AdvanceOp's Prefecture

Ok, so the start of my Prefecture.

Heavily influenced by House of Flying Daggers and the Five Rings Dragon Clan.

Lovely warm colours. You've made great use of the details too. Snow on the base really helps bring it all togethet

Warning: May become grumpy when drunk

@Kahunadave: Getting there... less posting to forums and more painting might help me :P

@ Corpsesmith: Thanks mate, yeah the base was going to have to be something other than the usual green, green grass of home with such green models.

@DeathJester: My thoughts when you posted your pictures first :P However was happy that you'd gone the green & yellow where I went near monochrome green :)

Cheers

They're looking really nice so they are, and I see I wasn't the only one to paint mine in the dragon clan colours from L5R

Loving the green, keep it going!

A board set in a bamboo forest would be awesome...

Wow... it's been waaay too long since I added to this thread.. and to be honest waaay too long since I painted any Prefecture. None the less with Iron Dragon just around the corner I wanted to add an easy 50 in case I decide to use them for the ringer... so without further ado here's Mizuchi!

Wow... Prefecture... It's been a long time between painted models.

Here's a WiP for Mikio, and my first attempt at tattoos

Tattoos are harder than I thought. I thought they would be hard, but this was tougher. However, with the Silvermoon Syndicate (Yakuza) coming soon I figured I had best start practicing :)

they look really good, the best advice I can give on Tattoos for painters of our level (I'd say we are in the same ballpark) is don't try to make them look too accurate, suggestive is much better, and this guy has that down:)

The tats on the back look great, a lot like the Volcano of Mount Fuja in the 'Koun no Yama' mountain range. Sitting at the north of the Isle of Wakasu, the land of the Buto and home to the city of Jima and the Silvermoon trade syndicate...

Just saying :)
