There is some really cool looking moss in my yard that would look great on their bases. Is there any way to use real moss on a base?

Purple Mist Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 @wobbly_goggy Impressed by your greenskin. You did a great job and the face is very expressive. If we consider it's a very small miny you must be proud of your achivements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted April 13, 2018 Report Share Posted April 13, 2018 @wizuriel Painting progress on your jury is looking fine but I also see a mold line all along the left leg. Are you in time to fix that trouble? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a nice looking campfire. One thing to note about the tutorial: flames don’t always go all the way to black. The black tips work here because they suggest smoke. For cleaner burning fire that doesn’t consume a lot of solid material like wood or coal, you want to stop with red or even orange. Laszlo Jakusovszky has the best article on fire theory that I’ve seen. Well worth the read. Digging everyone’s work so far this month!

Popular Post Joachim Posted April 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hey guys, the 22nd of april there is a malifaux event and this time I'm trying to bust out my lady justice crew. Still need to finish some models, and one of them is abuela ortega. I've had the idea (I'm sure I'm not the only one) to paint a dia de los muertos crew after I saw the domadores de cadaveres. Abuela is up first. Here's my WIP, let me know what you guys think. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caedrus Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 @JoachimI'm sure you've seen this excellent dia de los muertos crew, which is just wonderful... On the other hand, yours is much more colourful - beautifully so. Loving the Abuela sombrero. My Perdita crew are done as Steampunk English Gentry, but I really want to redo them as Scots... @misterfinnI'd forgotten about that tutorial. A very good suggestion, that one. So many lovely paint jobs this month... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did and it is pretty amazing. I did go for another style, and the goal is to use very bright colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterfinn Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 @Joachim going crazy with the freehand! I dig it. The little skulls hanging from her sombrero look like candy. 🤤 Looking forward to seeing how your bold color choices carry over to the rest of the crew.

bedjy Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Hey, I know we are not at the beginning of the month anymore, but i have already made some good work i can share with you. In fact, I wanted to finish my manor before doing anything else... So now that it's done, I can share with you what i'll have for April : My manor (didn't count last month, so It will give me 5points this month !) Then 2 sets of Customeeple gardens (5points), 1 komainu (5), 2 flying piglets (8), 1 punk zombie (7), 1 Ohaguro Bettari (8) For a total of 38 points 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shock & Awe Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 (edited) 2nd model done this month, Vintage Misaki for 15SS (bringing the total for the month to 23SS). I am really s**t at taking good, clear photos... so I may try and reshoot this later. First, all credit to Mako for the inspiration on color and style. I don't know if that person is still around, but I used his examples to paint my original Misaki and she's one of my favorite models... so I decided to use the pattern again. (https://pullmyfinger.wikispaces.com/Painting+Misaki+by+Mako) This time, however, I did attempt the freehand cherry blossoms. They came out better than I thought the would. Overall, I love and hate this model. She had way too much exposed skin... and I HATE flesh. I am terrible at it. I also hate her gaping mouth. Ugh. I'm happy with the dress, the blade, and the freehand. I've a long way to go before I can hang with all of the wizards in this thread though... just gotta keep painting! I am really stoked to have the inspiration from all of you. This has been a tremendous resource of ideas! I'm starting in on my Stitched next and I will be using ideas from @Burnin' Coal for the body bits and @Joachim for the glowing eyes. Hopefully I won't let ya'll down **PICS AFTER THIS ARE POST EDIT** Edited April 16, 2018 by Shock & Awe I didn't like the dark picture... So I attempted to take a better one... which one do you prefer? 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 @Joachim man, that free hand on the hat it's crazy skill! Can't wait to see the model completed! And @Shock & Awe that's a beautiful Misaki, great job!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shock & Awe Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 @Chou Thanks man! I put a lot of time into her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 @Chou Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate it! I would disagree that it is crazy skill. It is actually not as hard as it looks. Though I agree it takes a bit of practice to go from "just" coloring and highlighting a model and to go to some free-hand work. I guess it is just a lot of practice and trial and error. If you could see all the failed attempts at free-hand ... 😛 It's actually a pattern that repeats itself and it gives a really awesome effect when you look at it from a distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aa7 Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 Mid month update but it will also be the final update for this month. No more free days left to paint for me this month so all I managed this month was 15 stones for rasputina. While I was hoping to get the ice dancers started Carlos was sitting there glued up and staring at me so he got a first base coat lick of paint too. Next month I will finish Carlos and hopefully get the ice dancers done also. Unsure whether to paint the flames as normal red orange yellow fire or do it more like a magical purplish type flame. Until then here is Raspy and the start of Carlos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bedjy Posted April 16, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 So, here is some work already done. - My Mansion which is finaly finished ! - The Customeeple public garden, finished too 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 @bedjy I'm impressed! The customeeple public garden seems true. I suppose it's even better placed on a playmatt or game table. I please you to post some other pictures, with more details of your Mansion. Windows are very realistic as the roofs. Did you use metal paints for the tower roof? And what about the green spots? Are they just painted or you used stuffs for base decorations? Pleese more picts.... and congrats! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 That Manor is ridiculously good. I really like the garden too--both from a looks and game play perspective. I might need one... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
