Phew, running super late on posting my August work... No time to paint at the moment so I get the feeling September could be joker month... Anyway heres the little I did get done in August, excuse the terrible photos.

Ok, count me in. I've been recovering from an operation and using the time to get a little painting done while I heal up. I've got in progress: Collodi Wicked Dolls Yet to start: Marionettes Snowstorm Alps Coming in the mail (soon I hope): Alt Zoraida Avatar Zoraida Dead Justice set

I agree with the comments above about the skin tone, you do a great job. I love the way you paint the stockings on the showgirls. Using a slightly different shade gives a realistic look without looking painted on. I'm also really impressed by your mechanical Doves, did you use pen to do the cards, the lines are super clean! Great work.

Funny you should mention that, I just finished painting a very green insidious madness for the crew. (Which I then played terribly against Lord shaper:sad2:) I've always been a fan of strong colors in my fantasy palette, if I want to paint muted and drab then I generally paint an actual model, like the excellent WW1 models by Peter Jackson's company (Yes he of LOTR) Wingnut wings. That gives me my dose of reality! Anyway, I digress, I have never really painted purples, I might give it a go with Coppelius. It would break the crew up a bit.

Thanks for the comments folks:) For some reason Blue is a color that sits well with me, probably why I went Cult of December for my first crew! Tried to branch out in my color palette with the Neverborn but it didn't take blue long to sneak back in... I enjoy editing my photo's using a free editor called Photoscape and one of the features is the vintage photo pre-set's. I really liked the idea of some steampunk Victorian photographer getting the dreamer to pose for a photo then seeing Lord Chompy Bits in the back of the image as he develops the negative in his darkroom...

Great idea building up the teddy. I was disappointed when I saw the figure in the blister, didn't even think of building him up. I might need to do the same as I want one or two for my neverborn crew.

And a few non neverborn mini's I've been working on to go with my Rasputina crew. I get the feeling the Student of Conflict is about to get a nasty surprise...

Well I figured it was time to put some of the painting I've been doing over the last few days up. I generally hate taking photo's of miniature's as it brings up all the imperfections in my painting, and as these are being done quick and easy to tabletop standard there are more than a few imperfections... To fit the sort of Malifaux theme I used some photo effects to really give the feel of the time and what it would have been like as a photographer in Malifaux... The bases on the neverborn aren't completed as I'm still tossing up a couple of ideas in my head...

Looking good, I expect Mcmourning to have more blood on him after Monday

As much as I love Hamlin I dont know how much I'll be using him for a while, I'm keen to try a couple of different Rasputina combo's and I'm not sure how he'll fit... Almost finished painting Ophilia as well, so maybe some Gremlin action coming up! I'm quite keen for MOAB on Monday, I just dont know that I'll be free... Fingers crossed!

Cheers for the comments, I'm just north of Chatswood on the shore. Moab sounds interesting, whats the go?

Hi folks, As a long time occasional painter I was introduced to Malifaux by Lord Shaper who knew I painted but also that I always sought diversity of subjects. I started painting on and off in the mid 80's but until Malifaux I have never been a game player, however a limited figure game is perfect for me so I decided to jump in by grabbing the Rasputina box and a couple of mercenaries who I liked. Since then I have also started painting Ophelia's gremlins and look forward to seeing how they play.
