Stranglelove Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 @Viruk Thank you! Love your crew, especially the cuddly monkey and the happy little jackalope. I think I need to push my highlights, in general. And get a better camera. I also have some pre-release stuff that I'm itching to put together. Gonna be a good (expensive) year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 @Viruk thanks for the positive comment as always. Your marcus crews are seriously impressive, I still love those cereberuses. I'm also jealous that you get to paint some unreleased modes (and see what they look like). I'd be more annoyed if I didn't know you'll do way better with them than I could, ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Wyrd hire you for a commission? I'm so happy for you! If the minis you are painting are as nice as this blue cat, I cant wait to see them! I quickly finished the third gamin yesterday: And a group picture with the other two: @Caedrus this puts me at 24ss. @Viruk thanks for the comments on the gamins. About the dark red: are you refering to the skin parts? Or do you recommend to put some dark red in the red parts of the flames too? I did put some white in the heart of the flames though: should I highlight the body parts as well? Maybe the white will be more visible once I add the dark res as you recommend. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 @Franchute - well, sort of There will be some new minis from me to show when the time is right Regarding the Fire Gamins - now that I look at them, I really like the final effect. What I can suggest though is to play around with fire a little more. Flames rarely look schematic and the colors there can actually be quite chaotically mixed up. So if you feel like playing with the minis a little more, you could try adding a very light touch of dark red to the hair in the recesses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Kimberly Posted May 29, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Last minute mini. Literally went to pack up my desk to move and thought "well crap!" Alt Guild Sergeant. Not the best, but done. Sorry for the silence, packing and prepping for a move has eaten my life! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 I will finish my pledge, Malifaux Rat, probably in the last minutes of May. It is almost finished, but I felt inspired and have been working on Hamelin intensively lately 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gloomy Posted May 29, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Some really impressive painting this month guys, and nice to see some completed crews. @Caedrus for may I've completed Fenton Brahms (15), 5x ECB Black Ops (25) and a Raving Madman (5) Total for May = 45 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Great job everyone, this thread is a real motivation! @Viruk, it's very cool that you get to paint new models, I cannot wait to see them. I did better than last month. I finished BEFORE the last night of the month I enjoy painting Gremlins, they are small and the green skin is fun. The only problem was Ophelia's face, she has no sculpted nose and basically no sculpted eyes, so I had to improvise. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stranglelove Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 @Wintergloom Yay Cult of the Burning Man!! They look great @PetitDalek Sweet Ophelia! Are you gonna work on the Young Lacroix. My father's been painting them and they have such great sculpts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caedrus Posted May 30, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Caedrus, reporting in! Well, what a month! So many gorgeous works. Where to start? @PetitDalek: You’ve done a great job on your facial reconstruction surgery! For me, though, I love the gentle orange and red tones in the Ophelia’s skin (and nice, shiny hair, too!). @Wintergloom: I do love your style. I think that my favourite bit of your style is the contrast between the desaturated and the saturated (like the turquoise highlights), and your gentle contrast work with fabrics. Just lovely brushwork. @Phinn: I’m awaiting the Rat of May! Looking forward to the character you’ve put into this rodent! @Kimberly: Pamela Poovey doesn’t have red hair! @Franchute: Gorgeous, mischievous gamin! For me, the thing that really sets these models is the hint OSL on the skulls on the base. Very smooth. I also love the peeking-eye on the riotbreaker. @Viruk: I’m terribly envious, of your cohesion in the Marcus set, the gorgeous paintwork (love the face in the Marcus treestump), and that you get to play with some early releases. Wyrd chose a good painter to showcase their models. You’ll do them tremendous justice. @Rathnard: I think that good scenery and terrain is the most underappreciated part of the hobby. You’ve created some beautiful models, and just as beautiful a place to play! Kudos! @Stranglelove: There’s so much to love on your (huge) efforts this month! I think Jaakuna is my favourite (the zombie just breaching the swamp is wonderfully horrifying!). The Kirai set is magnificent. @Nikodemus: That domador is a very kind gift! My fave this month has to be Chiaki, though. A fantastic desaturated paintjob. @bedjy: That is a serious production line you’ve got going on. @muraki: Big Jake’s flesh tones are super smooth. Nice. @Diddick: The Stolen are super-creep with the glowing eyes. Nice basework, too. As previously said, huzzah for ghost poopy! @lusciousmccabe: Lovely Vodel / Beast. I love the smashed-base versions. I’ve updated the Spreadsheet for the moment, and I’d love for