That is cool how you are presenting your work. Definitely will check in to see how you progress. Saruman and Ugluk look great.

Thanks Sithious

I believe I'm really improving my painting eheh
It is really cool to be able to follow all the steps of this collection :-D

Ugluk looks great, but his hair seems a bit too yellow.

Hmm, maybe a little more brown wash would do?

Goldman25 · **Posted:** Mon Jun 02, 2014 11:35 am

Probably, yeah.

Hey guys, I've finished number 17

It's Grishnákh

I've messed up the face a little bit, but overall, I think my painting is really improving

Very nice work, you are picking out the intricacies of these figures very well, much better than before.
With the bones, if you add a thin dark brown glaze to them it will create a dirtier looking bone.

I would also give the blade a thin wash of brown to make it look dirty, rusty and old. In short: orcish ^^

It's not a fail. It's simply experience. You've put these out so fast which is quite impressive and your skill is increasing very quickly. Good work

Thank you a lot James

Well, I started this "journey" february 1st. I've painted before, when i was 13 yo, and then I had a hiatus until my 21 xD
I dont need to say that when I was 13 I didn't really cared about the painting techniques ahahah

Overall, I'm really happy with the progress I made in the last 4 months :-D

Well, Éomer is ready to fight :-D

Nice! The horse could take a bit more shading, but I can see your quick progress on painting.

Well, in that case I think I'll do some more work on the horse (shades and probably a bit more highlight).
Thanks a lot Rognarr

Very good work! I too have recently started painting, it's encouraging to see another beginner

keep at it!

As you have your army painter dipping solution, try that and when dry apply a highlight.

Looks good. As others have said you are rapidly improving. Eomer looks battle ready indeed

Aulë, the Valar · **Posted:** Sat Jun 21, 2014 9:19 pm

Well, numbers 19 and 20 are:
19 - Just the magazine and 3 paints
20 - orcs of moria (wich I didn't painted because I had already painted the ones in nr 1)

Aulë, the Valar · **Posted:** Sat Jun 21, 2014 9:24 pm

And here's number 21 - Gimliii :gimli:
