Danyeru Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Brilliant style. It looks like a combination of oil painting and cell-shading. Keep up the fantastic work. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizz666 Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 I really like this stuff man. Kudos for sure. I like the Seamus crew a lot, but my favorite is the Vick's stuff. I dig the colors you picked for the whole crew. excellent job, friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted November 9, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2010 The latest edition to the crew, some Crooked Men, is below. I'm currently working on getting McMourning and friends painted and ready, with an eye toward expanding to Nicodem in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warpstone Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 This has to be one of the most craziest painting styles I have seen in a while. Everything is just so bold and loud, top work keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMGraham Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 In a recent game , I was chagrined that my entire crew was painted, sans Avatar Seamus. My opponent did me a favor by killing Seamus before he manifested and saved me the shame of putting an unpainted model on the board. I don't want opponents to have to kill Seamus for me next time, so I painted Avatar Seamus: I also realized that I haven't posted any photos of the other stuff I've done, so here it is: Bete Noir and JACKDAW McMourning and his doting assistant, Sebastian Man's best friend comes in all sizes (Rogue Necromancy proxy, canine remain, zombie chihuahua) 3 Flesh constructs, from Wyrd, Reaper, and West WInd, respectively. Yes, I have had the Rogue Necromancy and all three constructs on the game by board's end (having started with none of them). Killjoy and the Killjoy delivery system (necropunk) Here's a group shot of my entire Resser gang. I have Nicodem and lots of other Ressers to paint, but I'm thinking I'll shift my focus to the Dreamer for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 This is very impressive. Any chance you could run through how you painted some of them? I personally tend towards trying to go 'realistic' but after seeing your Seamus crew, part of me wants to experiment with what you've shown...

dgraz Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Wow, I thought my style was sort've comic-booky / cartoony... your really pushing the limits on that. I like it very much. I don't think I could make myself paint that way, but I sure like to look at it!! I'll bet you could really do some very cool stuff with the new Super Dungeon Explore.

JMGraham Posted September 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks, all! I agree that the SDE! and puppet minis would be a good fit for my cartoony style. I'm looking forward to giving them a shot someday, but there is so much to paint, and only so little time. @ Edonil - I think what I do is generally called "block painting". For any army/crew, I try to limit my color palette and develop a set of "recipies" that I stick to from model to model. I also usually sit down with each model and write down what will be each color before I pick up a paintbrush. I prime black, pick a color, and paint that color to completion on the model, pick the next color, repeat, etc. I generally try to be very mindful of leaving some black primer untouched in the recesses of the models. Other than that, it's just a matter of taking highlights a fair bit brighter than you're usually used to. For most colors, I start with a base color and add more and more white to it, until I arrive at a very thin and faint pure white highlight. An example recipe: Black+Foundation red, foundation red, foundation red + blood red, blood red, blood red+ orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightmek25 Posted September 16, 2011 Report Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks for the kind words, all. The deep shadows are a stylistic thing for me. I like the vivid, cartoonish look that comes from extreme shading. However, not everyone feels the same - it tends to be a painting style that divides folks into folks who love it or hate it. I am glad you addressed this because as I looked at them, I thought they had a definitive cartoon feel. I was going to respond, but thought - if that hadn't been your intention - I might offend. I think your work is unique and vivid. The cartoonish schemes tend to feel more like that of a graphic novel than a Scooby-Doo re-run. It's an appropriate style, I think. They look great. Awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMGraham Posted November 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Here are the latest additions to my Resser crew (entries for the Rotten Harvest contest): Nicodem: The Resser-relevant bit here are the 7 mindless zombies. That's also the start of my graveyard board and my pathfinder character stuck in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Wall Posted November 18, 2011 Report Share Posted November 18, 2011 Fantastic work on the new models. Did the tombstones from the GW graveyard come as groups? If not, that is an excellent way of making them into effective Malifaux terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
