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... I'm sorry for your cat. I have the same problem: after the flu, I'm at the second antibiotic cycle but my cought is not giving a truce.... a thing that does not help painting! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 @Viruk Sorry to hear about the cat and your ill-health. Good to see it's only brought your output down to "well above average" in terms of quantity and the quality is as good as usual. @Purple Mist Your sick too? Is it catching, should we put a warning at the top of the thread? 😀 Nice job on the ware piles. Particularly like how you used the darker wood colours to break to he pieces up. I have the same set and they're a bit too uniform the way I did them. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only trouble I noticed with this set are the spots where barrels, crates and sacks melt each other. I tried to mask the issue using a very dark paint to give the idea of a shadow eating any detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misterfinn Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 @PetitDalek The model looks good all by itself, but that basing takes it to a new level. Your terrain-making skills are serving you well! I particularly like the color choices on the dress - it looks very natural but I'd never have thought to use the brown and green together in the way you've done it. Kudos. @Viruk Man, you just don't quit with the beautiful models. Seriously, I have no C&C at all. I do have questions though! I like what you've done with the water bases. Did you freehand the submerged plants onto Cojo's base and then pour the water effect over it, or are they actually modeled? What brand of water effect did you use? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's basically Vallejo still water applied in layers (after each one has dried fully) with different shades of green. I used Tamya cear paints for the mixes and a little Nurgle rot. I applied a layer and then dabbed at it with a brush loaded with brighter shade mixed with Vallejo Still Water, trying to create a random pattern. In the end I gave it two thin layers of V Still Water for the extra glossy effect. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post wobbly_goggy Posted March 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Please excuse poor photo quality. I couldn't borrow my girlfriend's superior phone as she was out, and I can never get lighting done well, plus I don't have much space to take photos ANYWAY I am fairly pleased, he looks a bit better IRL, and def less blurry. The metal brazier type bits were unbelievably tedious and precise to paint. BUT... that's 9SS extra and 17 for the month, hurrah! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post misterfinn Posted March 15, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 So here's more WIP...but first, a micro-rant. It really bugs me that most sculptors out there are unwilling/unable to sculpt muscles on strong women. I mean, look at this awesome photo of the Gina Carano/Cris Cyborg Strikeforce weigh-in from 2009: Different builds, same weight class. Both of them look like they could swing a Relic Hammer at Stat 7 for 3/4/6 damage though, right? Because they have MUSCLES. It takes some serious core to swing a hammer that big. So since the Miss Deed sculpt looks more or less like a cylinder with a belly button hole poked in it, I figured I'd try to fix it with paint. The first try ended up in the Simple Green. The second try looks a lot better: My attempts at freehand in the past have been frustrating but I'm pleased with this. Trompe l'oeil is somehow easier to paint for me than patterns or designs or whatever. Now to paint the other 90% of the model... 16 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gloomy Posted March 16, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 Some great work being posted this month! I've been struggling to find the time to paint as I have a lot on, but I managed to get some coats down on the Warped. I also did some bases for my ECB Black ops 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 @misterfinn I salute your research and you did a great job on the painting. With a few exceptions, Malifaux female sculpts tend to have the same body shape. @Athiko The base starts great, I like the mixed textures.The brick sheet looks useful. Where is it from? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted March 16, 2019 Report Share Posted March 16, 2019 @PetitDalek I got the brick sheets from a model shop in central London, can't remember the name, I think it was 4D models maybe? but I've seen it online from ebay and other model shops its very thin so i had to mount it on some thick card to give it a bit of volume above the sand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OctaBit Posted March 17, 2019 Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 @Viruk Thanks for the kind words! And I have to say, that's probably the best painted fur that I've ever seen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lusciousmccabe Posted March 17, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 17, 2019 Finished off Sonnia. Pretty minimal change since that last wip. Overall I'm quite happy with her. Could have done more work on some areas but felt this was a good stopping point. And a group shot of her with her whacky witchlings. Edit: hope these pictures aren't crazy big or small. My computer's broken so I'm working solely from my phone. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
