Domoto Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Hey all! So I attempted to get into Malifaux back in 1.5 but for various reasons it didn't happen, but I am happy to say I tried again and it's worked out much better this time I am relatively new to painting (have only done about 5 or 6 models over a long period of time) but I grew up around it, I also read A TON about it (techniques,supplies ect) I decided on Gremlins as my faction this time around and am loving it so far, this log will mostly be Gremlin models because of it I am using a Webcam for now which doesn't quite show all of the detail but it's the best I have access to I figured I would start this log now and first up Som'er, I still have the base to do and effects like dirt/mud but most all of the groundwork on the model itself is done and I am pretty happy with how he is coming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brence Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 He looks great! Did you have lots of gap problems with the jaw? The paint job itself is sweet so far! Love the green toning! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domoto Posted July 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 He looks great! Did you have lots of gap problems with the jaw? The paint job itself is sweet so far! Love the green toning! Thanks! yeah I was really happy with the overall skin tone. I had a lot of gap issues with the face and the left side belt. The whole box itself had a decent amount of gap issues in my opinion, was not a joy to assemble (especially those blasted Skeeters ), The whole kit required quite a bit of Green Stuff (the irony!) and fiddling, That being said it's a blast to paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brence Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah I can see the joy you had in painting them up! I'm still looking into getting Gremlins and, as I am not to much of a modeller, checking out the use of Liquid Greenstuff. Wish to see the full thing painted! And offcourse Lenny etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaiuri Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Lovely work, particularly if you are new to painting! I look forward to seeing more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 He looks great, I love the smooth highlights and color choices. It looks a tad too clean at this point but after adding the dirt/mud he will be even better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domoto Posted July 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 Haven't had nearly as much time as I would like to paint, but I have made some more progress. The Bayou Gremlin on the right is mostly done barring the after effects, the left still has a ways to go, but so far I am really enjoying painting these guys 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 That is some lovely work. Smooth as anything, which would be great for someone with a ton of painted models behind them. It's even more amazing for someone in their first dozen paints!. You've got serious talent there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 These minis are awesome and your paintjob does them justice, the skin part looks particularly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Sarcasm) Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Your stuff is a pleasure to look at. Would you mind giving a brief description of your blending process - do you glaze, use a medium (if so which)??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domoto Posted July 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Well, I would say it's a mix of layering and then a tiny bit of glazing where the edges are too hard. For a medium I use a mix of about 60% water, 20% Winsor & Newton Artists Acrylic Flow Improver, and 20% Master Series Paint Drying retarder for all of my thinning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loveless Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Your skin tone is spectacular - nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
