Hey Guys-

OK..I feel kind of like a third wheel just surfing these pages and not participating (but then that might be a good thing considering all the uber talent happening here, makes me wanna stay lurking !).

So I went on an unexpected hiatus from models but this was one of the last projects I'd worked on, a repaint of the MARMIT ALIEN STATUES (Attack/A & Stoop/B poses). I had to "borrow" *ahem*ahem* Sabres' Marmit Stoop photo to show an example of the factory job. Once back from my vacation, I definitely want to get the gears going again since between The Hive and The Clubhouse, I'm feeling that painting/building urge hit me again, so here's my first photo op. Hopefully, I can get that new Jason-Hydra kit done then as well as put up a couple more I'm doing for others.

So be gentle....it's my first time *choke* lol;-)

STOOP/ B POSE REPAINT:

ATTACK/ A POSE REPAINTED:

DAMN!!!!!

Those repaints look unbelievable, man! How did you pull off that interference blue or camera gel effect I so subtly see in there.

Again, awesome work!

HIVE PEEPS: LOL! Thanx for the "extras", guys:-) Someone's gonna charge me for their DSL service.....hehe

NEW PEEPS: Hey thanx Dudes! I'm always on the lookout for new techniques so feel free to post/PM if there's stuff that can be improved on....

CREATURE CORE7: Funny you mention Interference....cuz that IS Interference blue and a couple hits of others in that line. And speaking of ideas.....I got THAT from RICKDTM's how-to he'd posted on an Alien repaint awhile ago (I never would touch them before I saw his work with them, then they made sense for use on a model to me).

I only did for these somewhat different, a layer of drybrushed Interference in spots, then layered the mottled washes/patterns over, random gloss hits, then hits of Interference and so on, then random fine point tracers with Interference & gloss on selected patterns, then texturizing the gloss/matte over it all to finish.....there's several layers there and all tedious to do....and I'm embarrASSed at some of the misses I see with some of these pics...lol. Blah blah blah...I'm rambling. So yea....your eyes serve yee well!

Thank you again for your kind comments everyone.

And if I may be so bold as to point out...

Everything (correct me if I'm wrong RB) was done BY HAND, WITH BRUSHES!!

You and Vin are my heroes with your brush skills.

Helldresser · #16 Post by **Helldresser** » June 23rd, 2007, 7:34 am

Damn ...the secret of my limited ability is out....lol Yea....brushes. Can't seem to get a handle on them airbrush contraptions. I love me some brushes though....

Glad to see another brush artist on here, and fantastic work, HUGE improvement on the factory jobs. Your detailing is amazing.

Conny-

YEA....dying breed it seems, huh? I always feel like I have to apologize for not using airbrushes these days. We must UNITE...us brush peeps:-)
And thanks for your kind words:-)

leeloo · #19 Post by **leeloo** » June 24th, 2007, 10:42 pm

Yep we certainly are, and like you I also find myself apologising

Look forward to seeing lots more from you!

NEVER apologize for using brushes my friend.

While I understand the skill needed to wield an airbrush and those that use them are artists as well, there's something to be said about just using a brush.

The things you guys can do with just brushes amazes me.
