Reporting in for report. From vacation, can take better pictures when home again. Will also look at all other picture then. Postcard end

I think i just don't paint for a while, also don't look at your instagram, cause there is too much proof that other people are painting. Read the fluff, play the Game, or watch some videos about painting with different stuff then you have tried before. Also i have a regular (3 out 4 weeks) weekly painting session with 2-4 people which always helps to smooth over the rough holes in my motivation, cause you sit, you talk, you paint something, cause people.

i think it looks good enough for me what i am still thinking about what to do to make the stand even darker / less visible, weren't there some light absorbing pigments around ?

Hello everybody! This is the August Thread. Paint a lot of miniatures and Post Photos here. This months masterclass is Relaxation. Try to take it easy and don't get swamped by all the heat weather and life wise, paint some minis, have a good life cheers Hagen p.s.:If you are new to the challenge and what to know the ins and outs - Everything you need to know for the Challenge is right HERE.

Okay i have got 37 Soulstones for July an that's me.... lots of stuff to do in real life, online Play and Reallife Tournaments, so not as much time to paint. thats it fotr July i guess

Yes somehow they felt a bit off to paint, can't really put my finger on it though. Some Parts were also quite hard to reach on them

Whats the bottom Mini?

Nice Paintjobs! You can link your imgur Pictures here with the direct link provided by imgur, if you are not sure which type of link to use click on one of my pictures

July has facing me several challenges Timewise, not least of which is cataloguing (?) my 40K Collection to sell them off and make Room for more Terrain, so i can hold 12 man Tournaments in my garden without borrowing stuff I'll be either painting Zipp and his Crew or Rest of Oni and/or all the titles that are starting to build a little group of their own on my desk. I have built primed and based all of my Malifaux Minis. I have two Outcast, Two Explorer and 1 1/2 Thunders Keywords to go before completing all three factions. I Hope i can call it quits after and stay with those factions to focus more on Tournaments and Community Building. Probability is i start Bayou though Have a nice one everybody

Okay i got some stuff done despite Health playing up a bit this month Pictures are not supergood but you probably get the idea Kirai Title for 15SS Corpse Curator Proxy for 0SS? And i painted my whole Freikorps, for 106SS, so i'll cash out with 143 SS maybe i tdo better photos some day Have agood start into July!

I always thought Yellow to Green with a glow for thr Plague Keyword

i'll be honest a this point, before this becomes a post about 3D Markers (zzzZZZzzz), if you are in doubt, give us a picture, then we just decide on the basis of that? I mean if you don't meet your pledge otherwise, sure do markers. Before you paint them a word from experience: don't use markers you cannot stand models on precisely (Schemes for example with protruding 3D Logos are bad), you cannot actually play proper Malifaux with those

Haha you painted a smurf! why would you do that? you are in heaven. Don't dip your feet into hell. Hardline highlighting Spacemarines is not any better after 400 of them, believe me. It also doesn't matter which colour you paint them in, they are basically bricks. Looks good and clean though.

On a sidenote, as everyone posted their Flower and Showers stuff in the May Post: If you are late with posting your pledge, or have kept a super secret painting project hidden from the eyes of mortal people: If it's later than the third day of the new month, just Post everything in the new Month's Post. This will allow for an easier transition

Very tasty stuff, nicely done Sidenote: if it's beyond the 3rd of the next month, just Post your stuff in the current Post

My first entry for June are thos two gentlemen: which i rather like. Now I am gonna touch this months Masterclass Theme on a model to model basis because of the variance that i have in Workflows. With those two Gentlemen, i started out by priming Black, and then doing 3-4 Airbrush Layers dark grey to pure white to set lighting. After that i set aside the colours that i was sure i wanted use which amounted to like 15 Pots and started Airbrushing what i thought i could do without strain. this amounted all the blue/violet smoke on both models as well as both models main clothes colour. i did multiple layers of each colour, mixing to create the transitions. i often feel that doing finer details with an airbrush creates more work than it does do, so i switch to brush at this point and block out all the other colours (Skin/hair/shoes/gloves/buttons/staff/glasses/shirts/ties) Then if i really like a miniature, like those two, i go back with the original airbrush colours, mix them with darkblue or violet or black ink and reinforce all the dark shadows, which i always feel brings the original idea back way better than highlighting does. than i painted shadows on the rest and highlighted everything by mixing with ivory/white/skin/lightgrey. I went back with white and did highlights on the blue stuff and glazed them over with the original colours to get more variance. I think i painted stuff with some sort of pink or other. i then painted the bases by applying contrast paint and drybrushing the one, while i just painted random patterns on the other with stuff that was on my pallet for the other base, which was the most fun thing to do. and done hope this is not too boring to read, have a sucessful and awesome june everyone

that is so overpowered our lips are sealed shut , GL on the paintjobs and GL in the Tournament

For me as a photography Noob i always feel that the white background makes the photos look more professional overall whereas the black makes the Miniature look better than it actually looks in real life. I have the impression that minatures with lower overall contrast/valuedifference look better on black, while if you have extrem highlights white works just as well (or better). While that is of course totally subjective oh btw @TimH i really love the Lady Yummy Base, gj

Wow we are approaching the half Time of this years show. On a personal note i am very happy about the awesome work and Contribution of everyone, it's pretty much mindblowing Take Care to fill out your Soulstone reportforms everyone @Shock & Awe and myself will have a look for gaps at the end of this Month i guess. For this months Masterclass's then, i would like to adress the methodology if painting a miniature. This might seem metaphysical, but i have always taken that as the most important bit from most tutorials, the HOW to order the different steps to get a good result, so if you guys would share your workflow (maybe do pictures) i know that some of you have hidden whole decks of Cards up their sleeves As for my Pledge, i will paint in some stuff that we need for our next videos and then continue Oni Have fun and good luck to everyone!

Okay i lied i took my Painting stuff with me on Vacation Finished the two guild Ladies before i went for 20 Soulstones And for some reason managed to paint a large Part of my Oni Crew. Everything rather quickly done, but lovingly and while drinking beer. For 48 Soulstones So i'll Highscore at 71+20+48=139 Soulstones as i go on the next short Vacation, where i sadly can't take my minis

This took a while, enjoy though

Congrats Mate, that is indeed the No.1 Lady J i have seen so far. Very Tasty i think someday you will have to a tutorial video for us mortals Makes me very happy to look at those pictures

I think if I ever finish to paint the Crew, i am going to start by playing Levi with Servant of Dark Powers +Totems Alice Marlena Ashes n'Dust a Scavenger and 1 Slot for something flexible (or two, depending on Soulstone value)
