hi, i would like to share my gorillas with you. very simple paint scheme: Black basecoat with airbrush followed by light grey again with airbrush on the back and belly. eyes painted yellow followed by a red wash. teeth and face drybrushed white. tongue painted red. panzer gloves painted brass and silver. washed the brass with gryphone sepia and the silver first with badab black followed by a green wash.

CnC welcome

regards

alex

p.s. how do you convince this forum not to cut pics on the sides?

Sweet paint job! I like them very much! Thank you for sharing your talent and your methods.

Nice Gorillas.

In order to get the whole pic with no clipping on the right side of the pic you need to resize the pic when you upload it here. When you click on the add image button it opens a box where you put in the URL for the pic. Put in the URL as normal but then you have to go to the boxes that say width and height and change them. Sometimes 800 width by 600 height will be enough, I usually go 700 by 525 to be sure. The good thing is that, at least in my browser, once you type in the width, the height value should automatically come up. Here are two examples. The first pic is just a straight URL without changing the dimensions, the second pic is the same URL with the dimensions changed to 700 by 525.

I just used a random pic from my photobucket account as I don't really have pics of my Dust models yet (I need to get on that, I have hundreds of points painted for axis and allies that I haven't taken pics of yet). Also, the edit button is your friend. Put in your pic and if it is cutting off too much, edit your post, delete the pic and re-link the pic again and change the dimensions until you are happy with them. That is how I came up with the sweetspot of 700 by 525.

But to get the whole picture in you might want to try 650 by 488 as seen below (this last pic shows the entire original pic) but usually 700 by 525 shows what you need shown without reducing the size too much. Hope that helped

Glad that you like them ^^

@stormbole thanks for the detailed explantion. hope it worked now.

I don't see any pics on the first post and only a white square on the others.

I suspect they are blocked as I am "at work".

Gorgeous paint job! I bet they look very scary running across the table-top!!!

the pics are hosted photobucket. can you see pictures on their main page?

thanks cortez.

saw how others painted their gorillas and am now thinking about adding some blood stains. what do you all think keep em neat or make em bloody?

That's a lot of personal preference. I kind of like them blood free, the way you have them.

I do like the muddy feet. I would suggest adding a bit of mud to the hands. They would still knuckle walk with the metal hands.
