will be removed.
