Looking forward to this. And painting frantically in preparation.....

Another vote for the Archer.

And honorable mention for Killjoy: a great take on the figure, very well executed.

Nice work. Your greens are murky, slick and slimy, like swamp algae.  Very atmospheric.

Here's Barbaros, looking for a scrap.

This one seemed to call for a lighter touch. To illustrate the creature's pinioned condition, I carved out the wings a bit, then worked in some general Wyrdery....

One thing I like about this effort is the creature's base: the cobble stones melt along the arc of his sweeping claw, as if the gesture itself is warping the landscape...

 More coming soon.

In the meantime, thanks for looking. Let me know what you think.

Great piece! Love the conversion, and the paint scheme.

Great stuff! Where are these "flaws and glitches" you speak of?

Nice start! I love the bad things oozing out from beneath the floor boards as a base concept (pun intended!).

Killer Pandas! It's Panda-monium!

Nice take on the concept.

Nice! They radiate this icy/eerie aura. Very atmospheric,

Impressive. Looks entirely authentic, and lends a great atmosphere to the piece.

Wow. What fine work!

Did I say, wow?

Very nice!

Nice looking bases, but invisibility isn't going to do you much good if those floorboards creak.

A fun read! An authentically tense, murky atmosphere clings to this story.  And even though nothing exactly "happened"... a lot happened.  Nice work.

Nice. Looks suitably twisted. And twistedly suitable, for that matter.

Just beautiful.

A Hawaiian shirt?

A Hawaiian shirt?!?!  Amazing. Really well done.

Wow, I wish I had your painting skills! Very crisp, and superbly crafted.

Great stuff. I love your clear/color choices. Leaves a lot of the models mostly  opaque and colored.... but clear where the soulstone energy is buzzing. The effect is really evocative.

Nice. I like your strong highlights and skin tones. Very atmospheric.

I didn't wanted to impose anything, it was just a suggestion.

No problem! Suggestions and criticism are always welcome!

Really nice! I love the coloration, and your conversions. And the "shoreline" concept of the bases. Lots of cool ideas here.

Great color scheme, and tight painting. Well done!

Thanks for the ideas. I'm not sure yet whether or how I might texture the tendrils. I'm not even sure I see them as vines, per se, so much as generalized representations of wild, chaotic energy, reminding us that these are creatures from an "other" place, fertile and feral.

So I may just let paint and color get the thing across. I'm not sure yet. I welcome more suggestions on the possibilities. (And reserve the right to stubbornly ignore them! )

Now that some of my seminal figures are taking shape, I’ve begun working on my bases.

Again, the idea here is to convey the “Master of Malifaux” idea. I want Lilith and her brood to be emerging/erupting from the place itself… stepping or crawling or leaping from fissures in the ground.

I decided to work with cobblestones, to create a classically Malifaux/urban/Old World skin of a setting. And then on and beneath those, to graft in bits and pieces of Neverborn birth pangs: vines, roots, tendrils … the wildness  lurking just beneath the surface of the built space.

I started by experimenting with some concepts.

Then tried working in some cobblestones.

(These, by the way, are bases to represent Lilith’s Beckon Malifaux ability. I have a few touches to add, but they’re almost done.)

When I was satisfied with the basic look of the concept, I tried it with some models: a young Nephilim…

... the Cherub...

…and a terror tot, the very print of his hooves warping the ground on which he skates.

I'm making progress on some other models, including Barbaros and a Mature Nephilim.  Will post more soon.

Thanks for looking, and for your encouragement and ideas.

I agree on Nicodem: great stuff! A very effective painting scheme.

Painting looks tight all around too. Vivid and atmospheric. Well done.

Nice stuff! I particularly like the masks.
