lusciousmccabe Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Awesome! I was halfway through painting these models (madnesses) in a similar way but gave up when I couldn't balance the colours out. Totally going to steal a piece of mind off you on the gradients and adding in those creepy fleshtones. Speaking of fleshtones I think your faces in general look excellent. I find it hard to get a good level of contrast and keep things looking natural and you've done that really well, Hoffman and Santiago stand out to me in particular. Mind if I ask what paints you tend to use for your skin-tones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorgas Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Great miniatures, especially the insidious madness! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted August 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 Thank you! @lusciousmccabe: I originally used Coat d'Arms "Dwarven flesh" as a base, shaded with watered down Citadel colour's "Tuskgor fur" and highlighted with Coat d'Arms "Flesh". But since Coat d'Arms paints are really difficult to get a hold of, I have now switched the base to Citadel colour's "Cadian fleshtone". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mortarion Posted September 1, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 New models! First up, the last Sorrow: And a Poltergeist: And finally a group picture of the whole misery family: Go ahead! Make that Wp duel! What could possibly go wrong? 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 @Mortarion I like a lot the contrast between the yellow highlights of the "flames" and the purple shadows of the skin 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mortarion Posted September 9, 2018 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 And now, finally, the master to lead the last couple of models - Pandora! I tried a slightly different colour scheme from the "official" one. Green and purple like the rest of my Neverborn. And purple hair instead of red. I also painted the ghostly energy coming out of the box blue to add some more contract. The colours have more depth in reality than shows up on this photo. And her friend Candy: When seeing pictures of this model I didn't realise just how tiny it really is. The size made it somewhat difficult to paint, but it turned out OK in the end I think. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted December 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2018 It's been a while since I posted anything. I've had a lot to do at work, and my hobby time had gone to other stuff. In fact, it has been so little painting that the Guild decided to send two impartial investigators to find the truth about what happened.After careful investigation we have concluded that the Guild is definately not to blame for the lack of painting. Allthough it might not be clearly visible on the photos, I added a bloody knife to the base, so that she would have something to investigate. I thought a bit about which colour to use for the carpet. A light colour (like in the illustration) would look good and provide some opportunity to paint blood stains. However, I decided that it would also push the model to far into pure comedy territory. If you are going to dispatch of a bloody corpse it is stupid to use a light carpet as the blood would soak through. A red carpey would make that much less obvious. So I went for a red carpet. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted January 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 More models! First up is an Arcane effigy. This one had been sitting on my painting table for a while since I could not decide on a colour scheme. I felt I needed to come up with a colour scheme for Arcanists in general. But after some thinkingI decided to just paint him like my Neverborn instead. My main use for it would be Collodi anyway. And then things became much easier. And a third Bunraku. Hard to get a good picture of this one because of the pose. And finally Master Queeg. The face look a bit strange on the picture because of the light, but it looks better in reality. I wanted to do something with the vest, so I tried to do an embroidered Guild symbol. I wanted it to be quite subtle and I think I succeeded. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted January 27, 2019 Report Share Posted January 27, 2019 The detailing looks amazing on the vest and the effigy's books. Gold embroidery on the bunraku is also a lovely little touch. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Arcane Effigy is one of my favourite Wyrd minis and I think you did it justice. Nice embroidery on Queeg and blacklining on everyone. Bit muted, but that seems to be the style you're going for. Nice, consistent look👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortarion Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Finally done with Hinamatsu. This model has been on my painting table for quite some time while i thought about how to paint it. I really wanted to do this awesome model justice. I'm quite happy with the result. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 As you should be! Love the free hand and the colourful but dark colour palette. Also, I'm certain that gold threading took some work and it was definitely worth the effort! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortarion Posted March 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Thank you. And yes, that gold lining did take some work. But it is one of the details that I am most pleased with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted September 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 So, after a long break while waiting for M3E I am now back to painting Malifaux. This model have been following Lady Justice around claiming to be her totem. It must be a trick, because he looks nothing like the Brutal Effigy. Maybe the new governor is behind this... I thought a bit about the colour of the robes. In the end I settled for beige/sand colour, since it would look impartial and allow the blood to show. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mortarion Posted November 3, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Some new stuff for Lucius done! First, Agent 46. I think that the original model looks a bit boring, so I tried to build something a little bit different. Something that looks more like a gentleman than a soldier. Someone Lucius would send on a mission. I figured the mask and blades would make it pretty clear who it's supposed to be anyway. And then, Alan Reid. With this one, I wanted to get really close to the illustration. It looks so much like a Guild Investigator, so I didn't want anyone getting confused. There are only some small changes. A WIP of Alan. And finally a second Lawyer. I've had this model since I started Malifaux, but never got around to painting it. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mortarion Posted December 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2019 I recently finished the Carver. Cool sculpt and concept. And of course I had to paint blood splatter on the pumpkin face, both to give it more of a horror movie feel and as a reference to the intro of the movie Sleepy Hollow. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortarion Posted February 1, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Hooded rider done! Unfortunately, it's really difficult to get good pictures of it. This is propably the closest to a Games Workshop model that Malifaux gets, so I decided to paint it in more of a GW style with brightly coloured armour. I think it ended up quite well. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 1, 2020 Report Share Posted February 1, 2020 Looks great. Really like the detail on the severed heads. How did you do the base? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
