Title: Durthen on Boar
Post by: dargrin on January 10, 2008, 09:11:38 PM
Well this one was on the shelf at the local store and I had too paint it right away.  I took me longer to paint then I wanted but here it is.

noses I have seen as both dark and pink, it looks pinkish from the front but its hard to tell.

graduation of colour on boar lighter on to to darker below? It looked like you had it from the front, but it seems less obvious from the rear view

Looks excellent, could do with a better pic for the front view ...the lighting seems a bit off.

Do you ever use real metallics?

Thanks for the kind words guys. 

@Bungle:

I did some research be for painting the boar.  I missed the pink nose.  I don't think that I have pink in my arsonal of paints so I may have to spend some time with my red and white versions of paint. 

@ Gi6ers

I have not used the metalics in quite some time.  I have the MSP metalics in my case but I have been working on my NMM and GNMM for so long then never seem to come out.

<stupid question>
  What is GNMM?
</stupid question>

All I get from my google-fu is Gnu Nine-Men's-Morris, and I don't think that is what you meant!

Some are pink some ain't  :icon_wink:  the ones I looked at the darker and older ones tended to be pink.. scar tissue maybe from all that digging in the dirt.

some of the lighter brown ones didn't... must be a breed thing. I just thought it would add a touch of contrast. :icon_wink:

Thanks again Bungle.  I will play around with some color to see if  I can get a good combo.
