WeekendGeneral Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I have recently gotten back into Malifaux through my commission painting. I forgot how much I loved the game and the miniatures. I get to paint more than I get to play though. I am always trying to improve my painting skills, and I feel there is no better way than to put your work out to the wolves. I will try my best to post a new model each week, and through your criticism and feedback I will become an even better painter. That being said, here is my first model for this thread. This is a commission that I recently finished up for my good friend Kylee. I was inspired by Mako's base in the Chronicles, though I went with floorboards and cobblestones instead of the tiles and flagstones. I was asked to do a lighter colored bear, and the rest of her Neverborn crew has purple in it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 That is one amazing Teddy right there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmar3 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 That is great, can't fault the fur, lovely colours and texture. If you want some some criticism, I think the claws could do with a bit more shading around their base, near the fur. But tbh that's just my preference. Good looking base too.

WeekendGeneral Posted February 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 As soon as I posted it I noticed that the claws could have used some more work! It is easy to miss little things when you stare at them for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sigmar3 Posted February 12, 2015 Report Share Posted February 12, 2015 I agree, you go blind to certain aspects lol. Occasionally I need to take a break from a model just so I can come back with fresh eyes, so to speak. It's amazingng what you see sometimes! Still excellent Teddy though.

WeekendGeneral Posted February 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I am on the road for work, but I brought my paints along with me. Turns out that the foam topper makes a decent backdrop in a pinch. I had to buy the new Sonnia Criid box because her new sculpt is so much better than the old one. I was excited to practice my OSL on her. I experimented a bit with color temperature. I used Ghost Grey to highlight everything that wasn't lit by the fire, and Off White to highlight everything that was lit by the fire. It increased the contrast by placing cool colors next to warm ones. The close up is a bit blurry, but you can see the two sides of the mask better here. I did a google image search on lantern light to help me figure out the pattern on the ground. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 That Sonnia is amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 I agree, that is a fantastic sonnia, the experimenting with warm cool, certainly paid off. My only critique is a personal preference in regards to the light cast on the ground from the lantern. I find it a bit to harsh and think a softer warm orange would have been better witll less stark shadows from the from the support bars would have been better. like I said it was a personal preference and a quality piece regardless. Nicely done sir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendGeneral Posted February 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 Thank you for the comments. I forgot to glaze her shadow in, maybe that will help tone down the shadow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeekendGeneral Posted March 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have been slacking on my Malifaux models recently. Too many 40k commissions! Anyways, back to my own crews, I finally finished Lucius. I plan on running him as Guild with a host of Guardsmen. His mask is a challenge for NMM. His base may need a newspaper... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
