Okie dokie, first things first, you need to get yourself a lightbox. Even with a camera phone, a lightbox makes all the difference in the world in terms of showing off detail and not having a cluttered look to the pic. That in turn makes it much easier for people to critique your work and give advice. ANYWAY, onto what I see: Lucius Crew: They look rather plain, I don't see many shadows, and the pooches need to be pushed a lot more in terms of shades and highlights. Lucius: You have a super solid paint job going on with him. The brown looks leathery and awesome, but like you said you're a bit uninspired and you'll maybe go back and highlight more. I say that is the direction you want to go. From the looks of it you have a base color and a wash with possibly the base color reapplied. That's way cool for TTQ, but you my friend are better than TTQ, so push yourself a bit more with your highlights. I also hope you work on his legs and feet more, it's way too white. Showgirls: I love where you are going with these ladies and the cool white always looks good with the blue shades. Work on the skin a bit more. If you look at human skin, there are a lot of tonal qualities. I for example have a pinkish quality to my skin, when compared to a friend of mine who has a more yellow cast to her. I think adding a wash and highlighting up a few more times on the skin would make them look a bit more realistic. My only other issue is with the back of Colette's jacket. the transition from blue to white is just a little too stark for my tastes.

Thanks for the encouragement! It keeps me motivated to paint.

Thanks for the advice. I'm planning on going over her again with some more white and getting rid of her black eye.

Yeah I agree. I love the look of the black and white and as a an old film buff, it makes me love the figure and painting her even more

Hey guys, I finally picked up a crew and started painting First up is young miss Woe. I loved the black and white look I saw someone else do, so I did my best with the same theme. I have some touchup work to do for sure. More to come Suggestions and CC are very much welcome

That is absolutely amazing. Props for your freehand!

Brilliant idea!

They also make bamboo place mats that might work as well

Hey all, My name's Andi, I'm pretty new to wargaming and I am completely in love with the Wyrd sculpts. I currently have a set of the zombie dogs that are waiting to be painted, but I adore the bayou gremlins. Currently I'm living in Ontario, but in less than a month I'm moving back home to SE Wisconsin. Looking forward to slowly amassing a Wyrd collection.
