You, Sir... are AWESOME!

The jeans, boots and hat... PERFECT!

The Poncho is GOOD. You could try to do what Narcissus said. It is a good tip. If I were you, I go for the GOLD and try it. You will do fine!

Narcissus's washing, highlighting, washing technique will work well (That's what I did on my prisoners voidsuit).

I have also found that mixing the previous layer, with the highlight 1:1 (nothing fancy) allows you to blend up to the highlight more effectively - but you must keep the mixture fairly wet so that you can 'push' and spread it into a colour gradient up to the highlight. This is really badly explained, but might help (maybe?).

Love the jeans on the guy and the overall feel is very cool!

Thanks for the compliments. I have now done another light wash over top and then tried to build up the shadows a bit more. I think it looks better.

It is really challenging to highlight those big light areas and still keep it realistic. Pushing the shadows deeper will really help to add depth. It is definitely looking really good. My favourite model of yours so far.

Allrighty then. The bounty hunter Bruiser Crotchburner is ready to go out an get his man (or alien). I washed over top of my highlights fixed up a couple little spots and did the base. If you have any suggestions now it is too late and you can shove it! (joking I am of course always looking to improve). I think he is looking not bad, I may try and start on something additional but I am moving and starting a new job soon so this might be all that I accomplish.

He is looking VERY good! Congratz!

On the 'additional'... maybe a base to put him on. Nothing complicated... some sand, a wooden sign with Prisoner Exchange, some cactus...


Great conversion!

Looks great. The shadows on the poncho look really good. I love the blue jeans. The basing looks really nice too.

I'm really impressed. I haven't seen too much of your models but I feel like you've pushed yourself on the painting and modelling and basing for this model and it looks great. How did you find it? Are you addicted to greenstuff and Devlan Mud?

Thanks Guys.

I definitely but more effort into this model than previous ones. It turned out well but I think I am still dedicated to quantity over quality. I found the greenstuff was actually not too bad but something I could improve for sure. And I do like my Devlan mud.

... and THAT sultansean is one of the points of the Prisoner Exchange! Think about it... sure, maybe you would experiment with GS and Devlan Mud eventually... but when? You pushed yourself into modeling and painting places you were not familiar and you realized you are BETTER than you thought!

BRAVO! Salute

Tuff Git the Space Ork Cowboy is on the loose, or actually he is not on the loose since he now has a scenic base which just needs a little writing on it. Once again sorry for the sideways pictures.

Scenic Base looks GREAT! Love the little poster!

Suggestion... use PICASA to edit pics. You can rotate them there. Wink

Ace looking base - really sets the model off.

Looks great. You could use some layers of thinned washes to really age that wood...
