Seth III Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Hi, this is my first post in miniature showcase section.. These miniatures are my first Malifaux pieces. I like Nephilim miniatures very much (blue violet skin, wings, nails and talons). What else could you want ??? Bases are self made (and WIP currently). Cork for primary structure, filled with Milliput where needed. Self sculpt ruined floor on the top and here and there. I haven't decided which kind of vegetation put on them. I'll paint some other pieces before and then I'll choose. Matt Varnish applied at the end of painting process. Terror Tots: overview #1 (front). Terror Tots: overview #2 (front). Terror Tots: overview #3 (up). Terror Tots: overview #4 (rear). Terror Tot #1: closeup. Terror Tot #2: closeup. Terror Tot #3: closeup. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Really smooth colors on the Tots. The bases are really nice too. All in all, great models! I can't wait to see more from you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! My next model will be a Young Nephilim. I'm not sure if I'll follow an identical scheme blue/violet for the flesh. Next step of evolution in my mind require a small different skin. Blue oriented tones fit perfectly I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Math Mathonwy Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Oh my, these look amazing! The bases look seriously great, the skin tones are super smooth and the blades are absolutely top-notch! Really well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antebellum Posted April 24, 2015 Report Share Posted April 24, 2015 Really nice work. And I'll echo others in that the skin is so smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth III Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Thanks for the appreciation! For the skin I used a couple of colour, mixed together (VGC Wolf Grey and VGA Alien Purple). Then I applied light and shadows adding more Wolf Grey and Alien Purple + VMC Black. After these steps I used Black Glaze for deep recesses and then VMC Dark Prussia Blue Glaze and VMC Purple Glaze. Result was a smooth transition from shadow area to light area. Last step of light and then another Glaze where applied.. A very limited palette but I think this is a great choice if you want a certain result. Only first step of light and shadow was done by airbrush. Last light, correction and all glazes were done by brush (and many hours of patience ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spectrehorseman Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 wow- I just got done painting my own terror tots and yours blow mine away. REally smooth transitions here. Did you use glazes for that? Damn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth III Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 wow- I just got done painting my own terror tots and yours blow mine away. REally smooth transitions here. Did you use glazes for that? Damn. Yes, I used 3 different glazes to obtain these transition from shadow to light areas. I create my glaze as follow: - 1 drop of colour (VGA Alien Purple + VMC Black 3:1, VMC Dark Prussia Blue, VMC Purple); - 1 drop of Vallejo Glaze Medium; - 1 drop of W&N Flow Improver; - 3-4 drops of water (according to the colour density); I used wet blending technique to applied three glazes at the some time and smooth them together.

spectrehorseman Posted April 27, 2015 Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 well, I must get me some flow improver I have been experimenting with putting one drop of liquid dish soap in my water cup and it helps keep the paint from drying so fast so you can wet blend, but its not too long that you have to sit there and wait. I can't remember where I read that tip but it works great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth III Posted April 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2015 If you want try flow improver you can buy Reaper Master Series Flow Improver or W&N Flow Improver. I used only the second one but I read good review also for Reaper Master product. I bought W&N because I live in Italy and in my contry I can't find Reaper Master produts. Both are use in combination with acrylic paints. Liquid dish soap works well in some cases but isn't a specific product. I prefer use a dedicated flow improver.

AndyP. Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Hello!!!! Really nice models!!! Hope see you to one of our tournament to see them on tabletop XD Waiting for more wonderful work Regards from Italy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth III Posted April 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2015 Hi all, below you can view my last miniature. A Young Nephilim. I'll paint the other version of this model in the future. Currently I need only one of them for my crew. I lowered the painting level a bit. Terror tot's skin was more glazed and blended than this one. I want my crew completely painted in two months. In the past I found more accuracy and "perfection" in my paintjob but so I can't complete any game army.. Only some small unit or hero were done. I prefer a good compromise for paint level and crew's overview. The base isn't finished. Flock and vegetation will be added. 4 hours of painting from beginning to finish (base included).

tinfoil Posted May 1, 2015 Report Share Posted May 1, 2015 Dang, if this is a "lowered paint level...." Looks damn fine. I like the pale coloration, too. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth III Posted May 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2015 Thanks I'm working on Cherub. For this model I'll use same Terror Tot's skin colour but for wings I'll choose another one. I don't know what but I think a grey/blue works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
