    Hey there, I'm gonna start a slow blog where I crawl through my progress (It may take a while)
    My current possesions are:
    Luxumbra Tiger soldier: 100%
    Red Veil Box: Haqq about 50% painted
    YJ Imperial Service Old Box: 0%
    YJ Imperial Service New Box: 0%
    JSA Starter + Kaizoku: 0% but I love this one
    JSA Tanko Zensenbutai: 0%
    Miyamato Musashi Aristea: 0%
    Shikami: 0%
    Kaizoku Blister: 0%
    Brawler LE from Uprising: 0%
    Brawler Box: 0%

    Phew.... it's still a long time to 100% (and I'm a horrible slow painter :,( ) but In the meantime:

    the eyes -
    This do not help and make this strange effect - it would look better if you just make them dark without whites more natural - you paint upper lid and then dark line under it faking half open eyes
    i made this on Max Scorpio mini
    https://i.imgur.com/0e6nso7.jpg
    other thing is you will rarly c a whole aye it is usaly a half visible of a circle
    [​IMG]
    and a simplier example - just black half dot
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]
    or black with a blick of white acting as a reflection on the surface
    i even got somwer photos of Exact same Ghulams mini ... just need to find them after photobuket apocalipse ...
    so Fix the eyes and make them less pail - if they are no Gingers / albino they got more colour in them

    I don't even bother painting eyes most of the time, just leave the entire eye in the darkest shade tone of the skin. The only time I paint eyes is when the skin tone is very dark (African, Dark Elf, etc).

    Ok i hope you will do something with base now it looks like she is standing among a watered down poop
    other thing is blue and purple parts is not best mix as purple is a mix of blue + red so it is like not new part but shade in already blue thing
    opposite / complementary is would be Yellolow goldis yellow but you already used it on this borders , so it is not best mix of colours

    Finished the Tuareg, Khawarij and moved to the Zhayedan. Will make good pics of the three when I'm done with the Zhayedan.

    Hey Maru,
    Thank you for the tutorial but I personally prefer a mix of the Angel Giraldez way and this one http://thor-modelling.blogspot.com/2012/08/lord-of-gabrax-part-2.html?m=1

    But maybe I should stop posting unfinished shed minis like the Zhayedan. I'm just so much hyped at my own progress [emoji4]

    Sorry for double post. Ah you mean the Kujo Tutorial? I know him and talked a bit to him. Very nice guy and very good tutorial. It's basically what I used but with way more layers and way more time investement.

    So if you are using similar way but invest a way more time and effort and get lesser effect - you are doing something wrong .

    I think you misread my post.

    I meant that his leather takes more layers and way more time investement than the leather I made.
    I'm also making a gaming piece and not a display tutorial so I don't have much time to invest because I've another armies and minis waiting up :disappointed_relieved:
    But yeah. I hope I get better with each piece so I can give the next ones better paint jobs. :grinning::ok_hand: I'm also now really thinking of correcting the eyes.
    I first hadn't intented to do them right because Haqq isn't my main army ´but u really got me thinking in that I could do it better.

    Thank you! :yum:

    Very nice minis. Finally Varnished and with bases. Very very cool.
