But she is finished in time! c&c always welcome!!! Thanks!!! Good job! For c&c, skin and wings jump out at me as having potential for some easy improvements. Starting with the skin, it's fairly flat. Did you wash it? I think even just a single redbrown wash would improve it a great deal. Especially if you're more targeted with a wash. Having strong shadows on the neck and cleavage in particular make for a good look, I find. Her hands seem to not have any muscle detail for wash to cling to, but you could apply a wash on their undersides, leaving the top facing parts brighter. Simply applied targeted shadows like that can improve the look of a piece quite a bit. As for the wings, you've got a pretty nice colour gradation going. Thumbs up for that. But I think you could've gone further. Rather than stopping at orange, you could've gone for dark red at the roots. And brighter yellow on the tips, or even pure white just at the very ends. And if you've got the skills/tools for it, maybe even draw a dark line between each "strand", although I could imagine that going overboard easily. I singled out skin and wings, but in general I'd encourage you to work more on your value contrast (ie. darker shadows, brighter highlights). You can go quite far in that respect and it'll still look good, at least I think so. You did good though. Her hair and coat in particular👍. But you asked for cc and I think there's room for you to grow better. I hope this was of some value 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 Ha, looks like I got handily beat on SS by @Thedeadclaw. Good work. @Caedrus After looking at the rules, I guess those proxies count since they're wyrd models so I'm at 109 (not that it matters too much, hehe).

Purple Mist Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 @Caedrus, hope you did like the couple of videos I uploaded to document the way Metal Colourshift Paints. The last pictures I posted can by themself show the way Colourshift paints work. Now my question is about the possibility to use them for non metal surfaces/models. What about using them to paint a dragoon skin or Nephilim wings. And what about using these paints for a shining silk dress? Comments and suggestions as regard? Any way to cut off the metallic effect while keeping the colourshift effect working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 @Purple Mist On the metallic parts of the horse: the shadows look like purple/pink, is it because of the surrounding light? Or because of a paint you put in the shadows? Love it by the way! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or because of a paint you put in the shadows? For sure PC screen setting can alter the way colours are reproduced. For example, I see evident differences looking my posted pics on different PCs/screens. Then, for this final pictures I used my foto-box where at least 4-5 lamps provide lateral and up lightining while sun profides a frontal light through the window. But that, the paint I used (Dark Blue) has two "components": the Blue and the Red. As a result the visual effect shifts from dark purple (when the light angle of incidence is low) to strong blue when the light is more direct with an angle of incidence close to 90 degrees. All that produces the shades you properly described: direct spikes of light make the surface of a bright blue; shadowed areas (that to say spots not directly lightened or lightened with low angle of incidence) look dark purple. It's also true I washed the metal surfaces with a black wash (GW Nurn Oil). Such washing provides the usual 3D effect darkening deep areas and recesses, but washes do not change the shifting range of the primary colour (Dark Blue).

Popular Post Viruk Posted February 27, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 @Polar43 - wood looks great, keep it up and make a push, one more day @Purple Mist - Now the mount has extra magical feel to it, great looking base too. @Stranglelove - I like the way orange body of the human form works with orangish highlights on the portal. Nice work there! @prof_bycid - good work there. I can suggest glazing/washing the eye with light brown ink as it seems to be standing out too much in contrast now. @emiba - nice work on Vincent too, I like the pattern on his pants. @muraki - I really like the cartoonish style @khilin - really solid paintjob. You may try to give some more depth to her skin by washing it down with skin tone and then picking out the highlights. @Thedeadclaw - now that's what I call a productive month! As for my pledge, I managed to finish two Saboteurs for a total of 18ss this month. I've been ill and needed to take antibiotics so progress was much slower than I'd have preferred. As such, Cherry Bomb will be part of my March pledge. As always, more detailed pics can be found on my blog. http://www.whatthefaux.net/2019/02/orange-saboteurs.html Great work everyone and see you all in March 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetitDalek Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 @Viruk I need a dropped-my-jaw-to-the-floor reaction smiley! Amazing job, those blues are so vivid and those orange coats with mud are top notch too. Did you use pigments or just paint? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polar43 Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Viruk thanks!!! I ruined it though in my attempt to finish the golem and gamin quickly. Too much wash has destroyed the effect, but its allowed me to be within an hour or two of completion which ill do today. Lessons learnt for the nightmare edition when i paint it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post PetitDalek Posted February 28, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Caedrus Hello, here's my completed pledge for 30 SS (3x5SS for terrain, 5SS for Poltergeist and 5x2SS for midless zombies posted earlier). Here's my Poltergeist! At first, I wasn't fond of the model and got her only to complete the crew, but she grew on me and I became a big fan. I painted her as a spirit coming out of water. In my head, she is a women drowned as a witch and now she haunts the place of her death. The tombstone glows, whes she's out. It's been a long time since I made terrain and it was such a pleasure to work on these. The pigs and ducks are from the Warlord animal kit that's a great bargain. Unfortunately they are true 28mm, so a bit small compared to Malifaux models. I am working on a farm to go with these, it's a part of my March pledge 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primate Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 Ok. Completed this about a week ago, but not had a chance to post them so I'm going to sneak in before it shuts. (With/without flash) Layering has yet to properly click for me, and I ended up being a bit frustrated at points with what was going on here. But it's done. Just need to try something a bit different next month. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scatterbrain Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Caedrus Mobile Toolkit for 3 ss. I couldn't glue the wee bugger down as I only recently decided which fancy bases I want, and they haven't yet arrived. It's going on cobblestones, similar to those which @Viruk used with the orange coated Saboteurs. After he gives me a step-by-step of how to achieve the amazing multicolour effect, that is. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 @Viruk, the giant ice mini you painted looks like an Avatar, if I'm not wrong. May be a first version metal figure....... Did you painted it from the perspective on a Malifaux minis collector or are you really using Avatars when playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said it was a commission for @Scatterbrain if I understood correctly. Official tournament rules allow you to use avatars as a proxy for Emissary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted February 28, 2019 Report Share Posted February 28, 2019 2e they're legal Emissary proxies. 3e official stance is unknown (far as I know) but I know I will be using my Marcus Avatar as an Emissary, at least for Marcus crews Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
