Mister Feral Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) New readers read-me! Skip to here to start reading from my 2014 progress onwards. Models prior to that were completed way back in 2010! [Original post follows] Hello, I suppose I better introduce myself. I was up to about a month ago a GW purist, started off in the miniatures hobby nearly 12 years ago (so I've been at it a while now). I decided I needed a change and stumbled across Wyrd Miniatures and I knew then I was on to something good. So, I took a dive into Malifaux and got some miniatures so this will be my thread to show what I've painted. I would like to think I've got the hang of this painting business by now, but I always like constructive critism, ideas and the like (though good old-fashioned praise is good too. :angel:) Here's my first one done;Leveticus, Steampunk Necromancer Waiting to hear what you think,Feral Edited February 24, 2014 by Mister Feral Changed photo to reflecting basing improvements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetang22 Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 I like it. a bit different than the ones I've ever seen before due to the green hair, and I'm always a big fan of unexpected color schemes that work well. Welcome to the game and forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I decided I needed a change and stumbled across Wyrd Miniatures and I knew then I was on to something good. Feral How true for so many, yet it makes me a little sad that more dont make that adventure into the wider world. However I cant comment on the minis cos my blady work comp. wont let me see them. Welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafNala Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 OH, I REALLY like that...the green hair makes it for moi. VERY WELL DONE! :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 very nice dude, I like the base. Is that putty or some bizarre flock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle1.0 Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 I always like the Animae hair colors but then again back in the 80's when I had hair I was into the Hardcore movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) Thanks for the comments and welcomes, it's nice to be here. As for the colour scheme (and green hair), I cannot claim originality because I pretty much copied it from the painted example printed in the blister pack. (I changed the shirt from red to purple though) :idea: As for the base, it's just a bit of slade and modelling sand basecoated and drybrushed in various shades of brown. There's also a little brass etching cog I bent and bashed up there too. (just realised, I should of painted the surgical tools pouch brown and not black - oops!)

mechaace Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 It's still a very good job though, even if you're not claiming originality. I don't know if it's all varnished and what not, but i'd maybe do something to make the cog a bit more distinct, as it took a wee bit of looking around to find it, though that could just be me, or possibly just the position, it might stick right out in real life.

Mister Feral Posted January 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Nah, it hasn't been varnished yet. I usually end up missing something or going back and improving bits. I will have to hit the cog with a bit of a rust effect, but nothing too grand. I repainted his surgical tool pouch, that was irritating me a bit. I have in the painting pile in various states of progress; Seamus McMourning Convict Gunslinger Hans So, one of those will be next up.

SuicideCommando Posted January 18, 2010 Report Share Posted January 18, 2010 Judging by your avatar I can see where the color inspiration came from. :thcow2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Aye, it's true that particular Batman characters influence my painting choices, I'm a DC graphic novels enthusiast at heart. I updated my photo of Leveticus in my first post to show the basing improvements (rust effects on the buried cog and patches of grey drybrushed on for that wasteland look). Also, something new; Convict Gunslinger: It's pretty much the standard scheme except I changed his hair to pink and gave him eyeliner around his good eye because he's so macho. :laughing: I hope you like it, Feral 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talishko Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 Nice job on both minis. I don't usually like this lining painting style but it looks awesome on the gunslinger, i might even try it my self! Keep the stuff coming.

Peterdita Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 interesting style of painting you ahve there... I like it. Sort of like a dark comic book feel for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razide Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Your Convict Gunslinger is a mean looking bastard. No many people can get away with pink/purple hair but it suits him. The eyes came out well. I wonder what outrageous hair colour will be on your next figure ! I like the way you've done the stripes on his pants too.

Mister Feral Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Hello again people, thanks again for the nice words. I have seen that McMourning (funny idea), I am going in a similar direction for my Seamus (white face paint). I have something new done; The Hanged: They could use a few improvements, but are otherwise done. Lovely sculpts, even though I clumsily broke one's tab off and had to pin him back onto the base. Oops. Thanks for looking, and let me know what you think. Edited February 16, 2010 by Mister Feral 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Caroland Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 First I stepped into this thread - excellent work on all of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted February 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yay Mr. Wyrd himself likes my stuff, I am pleased! Here's something a bit different for you (from Mad Puppet Miniatures) Scavenger Leader: Let me just say, I love this model! It was probably the first non-GW miniature I rather liked and as such probably kicked off my adventure into alternate lines. Having said that, it did take me three attempts to get the flesh right for some reason but persistence won out in the end. I'm rather pleased with the mohawk, managed to blend the colours quite well I think. I also added a bit of "psycho jester" makeup to his face for character. (I reckon he'd make a great proxy Convict Gunslinger.) Comments and stuff would be nice, I'm rather pleased with how it turned out. Thanks for reading, Feral 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uriel Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Very nice, and I don't find the green hair strange at all...Of course, I have long blue hair myself. -Uriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
