Popular Post Curtis Posted February 12, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 Greetings from Wyrd HQ! This thread is to provide you with weekly updates on all of our upcoming new releases. Every Friday I'll post an addition showing you all of the shiny new things I've managed to get my hands on. Up first this week we have Toni Ironsides cosplaying as a member of her favorite scout regiment. And then we also have the cuddliest new addition to our line up, the Spawn Mother and Gupps. These guys are the subject for an upcoming article in the chronicles and will be available soon. That's all for this week. Check in next week to see what else I have for you! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobayashi Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I already said it on a wyrd place. If you kill those gupps, you are a monster. A hideous, souless monster! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guslado Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 So Omni goes and turns his Iron Painter win into a job with Wyrd. Well deserved I'd say! Ironsides looks great (love the Arcanist logo on her jacket!). I am all about the Spawnmother and Gupps, fantastic! Does this mean that big mama will be coming with 3 bases worth of Gupps? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted February 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 It does! She's basically a swamp fiend starter box 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted February 12, 2016 Report Share Posted February 12, 2016 I really like the vivid colors you've used on the Gupps. Big mum looks great too. Congrats on getting a job at Wyrd, it must feel great to get paid for doing something you like 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curtis Posted February 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey Stark, thanks for the praise Toni took me approximately 6 hours. I'm currently in the process of finishing up the rest of her starter as well as a few other goodies. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted February 16, 2016 Report Share Posted February 16, 2016 It took me 3 evenings for one nasty hobbit Judge =____= *threw out all brushes and paints through the window* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Curtis Posted February 19, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 Was waiting until end of day for this one. Here's what I got up to this week. First I finished up the Troublshooters crew: Then I put together the new ashes and dust kit. They're just so angry! That's all for now! Check back again next week where I should have some more shiny things for you 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Curtis, this is stunning work! The OSL effect on magician great and I really liked the Dust! And your speed of painting is outstanding! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 When I first saw the render of new A&D I wasn't impressed. Now when I see your excellent paintjob on it, I've changed my mind. Wyrd should start adding pictures of painted crews on the boxes, they look so much better than the renders (especially when they're painted to such high standard) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morf Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Stunning job on these! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted February 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Update time! This week is a small one with the evil twins Lelu and Lilitu. I am hard at work on another project however. Something big... Soon as I'm allowed to share it with you all I'll definitely be adding it. That's all for now though! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enderwiggin Posted February 26, 2016 Report Share Posted February 26, 2016 Amazing work! I'll keep it to the minimum to save me the effort of liking every single pic, but you nailed these models pictures well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengt Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Focus on the twins seems to be a bit off, possibly on the leading edge of Lilitu's base. The A&D picture is much sharper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted February 27, 2016 Report Share Posted February 27, 2016 Can't wait to pick the twins up when they are released 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Hey Bengt. Yeah, the lighting gave me issues with the twins. I'm still not 100% satisfied with how this pic turned out (I can't tell if it's her whip or what giving my camera problems) but it was the best I could manage after messing with it for the better part of an hour. I might try again in future but for now I have to press on and keep putting out our other shiny things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do your camera have setting named "focus area mode" or similar? If set to manual you should be able to move the [ ] around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tawg Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I never ended up asking, but I'm very interested in what you used to base Toni and crew. Lovely set of bases, they make the whole crew feel so much more alive. If I had to guess, I'd say you used a thin foam-board for the "dirt" and overlying tile texture? With miniature bricks and tufts of grass thrown in for good measure. Scored with an xacto knife for the squared pattern? Just curious, I love the effect. If it's too much to respond here though, I would like to submit a request to have it be a tutorial // article in Chronicles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted March 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 Hey Tawg. Pretty close actually. I rolled out a sheet of sculpy which is an oven bake polymer clay. Once cured I broke it into uneven chunks and scored the flat tops of it with my hobby knife. The tufts are by Army Painter and the bricks were by Secret Weapon. I painted them in an off white using Menoth White and a mix of browns. Once painted I washed a black in multiple layers toward the edges. After, I went over everything with Dark Earth weathering pigment by Secret Weapon. Hope that helps! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just looks like there is a layer about 1mm or so at the top that has a slightly more crisp break and the rest has a more rough texture? Honestly, looking over it more, it may even just be my eyes playing tricks, due to the very extreme edge highlight on the most prominent sharp edges of the material, where the horizontal surface gives out to the slight rise. It's probably just in my head Thank you for the answer though. Always love to see an active (And responsive) painting community. I have to say I'm very thrilled to have you on Wyrd's side. Them supporting painting, and the fairly decent number of great painters here on the forums is very encouraging to see 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curtis Posted March 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Yeah, I just baked it and it breaks apart that way. The thin layer was created by chipping away at the edges with my hobby knife to make it look cracked and dented. I should also have something neat to share today once I hear from Nathan so stay tuned! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
