    Love the inclusion of the body parts, really makes this mini stand out. Highlights look quite good on this model, well done! Shame about those darn mold lines but on the table at gaming distance I'm sure it looks great.

      Thank you again! Yeah I wanted to make these stand out a bit and yeah my sick mind thought of bodyparts! Hahahaha! Yeah mould lines is hell man but yeah good for the tabletop! :D

    Seeing the inclusion of the skulls has me thinking of merging the graveyard golem with an earth elemental to have my pcs attacked by unhallowed ground.
    Keep up the great work and the inspiration to us watching!

    Great job, though I really don't understand why many people who paint air elementals insist on using blue. If you've ever seen a tornado, it's primarily shades of white and grey.

    • @DevsDice
      @DevsDice  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well I have not seen an actual tornade IRL but for me the inspiration was sort of that dark-blue storm cloud, also, I was aiming to make it a bit more "fantastic" than "realistic" :) Thanks for the comment! :D

    Will you please paint a Space Marines? It doesn't matter what chapter, just a Space Marines. The reason why is because you always have a special touch,like the way you did this air elemental. Im just very curious as to what you would do! And as always another OUTSTANDING job 👍🤘

    You putting in the skulls made me think about spiraling sand from the bottom to the top and working in the sand color into the elemental, much like tornadoes

    • @DevsDice
      @DevsDice  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yeah that would have been even better!!! Also I would have loved a bit more texture in the mini which sand would have solved! I might look into that! ;) Thanks for commenting!

    Wow, the whole video I was wondering why you were talking about how awful the mold lines are because I didn't see them at all... But then the action shots let me see them haha! I think you did a great job of redirecting the attention from the mold lines. I wonder if all of that model has such obvious mold lines?

    • @DevsDice
      @DevsDice  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the comment! Yeah it seems like this one was like split into 5-6 parts. Personally I would have preferred it not being transparent since I didn't take advantage of that. Not sure if that affects the production of it hence the amount of mold lines.

      @DevsDice  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am so happy you enjoy the videos! Yeah those "boxes of shame" tend to get larger ;) I think those were from Warlord Scenery. They were called Farm Animals or something like that! Hope it helps! Thanks again! 👍

    Every time people complain about mold lines, I'm just like, "what's the problem?" I even barely see them in my own minis. I don't go all extra with air brushes and all that though, since you barely see detail like what they're complaining about when you're sitting 5 feet away...idk, it just doesn't bother me and isn't that worth it to get worked up about.
