Welcome to another edition of Ghool’s Graveyard, starring Ghool. This article series gives people looking for some feedback on their mini painting a chance to get critiques on their work.
Today we have something special for you in the graveyard: instead of being the one giving the critiques, this time, Ghool will be on the receiving end! Today he gets to find out what it’s like to be on the receiving end of the Graveyard’s icy touch.
Welcome back to my Graveyard!
This article series is for those of you looking for critiques and ways to improve your miniature painting. If you just want praise and awe of your fantastically superior paint jobs, then this article series might not be for the likes of you! I will keep my critiques constructive, and positive, so that anyone submitting models to the Graveyard will be able to learn something. It won’t be a bash-fest, nor will I cut you apart for making an honest effort. What I will do is offer suggestions for improvement, and detailed advice on what works, and what doesn’t. I will delve into tips on using colour theory, tonal contrast, and a lot of technical artistic expertise in this series (which of course, will be defined, and explained).
Together we shall unearth the eternal secrets of excellence in miniature painting!
The Rules for getting your models in the Graveyard:
- Models must be in focus, and well lit. I should be able to clearly see what you’ve painted. No blurry phone camera submissions please.
- Backgrounds preferred are neutral: gray, blue gradient, light brown, or white. No background clutter, patterns or busy backgrounds please.
- Photos must be full colour, and not re-touched with any photo editing software. Snap the photos, and send them to me; no resizing please.
- Several angles must be included. Single angle submissions will be discarded. A minimum of three angles must be included in your submission.
Send all submissions to: ghoolsgraveyard@gmail.com
Welcome to my Graveyard! This is a new on-going series that will hopefully run bi-weekly, depending on my schedule, and amount of submissions I receive.
Submissions? You’re thinking, what would our faithful readers be submitting you ask? Your models! What will I do with them, you ask? I will provide an un-biased, and well-informed critique of techniques, methods, style, and colour schemes of any and all models submitted to Ghools Graveyard.
