[Meph]

Woah, me gusto! :D That's good base colour and nice shading. I'm looking forward to the progress on those FW models.

[Brymm]

Those are going to be great. I like the airbrush work, coming at each tank/vehilce a little differently than the last makes the army look REAL as opposed to the same color/shades/lines/etc. Keep it up!

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Nice posing, I look forward to seeing more of these!

[olekkkkk]

Hello

I did not look here for a while.


Tanks had been completed some time ago, and I have some pics of FW avatar.

Hope you like it

[Tzeentch's Dark Agent]

Sexy! :D

[DrLove42]

That Wraithseer face is very impressive. As is it all to be fair

[eldargal]

All very lovely.

[CouchViking]

The wraithseer's face is absolulty amazing, I can't wait to see it completed. The Avatar is awesome I love the blue, never would of thought of that one myself. Keep up the kick a@$ work.

[Ghoulio]

Dammit...now I HAVE to buy an airbrush lol. Man, those models look incredible. I love how much work you put in after the initial layer of colour you put down on your vehicles. Also that Wraithseer head is lights out good. Love your stuff, keep up the good work!

[SotonShades]

Amazing blend on the tanks and the nitghwing. I really love the neat lines of text on the superheavies!

I'm afraid I actually don't like the cold Avater. Don't get me wrong, I think it is superbly executed, but it just doesn't do anything for me at all. The Wraitheseer head on the otherhand is really spectacular. I love the splinter-vortex effect.

[Dlatrex]

Just to play the other side of the coin, I really dig the take on the cold-avatar! Very unique fits with the rest of the theme, and certainly well executed. Lovely collection.

[olekkkkk]

Thanks for comments

Work goes slowly forward. This time no airbrush. Darker parts of armour and highlights were handpainted.

[Autarch]

Oh my lord. Totally gorgeous. I just got my airbrush, I gotta learn how to use it beyond just doing nifty basecoating. I LOVE the Wraithlord. The striping, and subtle markings are fantastic cheers fellow Eldar player.

EDIT: I can't believe you didn't airbrush the wraithlord. mind-blowing brush work, cheers on the fantastic work.

[Emerald Rose Widow]

-goes to throw away her airbrush- I just cant do that -giggles-

seriously, just beautiful.

[SotonShades]

Damn you Pavlov, stop ringing your bell!

Instantly started drooling when I saw that. Personally I would have had it a bit higher, and I have a bit of a fetish for clear canopies, but she is a gorgeous kite.

[olekkkkk]

Hello

It's been awhile since I was here last time.

Here are pics of finished flayer and Farseer on jetbike I'm currently working. Farseer is made from dire avenger, he needs a coat trimmed with fur, some details and base with ice and snow. I plan to paint him in the black and turquoise with a lot of freehands.

http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z264/jollyroger-studio/farseerWIP_zps5f96b48d.jpg~original

[DWest]

I love the Farseer, very nice! Where did you hit on the idea for the perforations on the bike? Those look like a good way to freshen up regular Jetbikes as well.

[olberon]

instantly fell in love with this color scheme!

what colors did you use for it ???

also how did you get this effect ... !!!!!!!!!

[olekkkkk]

Hello

Perforation on bike was my own idea.

Don't remember exact colors on this eldars. There was a lot of mixing: pactra, GW old paints, RMS, some elements were airbrushed some painted with regular brush...

Here is update of farseer. Almost ready to paint. I'll try to recreate color scheme of rest of the army with new GW paints. I don't do this farseer on a constant basis, so it will take a while before I start to paint.

http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z264/jollyroger-studio/farseerjetbikeWIIP_zpsf054e8e5.jpg~original

[Niktopus]

That Farseer looks incredible! If GW made a Jetseer model of half that quality I would buy two - as it is I just have a sad metal Farseer torso glued to some skinny jetbike rider legs doing a 'look-no hands'...sigh...

