I can also say that all three models are beautiful. If that helps at all.

This is the famous ghetto jug.

AWESOME SAUCE! I just so happen to be near the end of a gallon of milk. Thank you.

First, may I suggest you build a cheap light box for photographing your minis (even a gallon milk jug with the bottom cut off will improve results).

Do you know of an article or tutorial online that would give me further details about what you mean? Currently I'm just using my phone and the best key and fill light I can muster.

Thank you guy so much for all of your feedback so far.

Google Drive is working properly now so I'm going to jump back to the beginning. Here's the first Malifaux figure I did almost a year a go now.

Tuco is a pretty straight forward sculpt with little need for assembling so I did him first to get my feet wet. Before this I'd been doing a few old minis from board games or Reaper minis for DnD games, but nothing that I wanted to really spend time on.

Mostly I just spent time worrying about making his coat look sexy. Once it came to his skin I wanted to do something that would pop out against the brown and black so I opted for a pale purple instead of the red from the concept art. I'm not super happy with it now but it was definitely the best I could do at the time.

Thoughts?

The hair and cloak are slightly different colors, but it doesn't read at first glance (or in a photo). I did a standard grey and white with the fur but a Privateer Press Frostbite as the main color for the hair.

I'll fully admit I have a problem wanting to do "realistic" colors which ends up being a lot of muddied colors like browns and a greys. I'm working on the base Nephilim and I'm hoping to get away from that tendency by using brighter purples, blues, and pinks. I just started putting together the new Young and Mature sculpts and man are they crazy detailed... and so tiny.

Next up is the Convict Gunslinger who I bought to help backup my favorite swamp hag.

I came up with the idea of using the dolls that came with her model on her mercenary models to help add some cohesion to the crew and the idea of a hardened murderer carrying around a doll with him everywhere lead me to thinking of the Convict Gunslinger as Fwank from the "classic" Playstation game Loaded. That's how he ended up with ***** paint and orange pants (anachronism be damned).

Again, I'm pretty damn happy with the skin tone. The darker parts of the scars fades into the rest of him a little more than I wanted, but the highlights pop enough that I think it still reads.

I'm also pretty happy with the ***** paint. I was worried that the black ink wash would take too much color our and make the recesses to dark, but no. It just works.

I also experimented with some of Citadel's new paints, specifically Typhus Corrosion. It's meant to show wear and tear on metal, but given it's added texture and dark brown base I figured it would be a good stand in for mud. After a quick highlighting of a tan-brown I think it did the trick.

I've been painting minis on and off since I was in my early teens, but it wasn't until about 2 years ago that I go serious and started doing highlights and washes and stuff.

I just wanted to get people's feedback and/or suggestions. So lets get started. :-)

I was going to start with the earlier work and catch up to now, but my Google Drive is acting up so I'm just throwing up what I've got.

Zoraida is what got me started playing Malifaux, because I really liked her design and I liked the idea of Wyrd's only topless model being a saggy old lady. I've grown tired of pointlessly naked hot chicks (I'm looking at you Reaper).

I'm really happy with her face and skin tone, even though it came out more orange then I wanted. Previous skin tone attempts on other models has been... less than satisfactory. So YAY!

There are a few things I'm not happy with but I had to stop myself from picking at every detail or I'd never finish her.
