blakeh1 Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Excellent, the standouts for me is the zombie flesh tone and risen from the grave look on Sybelle and the belle witht he green dress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popg0estheworld Posted September 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Another addition to my crew- Bete Noire- For those of who who do not own Bete Noire yet- she is not the best sculpt in the Wyrd arsenal. Her facial features are a little odd, and she is generally two dimensional. I added the detail connecting her to the base so she would look like she was billowing out of the grave, and I bent her arms a little bit to giver her a little more dimension.

maxvon_d Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 I've been reluctant to pick up Bete Noire as I've not been a fan of the sculpt but you've done a great job with her. And the rest of your rezzers are superb. Particular standouts are the green Belle, Seamus trousers and the nurse stockings as others have mentioned. Overall a fantastic crew. Great job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pfuetzi Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 greats minis. I am especially fond of how you painted the eyes. There is so much expression in them and they fit the character of the minis perfectly. Do u mind telling me how you achieve that? Which tool do you use for the pupils. I have the most difficulties just hitting the center of the eye but you seem to have no troubles putting them wherever you want :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciaran Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I have to admit: I picked up Bete Noire last night, as much because of this paintjob as the things that can be done in crews I'm planning out... Do you use a specific, named technique for your painting in general? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iamwyrd Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 Also if it is not a bother, could you give a quick run down of how you did the belles skin. Please..........Also I love your painting style, so clean and well.........GOOD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is so much expression in them and they fit the character of the minis perfectly. Do u mind telling me how you achieve that? Which tool do you use for the pupils. I have the most difficulties just hitting the center of the eye but you seem to have no troubles putting them wherever you want :-) Here is how I do eyes- I paint my base flesh tone, and then shade it. Next, I take some black, thinned down a little and mixed with a little retarder, and color the whole eye with it (using an 18/0 liner brush). Once dry, I take my flesh highlight color (using white will make your minis look bug-eyed... but if you want that look, like on Sybelle, go for it) and I use my 18/0 to paint in the light part of the eye (again, mixed with a little retarder to keep it from drying too quickly) leaving the black outline very thin on the borders. Next, using my 18/0, I paint in the cornea color. Then, using a Reaper 30/0, I carefully paint in the pupil. All of this is done under a lighted magnifying glass. I hope that is not too convoluted to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popg0estheworld Posted September 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Do you use a specific, named technique for your painting in general? In a word- no... but my secret lies in the use of Golden brand acrylic retarder. I mix it with just about everything but my base coats in order to extend my drying time and change my paint consistency. With a little bit of retarder added (usually mixed 1:5 retarder : paint ratio), you will find that you can blend your acrylics effortlessly. It takes a little bit of technique and practice (which is really difficult to explain), but it makes all the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Incredible work. The plaid on Seamus is worth a round of applause alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenRiveter Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 You just sold me on acrylic retarder, and by the sounds of it, most of the forum as well. It's little tips like that that make these threads so awesome. Thanks again for posting these, I look forward to seeing the rest of the Ressers.

Ciaran Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 pop: I was seriously thinking about using the watercolor style technique until I read that. I think I might learn to use retardant before moving into that way of building up pigment. Are there any tutorials you would suggest on using retardant?

Not that I have seen- I kind of developed my technique on my own. I will have to post a youtube video or something one of these days, because simply describing it never seems to do the trick.

Daniele Posted October 2, 2010 Report Share Posted October 2, 2010 (edited) Then, using a Reaper 30/0, I carefully paint in the pupil. OMFG is that brush anything more then hardened air? But then again you must have extremely calm hands. I'm jealous Wonderful job on Bete, I still don't like the mini itself but your painting is outstanding! The extension to the grave looks totally natural, just like it was always supposed to be there... :worship: I'm really looking forward to your youtube-tutorial on the retarder!!!

popg0estheworld Posted July 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Greetings, all! As I am going to be working on my new Ressurectionist force for a while, I figured I would consolidate all of my pics under one roof instead of spreading them out in a thousand threads. As of 19 July 2011, I am just going to update the OP, as opposed to tagging onto the end of the thread, so everything is in one place- Enjoy. I took new pictures of everything too. My Redchapel Crew- Seamus- My Nicodem Crew- Nicodem- Mortimer- Vulture- Punk Zombies- Canine Remains- Bete Noir- Convict Gunslinger- Next up, McMourning and crew, along w/ Miss Pack (whom I recently got in a Collodi box) Thanks for checking everybody out! I updated the pics on the original post- just wanted to update any interested parties! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
