EricJ Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 He's actually quite hunched, perhaps that shot doesn't show it as it's front on. Truth be told, he's even more leaning forward than you see in this shot, because I actually liked him standing up a bit more, so I bent his legs back a little to get him more upright. Just personal preference I suppose. And thanks about the painting review! I haven't painted very much in the last few years as Malifaux seems to have taken all my time lately, I'm a bit rusty, but I'll do my best on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of which, when are we going to get to see some paint on ol' LCB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Figure I'll post a shot every night for the next 2 weeks to show the progress. It has paint on it now in fact...and a wash...doesn't look like much yet though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leagionair Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 is there any way to get the mini even though u are not going to gen-con ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Khan Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 is there any way to get the mini even though u are not going to gen-con ???? IIRC the "new stuff" post said that you could order it direct from the website during GenCon as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted July 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yes, you can order this miniature from the Wyrd online store August 5-8 only. Or of course pick it up at Gencon, we only have so many that we're bringing to Gencon, but of course, if we sell out at the show, you can always go online back at your hotel and pick one up from the online store...just not quite the same instant gratification.

Wulfen Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Eric, that looks awesome. Can't wait to see your usual epic paint on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambayoshi Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Lord Chompy just has to be all kinds of Terrifying. I wonder what his stats will be like. Will the dreamer be kind of like Kade, and will be able to summon Lord Chompy to him. I will be crapping myself and trying to keep all my crew away from the dreamer if that is the case!

EricJ Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Todays update. As you can see he's gotten primed and actually 1 layer of paint and a wash over most of him, although you can't really tell that in this photo. You can see on the far leg the start of the skintone. I'm going with a Dark color, which is actually bluish (again for some reason my camera is not picking up the bluish tones...need to adjust white balance). Then I'm doing a rather severe transition to a bright tone. This type of style tends to make the eye think the model is in a dark area with one single, rather harsh source of light, which can be a streetlamp or the moon, but definitely not out in the daylight. Also that the skin is rather reflective, or slimy, which I think is a nice feel for this guy. I'm going to for the look of this model almost appearing as a shadow, and of course the dreamer will be happily riding the shoulder. I've thrown in a Ronin to the shot to give you another feeling of scale. enjoy! Edited July 21, 2010 by EricJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angus Khan Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 The lighting method you mentioned sounds interesting, and sounds like it will suit this model perfectly! Can't wait to see it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q'iq'el Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Lighting is my personal holy grail in mini painting. I'd love to see a step by step blog, especially that The Lord Chompy Bits is such a big model and thus a good example. Recently I've started experimenting with glowing eyes, fiery mouth and smaller light effects like that, but I'm still afraid of going all out.

daemonkin Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Can't wait to see this beastie painted up. And the Dreamer sounds like an awesome Master. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterdita Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hey Eric, great idead for this thread. Your style of painting will look sweet on this. Would you mind noting the paints used as much as you can so those of us scoring at home can try to learn some new combos. For example, what colors did you mix for the base coat and what did you use for the wash. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steam gizmo Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 really nice, liking where this is going. cant wait to see the end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle1.0 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Very nice figure! Thanks for posting him up. As to the accusations that LCB would crush flagstones, one would assume that a creature made of ethereal ectoplasm from the Dreaming would be somewhat light on its feet. :poutcha: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icemantis99 Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I kinda thought it was like ghostbusters... "i tried to think of something that could never, ever harm us!" "... so you went with '12 foot demonic killing machine'?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WookieeGunner Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 For some reason that when I look at that picture I hear the Ronin thinking "Hm, he's big alright. Groin shot it is." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
