I actually have no idea what game/etc that model is from. My work buddy, who is also into models, brought up a bunch of his random models and told me to pick some out to paint (also use to proxy). I like the way it turned out . Blu-tac/sticky tac is on my list for things to pick up next time I hit the store. I was just making do, to have something to put it on to take pics lol.

My latest model. (My Malifaux box sets are being delivered tomorrow!!)

I appreciate the tips guys! First, I can't believe I painted his lips as teeth. I could have sworn they were. Ofcourse, after you pointed it out, I can see it. Oh, well. My painting skills are definitely a work in progress. I understand what you guys are saying about higher contrast. I think my issue is I don't take into consderation the distance they will be on the table. I have tried constrasting colors for some of the more prominant highlights, and I always find myself saying "That looks goofy". So I end up muting them, and making them look more like I think they would look "in person". Lighter and darker shades of similar colors etc. I am working on it though, and forcing myself to try different ways and techniques. In an attempt to further my education, and eventual skill, I always try to apply advice other, more experienced, hobbyists share with me.

Thanks for the reply! First, I really appreciate the suggestions! I do use ink in my washes, and I do highlight. Unfortunately, I noticed the pictures ended up looking rather flat. I found out the hard way that trying to capture detail in the models with a crappy camera is nigh impossible. The highlights look nonexistant. They truly look a bit better in person. I do definitely need to work on my contrast, and I try to try something a little different on every model I paint (using various techniques I've seen in tutorials) until I find something that works for me. At the moment I prime, basecoat, wash (color depends on the model), dry brush to add dimension (attempting to take into account theme), then highlight the points I think light would reflect on. I know my technique is still lacking. I'm hoping with more models under my belt, I will see more improvement.

(I just noticed I posted this in the wrong section. I apologize! If a mod would like to move this to the showcase section I would appreciate it) Hello all! I'm new to miniatures in general, but I'm really enjoying all aspects. A friend of mine started getting me into a game that will not be named. So, I bought a few models, codexes etc. I really enjoy painting and playing, but...then I started reading about Malifaux and I really loved their models. To add to that, my wife saw the Malifaux models and listened to me talk about the game. Now she is interested and "maybe" wants to try playing it, as well as try her hand at painting them. Sooo, guess who wins that debate? My wife or my friend? We are buying our Malifaux models in a couple weeks! Anyway, what follows is my first few models I've painted so far. I know they aren't great, but I would love some criticism (be gentle ) and tips. (hopefully I upload these correctly, if not bear with me) The first one i painted: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/yit78rrzlfgc5am/VqK0XA0c8H https://www.dropbox.com/sc/ejye90ce6dqrlh9/w7ZIpKqnWF https://www.dropbox.com/sc/dpxhugaeoxff8me/U0MqzZPzqX The others: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/xhrcu1rfdlijive/YXgjK0nTov
