You can get CHEAP jewelry chain (not gold!)... at our scale, it could be the correct size. Try going to a place that sell stuff to saw clothes or make crafts.

First pic is BEST! put the model, take the photo again with all the shadows. Then use it to paint. EXCELLENT hint... I got to try this one day. THANKS!

Riddick? They use some sort of man-creature to "see" if someones alive... he "sees" the veins and blood of people...

This could very well become one of the coolest prisoners ever!

Looking forward to the finished result.

I'm not death, I just took an arrow to the knee. I was studing to take the bar exams and it's been crazy. I began painting again just last week and i'll be able to deliver in time.

Also, the wall broke so the diorama will be floor and psyker only =/

Ohhh... too bad about the wall. Anyhow... it will be GREAT!

Ended up changing the concept on my prisioner, and after a couple of hours it's done!

Only did that because I have no more airbrush to work with and trying to create light and shadows with spray cans is something I cannot do...

I won't post pics but I'll post his background as soon as it's finished and I may even paint a few others so it can be used as the 'special rule' it has.... hint hint

ohh...
But we do the best we can! Anyhow, take plenty of pics... so AFTER the Prisoner is received and a new thread is open by the Recipient, you can also post them there!

CONGRATULATIONS on finishing the Beasty...now you're free again!
As Himself said, take lots of photos; re, you can never be sure the Guy you are sending it to has the ability or the inclination to post pics.

When painting or drawing at least a flat planes highlights will always be the brightest unless they are in a cast shadow. That being said every time you change planes you change the value one shade darker. so one plane that is perpendicular to your base plane would be a middle gray as it's (main) color (you can still highlight but don't use a highlight as bright as the flat plane (unless something protrudes form). Then if there is another plane (the one on the left on your piece it should be the darkest of the colors because you have changed planes 2 times.

That might just confuse you and put a bunch of art speak out you don't understand though. And I think I'm too late anyhow but for anyone else that is doing this too.

Dysturbed... I'm VERY confused! This a new level of disturbance I have never seen from you! Heheheh

Your bottom is a flat plane aka it gets the most light. It should be lightest in the direction that the light is shining the next perpendicular plane should be middle tone. Next the one that is perpendicular to the light should be dark grey with darker shadows.

That doesn't mean you should paint it all one color what it means is that the highlights and most of the color used should be lighter if it's on the lightest. The highlights should be darker on the darker part.
In paint terms i would paint the right wall with codex gray. add some black to codex gray to do the back wall, and start off with a 1/2 and 1/2 mix of white and codex gray for the flat plane on the bottom.
this is your basecoat after that you can highlight and ink. Be sure to be mindful of where the light is coming from when you do highlights. highlights should be on the left side of each block on the flat plane. the should be toward the top of the blocks on the vertical walls. Also when you highlight be sure not to cover up too much of the basecoat you want the main colors here to be the colors you put down in the first place NOT your highlights and shadows.

Now when you do this you have to remember that the light coming down is coming in left to right aka the opposite of what it looks like on what im showing you.

This will give more of the illusion of space.

Hope the text wasn't bad to read, my grammar and writing in English are getting worse by the day... If you find anything wrong, please point it out. i'll also try to take more pictures but won't be able to post until my pc is up and running again.

EDIT: Ok, this is not up to my standards, so I'm going to send a few 'extras' with it. Since i don't sleep anymore I'll start working on it today and see if I can get it done by sunday.

EDIT 2: That is if I can find any one of my 3 x-acto blades...

Looks ace so far - having had an early fail with my airbrush it is impressive to see what can be achieved with one. I'm assuming you are going for a limited colour palette with this - that would look awesome (sorry if you've already said what you plan and I've missed it). I've got to try more airbrush stuff.

Looking forward to seeing the prisoner in more detail.

Laney:)

I'm not sure I read right or you read wrong but this wasn't done with an airbrush, Laney =p

It has a limited palette, yes, I used 4 shades of green, ice blue and lime green+white.

After the picture was taken I sprayed mat varnish on the whole piece and later gloss varnish over the top, it gave me a nice effect with a dead-black on the far corners of the room.