you to have a look, let me know if there are any errors, and/or let know your total at the end of the month! For those yet to finalise their SS count for the month ( @Aa7, @bedjy, @Boomstick, @Burnin' Coal, @Chou, @khilin, @LordZombie, @Maxooo, @misterfinn, @Phinn, @Polar43, @Primate, @prof_bycid, @Sol_Sorrowsong, @Stranglelove, @Thedeadclaw, and @wobbly_goggy), please let me know your count, preferably with an "@Caedrus". So, this month has been ridiculously busy for me, but I found the time to do a little bit of late-night painting. First off, the disappointment! I’ve been working away at two Death Marshalls, only to find that I have misplaced their Pine Boxes! So, until I find them, they’re on hold! Here’s one for preview purposes! Next up, a quick-ish Insidious Madness. It’s an eBay rescue, and I decided to see how creepy it would be if I painted it in flesh tones. As it turns out, fairly creepy. I was torn between doing it with a slimy coat of liquid water, to create a nasty appearance, or keeping it dry. Any thoughts? Also, the mouth-arm thing that is opening/tearing – should I add some drool? I’m thinking yes. 5SS for this guy. Next up, a proxy! I’ve never been a big fan of either Hungering Darkness, neither the Spermapillar, nor the Hipposquid. So, I decided to paint up this guy. He’s huge, he’s tentacle-y, he’s my Hungering Darkness! Now, as a bonus shot, because I was messing about (amateurishly) with Photoshop: Finally, my last miniature of the Month of May is my Recruiter, for 7SS. So, I was pleased about the NMM metal (I’m getting slowly better), and the OSL lighting. The cloak-dress (which used a base colour of ScaleColor Red Leather) also turned out nicely. I was a little less pleased with my sculpting; the head is a little far back, the clavicles too prominent and low, the hat too far back and too high. With my 3SS Wendigo, and my 7SS Witchling Handler, that brings me to 22SS for the month! Whew! I hope life is a little more under control for June! If you’re still to submit, I’d love to see your work! Caedrus. 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 @Caedrus Chou reporting! I've finished my models, I'll post the pictures tonight after finishing the bases. Once said so, I have to say that every month you guys amaze me more and more with your skills! Lots of beautiful models!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 @Caedrus think I'm done for the month as I don't think I can finish the Vanessa I'm working on, so I'm at 23 for the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Purple Mist Posted May 30, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 Hello, Here's the second part of my pledge: Alt. Barbaros, 10ss. @Caedrus with this one the overall pledge value for the month is 165 thaks to the mess of terrain components I already posted. Good luck to everybody for the conclusion of own pledge and big congrats to the many ones that already presented gorgeus painted models. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobbly_goggy Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 @Caedrus it's 0 for me I'm afraid.. Don't get back from a work trip to Finland until tomorrow (in the unlikely event I get to finish something tomorrow I'll let you know), and life's been getting in the way Also... I will be doing June but will be back in the UK all of July so unable to paint.. Which will mean me dropping out then as I was late and thus missed January already (I thought there was an amnesty the first week and submitted in that time but in down as a mulligan on the chart so obvs misunderstood!) 😭😭😭😭 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gloomy Posted May 31, 2019 Report Share Posted May 31, 2019 @Caedrus Wow! some great models this month. The recruiter is awesome, especially the OSL and the resculpt into a female looks great. Love the proxy Huggy, much better than the original imo. Slime on the mouth of the insidious madness would be great, my only other suggestion would be to define the mask a bit from the skin as I think thats a key feature of the model. Impressive work! @bedjy Really nice to have someone painting cult at the same time as me, it's giving me inspiration to push on through mine. Love the basing and great idea to get it all done first as it does get tedious. Your ECB and Doomseekers are my favourite and I'm loving the overall burning/orangey theme. Great Work @Phinn I'm enjoying your monthly rat and the dim OSL looks great. Can't wait to see Hamelin as that face looks sinister @Franchute Your Gamin are beautiful, really smooth transitions and nice tones and I love the brassy metal on the Riot Breaker. Great job! @Purple Mist Really nice colour transition from blue to purple on the wings and the greeny tone of the armour looks great and provides a nice contrast @PetitDalek The skin of your Ophelia is really nice. I like the added brown tones to give it better definition. Basing is great @Viruk Your Marcus crews are just Wow! Lovely basing, lovely colour schemes. Fantastic work! @Rathnard This a really cool and unique piece of terrain. Love it! @Stranglelove Great to see another fully painted crew. Big fan of your swampy bases too @Nikodemus The finished Yan Lo crew looks awesome. I really love the way you've done Chiaki @Diddick Those stolen look nice and creepy. Great job @lusciousmccabe Love the moonlight theme on Ferdinand and the beast. Great freehand work on the coats! @Kimberly Well done on getting a mini done whilst moving house, moving is stressful @khilin Nice work on the the multi basing, wish I'd done that with mine 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
