Gailbraithe Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 So this is my first ever attempt at doing freehand on a tank: What do you guys think? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted November 30, 2016 Report Share Posted November 30, 2016 That is absolutely fantastic! Incredible work and great detail, down to the feathers on the chestplate-Aquila and on the wings of the Chaplain's crozius. This is an amazing 50th attempt, let alone a first attempt. I presume the paintings are of the occupants of the tank? Is this a Land Raider for your command squad? One suggestion - on the Captain, the upper body is outlined in black, which makes it stand out nicely from the background of the tank. The legs look like they haven't been outlined yet, and fade into the tank more than the torso. If this isn't just an artifact of the photography, I'd suggest adding some darker outlines on the legs. I really hope this is something you're going to continue throughout the army, because the effect is stunning! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chaplain is just a generic chaplain, but this Land Raider is supposed to be my chaplain's dedicated transport. I think I will go back and add a little more outlining to the legs as you suggest. And yeah, I have two Valks I've got to get painted up for my IG, and I found some hilarious 40k themed pin-up art to use as nose art. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
