Shadeau Gorgon Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I fell in love with Wyrd mini's at GenCon this year... I bought enough models to end up with 4 nurses... One model caused an obsession to stir in me. Teddy. Maybe it is because I'm a child of the eighties, maybe it's because of some personal psychosis, but I can't seem to stop painting them like Care Bears. First shot is a shot of them all together, and the second/third are Sleepytime bear. This is my first mini posting here, so please let me know what y'all think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gottkaiser Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 It's a cool idea and well executed. It's easy to recognize them as what they are supposed to be, and they look lovely together. There are two little things I have to criticize, though: You could try to drybrush a little bit more careful. For example the blue one could profit a bit more from a little more careful brushing. Try a thin brush of a lighter blue perhaps. And if it is too bright, use several light coats of ink to darken it, and with the same step, darken the shadows. The second thing is the blood. Blood is extremely hard to do to look well. If you want to do blood again, I recommend experimenting with Tamiya clear read with a little black in it. It gives an extremely real look, and can even be used for clotted blood etc. But, as I said, I really like them, thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mach_5 Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Sweet! So in a 55ss brawl you could take the Dreamer, drop the second master for 10 ss, and hire all 7 teddies. Probably not a winning strategy all the time, but you've gotta try it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melnibonean Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 That's a lot of bears. The Funshine Bear is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragthar Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 I like it alot my favorite is Good luck great detail on him. On sleepy time the blanket is amazing but the bear could have done with a little better highlighting,but overall A+ easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I've only been painting a short while (off and on for a year or so), so any hints help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Wow, a whole army of Carebears! Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing my best to get some Charlotte Natives into the game. I have 5 armies available, but I'm having a little trouble stirring up players in the Charlotte NC Area... I'll get 'em though, and then someone will face Carebear fury.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Very cool. How did you do the base on Grumpy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadeau Gorgon Posted October 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Very cool. How did you do the base on Grumpy? It's just the first layer in that photo, but it's Scenic's Waterfall Effects pulled out with a toothpick on top of a tie dye of blue and white paints. I'm layering it up to look like he's going all super saiyan and powering up. It's milky in that photo (takes forever to dry out in the Carolinas) but the effect dries clear. Once that sets I'll try to get you some extra photos of the effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On sleepy time the blanket is amazing but the bear could have done with a little better highlighting,but overall A+ easy The blankie was a beast. I wanted it to look like he was just trailing it behind him. One thing I didn't like is that I left finger prints all over it. Is there a way to smooth those out on the next one, or should I just start wearing gloves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The little bit that I've worked with greenstuff I noticed that keeping your fingers wet helps to smooth it out and keep fingerprints away.

Velsharoon Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 Gutted that you did this before me, I am about to start painting one today, just waiting for the primer to dry. Kudos tho as they are very well done and better than I could do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once that sets I'll try to get you some extra photos of the effect. I actually thought it was done. He looks like he is standing in a big puddle in the middle of a rain storm.

Water is correct. and patience. it is better to use a tool instead of your fingers, just wet it and continue running the tool over it to smooth it - it may take quite a few passes.

Highly doubt it, and I'm sure I'll never table them with the other 4 I have sitting on my painting table... ROFL. I'm just addicted to them...

Lorenz Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 this is the greatest themed paint job I have seen and straight out of a nightmare... just thinking about those lovable bears and what would happen if they turned on some poor child ... man I love how creepy that is ... also your bases are awesome I love the alphabet blocks but they each are very detailed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
