A little bit more work done on the Riptide. I have now painted the bulk of the torso, including the darkened interior, red panels, and comfy seat. It's quite tough to try and get a good shot inside that thing! Also, for some reason the blue is showing up as a lot lighter than it actually is, so I'll have to play with that for the final shots.
Additionally I've completed a Shadowsun in the same color scheme, but with the added bonus of Active cloaking occurring. Shadowsun and the three drones are all in some stage of adapting to their surroundings.
The whole approach to this was inspired directly by Cagn on Le Blog De Kouzes. You can see his great Remora Drone below, and obviously my "transition" line and glow is a direct (if inexperienced) attempt to mimic the effect.
I hope you (and the client) like it!
Cheers

Well, I think you've managed to capture the transition lines nicely.

Really nice looking Dave! Love the transition.
ReplyDeleteFreaking awesome, and Cagn nailed it. I'll try a much crappier version of this with my Infinity models.
ReplyDeleteThe active cloaking looks rad, Dave - as does the pose of the Riptide. Looking forward to catching up on the weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking stuff. The Riptide is progressing really nicely. The interior detail looks great.
ReplyDeleteShadowsun looks nice too, really nice cloaking!
Nice work! ;-)
ReplyDeleteAnd just to correct, it's Karun and not Cagn who painted the Remora!
Cheers,
Thanks mate, I'll get that changed ; )

Dave
Very nice looking. May I ask what colors you use to line the recesses on the white of the riptide?
ReplyDeleteCheers mate.
Sorry for the delay. The darkest colour on the white/bone is VMC Beige Brown. Hope that helps.
DeleteHello, I just discovered your blog and I'm not disappointed.
ReplyDeleteI like the work you made to your riptide, the color scheme is very nice but making inside the Riptidde is very interesting.
Very good work and good continuation
Dave, I must confess that I really neeeeeed to copy your idea, and your implementation looks great, I did mine a while ago but I stoped short, and never applied to the rest of the squad.
ReplyDeleteHello !
ReplyDeletethank you for your tribute Mr. Dave Taylor but, this remora is the work of Karun, an another Kouze ;-)
As we say in french : "Il faut rendre à César ce qui appartient à César !"
