Unfortunately I have to agree with you mate, it isn't your best, though you have done some nice work.
I think it looks part finished and needs the highlighting to be applied.

Here we go.. still no time do get done anything new, but at least I could add some finishing touches to the warg rider

What do you think?

I think it's excellent. It's dark and dirty and very orcy. The fur is very close to how it looks in the film. I especially like the detail put into the face of the warg.

Much better, it has that dirty feel that Han refers too. Very fitting and well executed.

Thanks guys

Your comments were quite a relief after the rushed version I had to enter in the painting challenge.

So, I know, this isn't a real update, but due to a massive lack of time for the hobby I thought, I could show you some of my older works at least. Especially after some of you asked for it when I presented you the Moria display piece.
So here you go with the hobbits of the fellowship

I've painted them about 5 years ago or so..

These are good and I think shows how well you have developed. I know you would make a much better effort if you did these now.
I think it is nice to see things like this as it gives you a benchmark.

Thanks for the kind words Gandlaf

Maybe some day I will repaint them, or buy these models again and have a direct comparison

For now here are two more old works, again several years old.. But still I am pretty proud of the wings on Aragorn's bracers!

I stand by my earlier comment.

Its nice to see some of your older models. you shpuld upload some comparison shots to the One ring members progression thread.

Your Ghan-Buri-Ghan reminds me of an actor whose name I forget

EDIT: Wait, no, it looks like my mate's Dad :lol:

The warg is excellent and even the models from yesteryears are good quality.

Rognarr · **Posted:** Fri Dec 20, 2013 3:32 pm

Thank you all for your nice comments. They are quite encouraging and I really hope to find some time in the christmas holidays to get something new done

@DMS: Thanks, that's actually a pretty nice idea. Will do that ASAP

Rognarr · **Posted:** Fri Dec 27, 2013 3:13 pm

A belated merry christmas to all of you here in this wonderful community

I hope you're having a nice holiday.
I'm glad to be able to show you something new I've been working on in the last days: A dwarf king for the winter painting challenge

C & C are welcome as always!

The snow is very effective!

Very nicely painted. I really like the colour scheme. And that looks like nmm too?

mertaal · **Posted:** Sat Dec 28, 2013 8:11 am

Yes, I love these dwarf king models, and you've done a great job with him. Love the snow base too!

Harfoot · **Posted:** Sat Dec 28, 2013 8:13 am

Nicely done, the beard colour really works well as does the pattern on the cloth

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Sat Dec 28, 2013 8:49 am

Great work Rognarr and I love the way you have done the axe, the lines across the flat areas look the part. Ironically my only point is about the axe, do you think a little more light and dark contrast could be used i.e. some brighter highlights and a touch more shading ? For the shading try doing what Minimal Monkey Saddle has been doing, using thin glazes of purples and dark reds. His thread is worth a look.

Just going through your latest posts Rognarr. Great stuff. Your old models are so much better than what I produced back them. Well done. Love the dwarf king. Really excellent work there!
