EricJ Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 ok, so I've been thinking a while about do a mini VERY stylized similar to Brute paintings and 2d artwork. I thought the CMON contest was a good rational for doing something a bit off the main stream in painting like this. For those who don't know, look here: Brute Site I really can't think of a good mini to do this on. Really looking for either male or female. Basically it can't have too much sculpted on detail, as that won't lend itself to this style. Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 The first thing that comes to mind is of course Hasslefree... Maybe some of the zombie hunters? Or one of the naked chics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 ooh, good thought, those are simple-ish minis that may work well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritual Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 Yes, and I bet there's at least a few minis that would suit the Brute style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdukino Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I can't remember, but did I send you one of the i-kore elf archers? I thought so?Maybe a good test piece to see if Kev's sculpts work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 ummm, I remember talking about it, but I can't remember if you actually did... I'll have to check my little pile of minis from cindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Caroland Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I've got three of the evil bastards if you want to have a go at it in a Brute style. I'm sure we can work out something ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I always thought the Reaper Warbride would look good in that style since she's very "angular". Or maybe it's just me... Just a thought: See her here: Warbride So are you actually gonna enter this competition?? (right! :bird: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 there is a lot about her that's good, but I think there is too much detail, and not enough room for the stylized shading As for the competition...this is for my SECOND entry, since my first one is nearly done...so THERE! :reddy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duende Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 As for the competition...this is for my SECOND entry, since my first one is nearly done...so THERE! :reddy: Bah! I'll believe it when I see it! :spank: More ideas for you to shoot down: You want something more simplistic? How about a WarCrow mini like this one, or that one, or even this other one.

LeadAsbestos Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 How about this: http://www6.mailordercentral.com/thewarstore/prodinfo.asp?number=URB13310&variation=&aitem=12&mitem=21 Seems appropriate... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matakishi Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 I've nearly finished painting a set of these figures, they might suit your purpose. The bald chaps in coats are particularly good with vast expanses of smooth lead to play with. The style is very direct also, reminded me of the early Mr. X work which is similar in style to Brute stuff. Anyway, just a suggestion.

vincegamer Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Judging by the facial expressions on the link you gave I suggest Spyglass: Kage Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 thanks for the ideas everyone, you have me looking in places I might not have seen always open to more, I think a lot of these are pretty good and would work, but still not seeing something that just yells at me to do this.

vincegamer Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Okay, but this is my last suggestion: Doc Savage ("Doc Thompson" to avoit copyright) by Pulp Figures. Heck, tons of things by pulp, like the nazis or US marines, or rocket corps, or Jasper Gutworth, etc. The pulp figures line is just screaming for the comic-art black and white treatment. You can find them here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted December 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 you know what, those might be the favorite I've seen, nice link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
