maxvon_d Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Here's my take on McMourning, in progress: You may spot a clear reference to a certain comedic villain. I just couldn't get over how closely the sculpt reminded me of the nightmarish Dave McKean rendition of Mr J in the Batman Arkham Asylum graphic novel.

mriverakc Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Nice and clean. good blending and color choice even though it is a little "Jokeresk" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malsqueek Posted May 19, 2010 Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I approve, but you have to make sure that his girls are appropriately dressed as well (Harley, anyone?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxvon_d Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 I approve, but you have to make sure that his girls are appropriately dressed as well (Harley, anyone?). Heh. Interesting. The Belle sculpts don't really lend themselves unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxvon_d Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 The Nurses might. Ah yes of course. I've always dismissed them as I don't particularly like the sculpts (I think it's the shoes). However the tray bearing one could definitely work as Harley from the recent Arkham Asylum game. Hmmm. Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxvon_d Posted May 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2010 Here's a quick update. I really need to pull my finger out and get my Resurrectionists finished - but Red Dead Redemption (Xbox) is kinda getting in the way! Anyway, not far off finishing McMourning now. He's got some natty stripey trousers on the go and you can see the effect I'm aiming for with the face. Still a bit of blending and detailing to do there but I think it should draw the eye and look suitably sinister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrayolaSmoker Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Gorgeous execution of the concept. Look forward to seeing what you do with the rest of his crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibonean Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Great, great work. I've been wondering about McMourning and now you've convinced me that he can look good. FYI. I bought Arkham Asylum back in the late 80's - First pressing. I was 24 years old and I had nightmares of Dave McKeans Joker for months afterwards. That image has had a very pronounced effect on me ever since. :afraid: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxvon_d Posted June 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hey thanks for the comments everyone I really must get back and finish him off, though a 40K Blood Angels army muscled in a bit! @Melnibonean: I got a hardback 1st edition of Arkham Asylum, plus Sandman Preludes & Nocturnes TPB from a secondhand shop back in like 1990. That set my comic collection off to a pretty high standard I'd say! Like you, McKean's Joker rendition has stuck with me (haunted me?) to this day. @baylock: oops, sorry! s'funny I wasn't going to do a full Batman themed crew but the idea is really growing on me now!

maxvon_d Posted June 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2010 No more progress on McMourning but I have started slapping paint on a couple 'o Belles: Someone is organising a Malifaux intro night at our local wargames club (Cross Gaming Club) in London on Tuesday night and I've committed to getting a small Resurrectionist crew prepped. It's good to have the deadline and I'm trying to really up my painting speed here. Pic's not the best but hopefully tomorrow night I should have a lot more done and I'll focus on the photography a little more. These aren't Batman themed I'm afraid. But I did pick up the Nurses pack today and one of them is going to be a Harley-a-like for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxvon_d Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 So here's McMourning and those Belles finished up and based. Hope you like 'em I've got a Canine Remains and McMourning's Chihuahua painted and ready for basing. I'll see if I can get that done this week. The bases are from the Kerr & King dockside range and work quite nicely for Malifaux I think. I intend to get a little bit of resin water in there at some point too.
