Anko WIP

[Deadpool]

So what I'm doing for this crew other than her having purple hair like my favorite naruto character Anko, is a little different than the Kirai crews, I plan on doing a japanese indoor flooring. And if your wondering why she is so brightly painted, I'm doing a really grim looking kirai crew. All of the models and bases will be very dark and eerie the spiritual models will have a very slight glow. But considering kirai herself is already so grim, I painted her in brighter colors to make her standout from the grim world of Malifaux, I feel it also shows what her life was like before she lost her love, who will be painted bright like her to show their connection.

Excelent pink and great color transition what's the plan for the base?

[Wodschow]

Whoa.. Awesome! I love her clothes, top notch!

[Chucklemonkey]

Whoa.. Awesome! I love her clothes, top notch!

Sums up my views too, excellent work.

[Malsqueek]

That is beautiful, Deadpool.

If I can ask, about how many layers are in that robe's highlights?

[ispep]

Looks great. And that blood spatter is well done. Excessive and not over the top at the same time.

[Deadpool]

Thanks for the positive feedback, and it may not look like it but more or less 8 layers on the cloth, I plan on getting a few more kirais and painting their kimonos different the next one will have freehand on it but that wont be till her clamshell comes out and I will be starting my Datsue-ba tonight it should be done by tmw. I will post it here tmw if it is.

Looking good. Great use of the pinks and purples.

She looks so innocent from the back.

[Deadpool]

Update!

[AntiZombie]

DANG IT DEADPOOL! thats exactly what my datsube ba that is almost done looks like...

[DangerousBeans]

Holy crap that's some awsome painting right there. How did you do the blood spatter? I've tried it on Bete Noir before and it just looks a bit OTT.

This is gorgeous though, can you paint Ikiryo next please?

[Peterdita]

Great job on the pink blending, that looks very nice. Datsu-ba looks sweet as well.

Got mine all cleaned and assembled waiting for work to end...

[Brandubh]

The pink on her robe is excellent. That is one of the hardest colors for me to get right, but you nailed it. Great Job.

If I can ask, did you mix your own pink or what color did you use for the base please?

Well,

@Antizombie:

Well can't wait to see yours than lol

@DangerousBeans:

A) I use a small dry-brushing brush I load it with a 50/50 mix of red and brown inks and blow on the brush and like magic great realistic blood splatter, I hold wax paper over the areas I don't want the blood splatter. 2) after I convert her up a little bit, ikiryo will be next.

@Peterdita:

Can't wait to see them I love seeing other peoples takes on minis

@Brandubh:

I start with a base coat of tentacle pink(citadel) and mix it with warlock purple(citadel); if you don't have tentacle pink just ad white to warlock purple and it should be close to it, then I layer it up adding a little more white to each layer till I get to pure white. If you need more specifics pm me.

Whoa.. Awesome! I love her clothes, top notch!

Couldn't say it any better.

You really pulled off the color choice. Excellent blending too!

[Guy in Suit]

These are hot as hell. Good work son.

[Deadpool]

Thanks for the comments, I will have them based shortly and revamp all the pics and paint up my ikiryo in a day or two unless, I get bogged down by commission work.

[Daisylvzim]

These guys are amazing. I wish I could paint like that.

[Deadpool]

Threadromancy!
