Popular Post Caedrus Posted March 11, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 11, 2019 Caedrus, checking in with a very quick update! So, this month (and the next two 😖) will be super-busy, so my efforts will drop dramatically. Having said that, I finished a vulture: and I've made some progress on my December Acolytes, as well as my Beastman for my '12-month Beastman personal challenge'. Finally, you had all better say hello to Percy. He drinks my paint water. He's not what you'd call a smart cat. Great painting again this month, folks! When I get a chance, I'll swing by and leave feedback. Until then, pat your cat (or goat), and put pigment to plastic! Caedrus. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate painting big surfaces too, to the degree that I actively avoid playing crews with too many capes and big coats! No Bandits or Oxfordian Mages for me. @Boomstick Those fireflies are taaaaasty. I'd leave the wing veins yellow. If you want 'em to pop more, I think you should strengthen the orange lining around them. I'd like to see a wee splash of yellow at the top of the right bicep and perhaps a deepening of the downward facing shadows on the skull head dude, but really that's just icing on a nicely executed cake. @Caedrus Nice definition on those buzzard feathers. Very clean. The base looks comparatively unfinished though - any chance of a final drybrush or two to bring out the texture? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not because he is drinking a lot of paint-water? Very nice your Volture! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted March 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 @misterfinn: Indeed yes. Needs a drybrush, and a few little touches. @Purple Mist: He's a Russian Blue. Gorgeous cats. This one is just a bit thick. @PetitDalek: Gorgeous proxy Asura. The dress with the red to green transition is lovely. Kudos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It give the idea of deep night: perfect for Malifaux where all actions take place at night. Wonderfull shades on the base too! Congrats. And congrats for your assistant: he's huge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted March 12, 2019 Report Share Posted March 12, 2019 @PetitDalek This Molly is à s'taper l'cul par terre! @Caedrus I very much like how you painted the feathers on the vulture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great texture on the dress and colour balancing on the base. The face is fabulous and hair landed a place in my reference folder. Is the scheme a reference to April from the Turtles, or is she a yellow-wearing auburn haired reporter by coincidence? 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Thanks to everyone for lovely comments! I wanted to experiment a bit on the dress. My plan is to make a matching Reva crew in greens and browns....once I buy the box. Tbh, green is there, because I didn't have any other tufts and was eager to finish Molly's...ehm...Asura's skeletons. I had never painted green before, I only have three pots of the colour. @lusciousmccabe I don't know who April is, sorry 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post muraki Posted March 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 So I was psyched to paint some Marcus stuff at the beginning of the month, then my boyfriend played with Marcus and didn't like him much, so now I'm just trying to get through the month / the models I have pinned, ha. Here's what I got so far: Marcus: Myranda / The Jackalope Order Initiates: The group so far: So thats 49 stones for the month so far. I'll see if I can get the Rattler / Cojo / some amount of vogel / crocket done. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 @muraki, clean and brillian colour palette. I like a lot your models. My congrats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 @Purple Mist thanks mist! I was trying for a pokemon trainer vibe with Marcus, as that was the post gencon joke (might as well embrace the meme). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 @murakiI am a big fan of your winged lady, she looks like an anime character. It's nice to see so many different styles of painting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Viruk Posted March 14, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 @muraki - did you get this crew on ebay? I think I saw it there a while ago. The paintjob is nice and clean but TBH I don't really like the miniatures themselves... @PetitDalek - Terrain looks sweet, almost as nice as the cat. I love your take on Asura. The composition is well arranged, and the paintjob is just superb. @Caedrus - very nice job on the vulture, the feathers look great. And your cat looks cute @Boomstick - interesting color choices and they work really well, especially on Adze. @wobbly_goggy - maybe a quick paintjob but nice and clean nonetheless. And have fun working on the fire golem, great mini! @Diddick - great brushwork there. I like how the bright cold color of blade contrasts with dark scheme. And your assistant looks like a very helpful one. @prof_bycid - I like the swampy feel here. @Purple Mist - my cat has a similar "helmet" black fur pattern @Chou - very nice and clean paintjob, this is actually one of my favorite minis from 2ed @Athiko - reminds me of what my workspace used to look like @OctaBit - nice to see more ToS stuff here, especially when it's nicely painted @Franchute - great job on the skin tone. Super smooth! @Nikodemus - I bet painting the Jorogumo is a tough challenge as you probably need to constantly switch your hold to reach all the areas there. @lusciousmccabe - I like your take on Sonnia, much brighter and without the classic fiery look but it works really well. This month has been quite difficult for me as I had to have one of my cats put down this Monday. Tough loss as he used to be my most loyal painting companion Added to that I'm taking antibiotics for the second time in a month... Nevertheless, I did manage to finish my pledge (Cojo and Jackalope ) x2 which brings me to 16 ss More pics and some thoughts on painting the models as always on my blog http://www.whatthefaux.net/2019/03/rumble-in-jungle.html 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted March 14, 2019 Report Share Posted March 14, 2019 @Viruk, that Jackalope looks so small! How did you manage to work such details on it? Great painting challenge, indeed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muraki Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 @Viruk it is the one off off eBay. My boyfriend put in a placeholder bid assuming he'd be out bid and wasn't. I like some of the models, myranda I think is cool and I like a bigger jackalope (tho yours is amazing), but there's parts on the jackalope and Marcus that I just don't like (I really hate Marcus's genie pants). Great work on both your models, it makes my 1/2 finished cojo look like junk (I love the eyebrows ha) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedjy Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 I will have to wake up someday if I don't want to mull this month Anyway, I'm pissed because I've not yet received my pledge for ToS and I don't have much Malifaux remaining to paint. Mostly 2nd or 3rd "if only I want to play another one" models... not what inspire me the most. Also, I'm working on a diorama, but that's not Malifaux to be counted.

PetitDalek Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 @VirukI am really sorry about your cat. They become such loyal companions and part of our daily lives ❤️Your painting is excellent as always. @bedjy If you want to paint my minis, I've got plenty of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
