WIP - Sir Bailentine, Painting Process

Hi!

I would like show my WIP of Sir Bailentine - Adventuring Knight of the Rose, I'm new here and english is not my first language, I hope you understand me and sorry for gramatic errors, all criticism and sugestion are welcome...

I start this mini some days ago and I have only this picture, I will try make a new pictures of atual state.

All paint are GW and Vallejo acrilics.

I'm trying make some different of standard of Fantization pictures, maybe more reallistic look...I have so much work to do before finish...

no more words...

Still too early to tell much. What color are you going to use for the cape? Which head will you use?

I used severall thin layers of different colors in cloack, but base is a Vallejo Model Color Pale Blue...after shaded with a old color of GW, Eletric Blue and some lights with base color + Skull White, after this I add some dirty with other ancient GW, Terracota, very diluited and put some glazes of Nauseating Blue (GW)...Now I'm add more light and glazes for smooth look.

I don't choose head at now, I thinking paint two and see what is better, some tip?

Cheers!

OK. I see now. I didn't notice the weathering (dirt) the first time and thought it was still just white primer! I prefer the head without the helmet myself, but it's up to you of course!

Looking good so far.

I have a question for you Matt, do you design back side of armour in left leg for leather made or do you think other material in your mind?

Manic_Miner: Thank you for incentive!

I'll have to take a look at it, but I seem to remember the back being metal armor too.

Hi everybody!

Sorry about delay in show some advance in this job . I had working in other projects, but now I think its time to finish.

Here some pictures of miniature at now, I hope complete soon.

All comments are welcome!

He's alive! Looking good so far! I like the contrast between the light cape and the dark metal you used for the armor.

Thanks!!

I'm really happy with your comment, I hope do you think is good, when is ready.

Hi!!

Something more close to finish...

I add some blue glazes in metals, gems, right shoulder and smooth face.

More advances...

looking good. What do you plan to do with the base?

Hi Matt!

For base I to thinking put at the top of a small waterfall, looking forward and in down side carving a cave in stones with some kind of tentacle lurking and moving at knight back…tomorrow I can show a picture of base…but its only in first stage of job.

Sorry for my bad english...

A small progress in weekend...smoothing face and iniciate the base, now I need finish left hand and shield, after add some final touches, something like small light points...