[jugger]

Sick!!

[Sarp3Don]

This is totally awesome! Best Eldar i've seen! Very nice Conversions! No way anyone could be mad, being defeated by those minis :P
Very nice job! I'm excited to see, where you are going with the jetbikes colourwise! Great stuff! Keep it coming

[Earendil]

Wow, lovely vehicles. I really like the primary color choice.

[Lee D Boosey]

Really love these Eldar.. Really impressed by cloak on the farseer on jetbike. Whats that made from?

[FarseerPaul]

This is one of the most beautiful Eldar armies I have ever had the pleasure of seeing, it is so inspirational, thanks for sharing and I can't wait to see that jetbike mounted Farseer painted! :)

[Viktor Julian]

You are indeed Olekk the *****king. :D www.youtube.com/watch?v=fnbGymv56fo

[olekkkkk]

Disgusting :p

[Meph]

What? No revenant?! :D

[olekkkkk]

We finished one Revenant some time ago, pics are on previus pages of this topic.

Phantom is finished but he needs good pics. I'll post them soon.

Here is another part of this army:

[Meph]

Damn, that's pretty pretty...

[RGilbert26]

It's nice, impressive air brushing but I would be more impressed if you got the same effect by painting with a brush.

[DarkLink]

Why would you ever be stupid enough to paint that much surface area by hand?

[FarseerPaul]

It's nice, impressive air brushing but I would be more impressed if you got the same effect by painting with a brush.

I'd be more impressed if he painted it blindfold and holding a brush between his toes but given how stunning the effect is on the army I don't care either way :)

[Jonas Pålsson]

Awesome paint work!

[TitanMinis]

Love the limited pallet man :) well done

[RGilbert26]

Why would you ever be stupid enough to paint that much surface area by hand?

So in your opinion everyone who doesn't use an airbrush is stupid?

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

So in your opinion everyone who doesn't use an airbrush is stupid?Dark was a bit over the top, but still, saying someone's work is lesser/less impressive because they used a certain technique isn't very pleasant either.

Olek's painting an army (very well, I might add!) with a colorscheme based on color gradients over large, smooth surfaces, and thus chose a painting technique most suited for that task, just like how one might use a finepoint brush to paint eyes, or tape to help paint hazard stripes.

[RGilbert26]

Well I didn't say I did not like it I just said that if it was painted with a brush I would be more impressed with the work as it would have been harder to achieve the affect. Obviously the OP has skill with an airbrush which is why the models look the way they do.

[DarkLink]

So in your opinion everyone who doesn't use an airbrush is stupid?

...no. You want to hand blend that much stuff to the level of smoothness you get from an airbrush, be my guest. But if you've got an airbrush, it saves you so much time you'd be an idiot not to use it.

- - - Updated - - -

I was saying that the idea that he's somehow less skilled because he used an airbrush is bull. You get better results for a fraction of the effort, but it certainly doesn't mean it doesn't take skill to use an airbrush. It would be like congratulating someone on mowing their lawn with a pair of scissors.

[olekkkkk]

If I would try to paint phantom titan in this color scheme with a brush, I would need regular therapy. But if all surface will be covered with freehand or very tiny spots of camoflage the only way to do this is with normal brush ( and I would still need therapy).

Here are some WIP pics of farseer on jetbike:

[Rev. Tiberius Jackhammer]

I like the drilled in holes - so much of deco in 40k is sculpted on bling, that having the Farseer's decoration be the absence of material seems rather elegant.

[interrogator_chaplain]

Speed holes!

[scottshoemaker]

I really like the color choices here. The jade brings the otherworldness of the eldar to the fore, with the black and bone creating a sinister mood. It evokes the tragic emotions of the race to me.

[olekkkkk]

Thanks

Titan is finished.
Hope you like it.

[Meph]

Vèry impressive, nothing much to fault really. My only frown came from the dark-half/light-half feet, that's rather distracting.
