Rotokultaxe Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 So I'm coming back to Malifaux after a long break, and I'm very enthusiastic about the new plastics. I decided to go with a new faction, and the new Guild models were just too amazing to pass up (although I've already got my eye on the Neverborn...) I finished Perdita and her papa a few days ago, and I hope I can find enough time to finish the whole crew by the end of december. So here they are (comments and criticism welcomed, as always ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 Nice, but there's something weird about your creases- papa loco's tied arm has a bright spot where there should be shadow; perdita's chest looks strange, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted October 25, 2014 Report Share Posted October 25, 2014 perdita's chest looks strange It's just that she got majority of Justice's package in the transit to M2E. Anyway back on topic, I think they are looking up real nice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted October 26, 2014 Report Share Posted October 26, 2014 So you chose to paint perdita's sash to be part of her shirt or haven't you painted that part yet?Here is a link to the artwork of Perdita Ortega, if the link works that is, https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3720/9310701864_5015cfcb02_z.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you chose to paint perdita's sash to be part of her shirt or haven't you painted that part yet? Here is a link to the artwork of Perdita Ortega, if the link works that is, https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3720/9310701864_5015cfcb02_z.jpg I deliberately chose to make it part of the shirt when I started painting the basecoat. I thought I would have to deal with enough details here and there, plus I wanted the off-white to be a bit more present, as it would tie the crew together (and right now, I don't know if I will be using red on most of my Guild models).

NoHero Posted November 22, 2014 Report Share Posted November 22, 2014 I think they look good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbobovalsocks Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Me too. To be honest I'm surprised at how negative the feedback on your painting is. To my mind it's some of the better work on here. It don't think it matters what the paint scheme in the official artwork looks like, it's up to you what colour you want to paint your models! The creases look fine to me, I can't really see what Spiralingcadaver is refering to but then maybe he's got a better eye for these things than I have (assuming he is a he)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmdl1066 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 It's way better than I could ever do, so I shouldn't say anything...... but I will. The feedback for improvement may be valid, but I'll add to the chorus thinking that because those posts don't also compliment the great work they come off as negative. Which almost certainly wasn't the intent. (And if you're supposed to refer to the artwork to figure out what's going on with the sculpt, you can hardly be questioned for your decision.) I think they're awesome. I would not have thought to make Perdita's jacket and chaps the same color, but it works so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotokultaxe Posted November 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 Well thanks for the kind words, but I don't think the negative comments were harsh in any way. And I enjoy any kind of comments on my painting, it's some of the best ways to improve my skills. I'll probably be able to post some more paintjob in the following weeks (yeah, I'm a slow painter). I'm working on 4 different models at the moment, and I just need to focus on one at a time to get the job done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D6Damager Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 Well done! They look really nice! I think the "white spots" are more due to the photography lighting than the painting as it shows up on the black bases too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotokultaxe Posted December 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Small update: Santiago and the enslaved Nephilim. These were nice models to paint, although Santiago took a lot of time (lots of different textures and colors). Not the best pictures, but here goes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 The wing nubs on the Enslaved Nephilim look fantastic! That's also a fun skin colour.But Santiago - man! He looks awesome! The face is amazing - really love his expression! And the guns look really smart. Maybe one more highlight onto the coat? And something more to the base? A dead tuft or something.

zFiend Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 That Enslaved Nephilim is topnotch. Great work! Santiago looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
