Gremlin Luv Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 One of my bud pointed out to me last night that this pig must have been very constipated...the poo pile is rather large. But I guess it is fitting, seeing the expression on his face haha. I'm working on the other 3 piglets I have, still don't have the right style of reeds for my bases, I do not want to settle.

Omenbringer Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I hope the good minis people show don't discourage people to post whatever skill level they paint minis at. It's all about fun and learning so I'm glad you posted. To this I can only quote; They look good. Painted minis are always better than unpainted ones. Had a bunch more I was going to comment on but it has pretty much already been covered, so I wont kill it. :dead: One of my bud pointed out to me last night that this pig must have been very constipated...the poo pile is rather large.

Now if you threw some wings on him and made him a flying pooping piglet that would be absolutely hillarious. Question for you, l Love the piglets skin, what is the recipe if you dont mind?

Gremlin Luv Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) My pleasure Omen, I used all GW paints on the piglets. I started with an undercoat of graveyard earth which was washed with devlan mud mixed with a splash of badab black (somwhere near 5:1 mud:black). Then a highlight of graveyard, then layered graveyard:elf flesh with the first layer being 3:1 then 2:1. The snout went up 1:1 drybrush highlight , then got a layer of blood red followed by 1:4-5 (to preferred tone) :2 graveyard:elf flesh:blood red to get the tissue pink I was looking for. The nose got a final wash of devlan mud Edited January 17, 2010 by Gremlin Luv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gremlin Luv Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 And my next post will all be the ol' tima ridin' Wilbur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Luv Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) I tried to mix the some gray into my green with a touch of elf flesh to make this gremlin look a bit advanced in years, let me know if you think it worked. I did fix Babe's right ear just now, and painted Wilbur's eyes Edited January 18, 2010 by Gremlin Luv Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechaace Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 They look good so they do, i'd have to agree with the others in saying you've got nothing to be embarrassed about by showing these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafNala Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 VERY NICE WORK! The skin tones on Gremlin & Friend look TERRIFIC; a FINE choice of colors all around. KEEP 'EM COMING! :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin Luv Posted January 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 I got another gremlin finished, I'll post pictures later today. I also based the models, so a new batch of them will also go up! At least I hope today. I've started Perdita in the mean time, too many gremlins lately, so I'll post a work in progress pic of her while I'm at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoM Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 These are great! You can never have too many Piglets or Bayou Gremlins, so this thread's just gonna keep growing. The older skin is nice, maybe a touch more of the grey and elf flesh. The banjo on the sitting spyglass gremlin is perfect! Why didn't I think of that before? I'm totally going to "borrow" that one, sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgraz Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 One tidbit I found a while back to make reeds was to buy a short length of thick natural fiber rope. Separate and cut the strands to a size you like, then use a dot of white glue to hold them on. I used this on my swamp terrain and it looks good and is also pretty durable.

Gremlin Luv Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Angel, I think you are right. I'll try a small rehighlight with a touch more grey added in. Unfortunately, I wish I could stop buying gremlins but that's impossible! I want to try and convert a harmonica for one, but I suck with green stuff. Dgraz, I wish I would have seen that earlier! I bought some reed type grass from a hobby store and cut it down, but followed the same idea. I do need pictures up very soon and hopefully I will be tonight! Grad school is killing me.

Gremlin Luv Posted February 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 New pics! Also, see my Ortega blog for pictures of Perdita, Francisco, and other assorted projects I'll be working on. I recently purchased a gremlinette, so after I paint my current slated model for a competition I'll paint the last three gremlins and then on to Nino. Billy Ray, the violinist for the hootenany! And now, some old mini's with improved bases! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
