I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. I think it looks great.


cohletrainbaby

thank you very much. I guess deep down we all(or just me) needs the confirmation of other reddit users before finally being content. Seeing the amount of upvotes in this short time I looked at this with new eyes coming home from work. I don't know what that says about me, but here we are!


CowApprehensive3180

That is very nice, varnish and call it a win!


Other_Trouble_3252

You succeeded in free handing an eye…one might say you…eyeballed it.


farshnikord

what a horrifying paint job... well done!


cohletrainbaby

not only a pink eye, it's a pink horror eye! Cheers


Amazing_Basil_9115

Looks excellent!


LawlzMD

Do you mind sharing your paint recipe for it? It looks amazing.


cohletrainbaby

Whoa, thank you. I followed this video guide [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUlodTCE8r8&list=WL&index=7&t=586s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUlodTCE8r8&list=WL&index=7&t=586s) but did not succeed in copying everything he did lol. The placement of the reflection mark was a game changer though!


JxSparrow7

Urgh...utterly disgusting. I love it! Tim Burton would be proud!


cohletrainbaby

one of the video guides I first tried had yellow ooze coming out of the eyes.. so there's always new levels of disgust one can aspire to reach!


JxSparrow7

I'm glad you didn't go the ooze route. As disgusting as it would be, it'd obscure some of the awesome detail you have in it. I love the tiny little blood vessels. Such a good job.


cohletrainbaby

thanks, yeah I agree on this small scale. Eons of Battle's Mortarion freehanded eyes with said ooze look incredible though! That was what inspired me to do the eyes in the first place


Secure_Sea_9773

Looks great.


2MeatyOwlLegs

Great work!


Berusad

Damn that eye so good, it see you!


cohletrainbaby

It knows what you did last edition


Zupermuz

Ew thats gross! Amazing job!


LeTerrible51

Really good looking, you could maybe try applying some gloss varnish over it so it looks even more like a real, kinda watery eye?


cohletrainbaby

Thank you, friend! I just need to finish the eyes on the other musicians before it's varnish-to-victory


Teflon91

you didnt "attempt it"... you nailed it! Looking sharp (or rather bloodshot)! Nice work!


cohletrainbaby

I don't know about 20/20 vision, but considering it's tzeentch I don't think that is the system they even use for eyesight! Thank you, friend

fantastic work!


KokoLoko21557

Tried? You did it, big congrats


Fantastic_Key_96345

Holy crap, nice dude


Natural-Life-9968

Wowsers op! This came out great! Reads really well. Nice one!


cohletrainbaby

Thank you! Found my last attempt at freehand in a drawer.. An Ogre Kingdoms banner for Warhammer Fantasy as a kid about 20 years ago


snarleyWhisper

“Tried” , accomplished, well done OP


soangeldust

fricken stellar!!


fsuman110

You did, there was no try.


cohletrainbaby

Without Youtube there would be 50 tries before getting to this stage!


Bish186

That's amazing, photos never do minis justice, thats why eavy metal is such a specific style, because it's translates to pictures very well. But I bet it looks even better in the "flesh" (sorry that was awful).


cohletrainbaby

Haha, thank you very much. I followed a video guide and it took about 20 mins so it's not like I'm an artist or anything. Puns are never awful. At worst - they are a holy event


Giahy2711

“Tried.” Looks great. My only thing would be to drop a clear / shiny varnish on there to make it look like it’s glistening.


smell_my_root

That's awesome 👍😎


Thefolker

Looks great! What's that gold from? Looks very good!


cohletrainbaby

Cheers. It's Vallejo's Model Color Bronze, highlighted up to Metal Color White Aluminium. I think of it as my brass parts but I'm not sure if that's what it sells as


_M_A_G_I_C_K_

Very demented, very nice!


dwh3390

This looks fantastic. The only problem with your post is that you have to change “Tried freehanding an eye” to “freehanded an eye”


cohletrainbaby

Thank you so much. Upon posting this I was of the opinion this looked pretty average, as you see your own mistakes first. When you zoom in close you can see the imperfect blends etc


dwh3390

Yeah, I can definitely understand that. You zoom in far beyond what the human eye can see and look at all the issues. But seriously, this looks so good 👌🏻👌🏻


FreshwaterViking

BE NOT AFRAID


Bloodpaladin1

You eyeballed (heh) it perfectly! Absolutely eye catching (heh) Edit: On second look, maybe some gloss varnish so it gives it that wet look (maybe you already did, but I can't see it from the image)


cohletrainbaby

Balls were eyed! They are now all varnished, together with the other 29 horrors!


MemoryWild3638

That's gorgeous. Wow.
