Kathie v Vhoorl Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 This is a Lilith crew I just painted up. I actually painted it as a commission... yeah I'm being serious.. I made money doing this! c: Let me know what you think. I think I rushed this one a little because I was painting for someone else, so i did not push the envelope on new techniques or anything. Some local players that are just getting into Malifaux saw my Pandora crew and want me to paint their crews. Next up is a Marcus crew then I have to do a Perdita and an Ophelia (with warpig addition). Wish me luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nilus Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Wow those actually look really nice. How much did you charge to paint those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathie v Vhoorl Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I charged her $39.00 but she paid me $50.00. I don't know what commission painters get and I didn't want to scare her off with some crazy high price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvatarForm Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 V nice. Interested in how you achieved the basing... +10 for using the 40k Jungle tree foliage on the Mature's base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I charged her $39.00 but she paid me $50.00. I don't know what commission painters get and I didn't want to scare her off with some crazy high price. Those are very nicely done and I think you may have underpriced a little bit. I would consider those a bit better then tabletop quality so would up the cost. In the end the $50.00 she paid you is probably closer to what you could have quoted.

Dark Alleycat Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I have only recently started doing painting commissions but I have found that around 10$ a model is about reasonable both in time spent and cost for my customer.Did you do the bases as well? if so then you might be underselling your ability just a tiny bit lol but still not bad. And btw,love the paint job you did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headcase2 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Well painted, nicely based... I think between $ 42 en 70 would be an acceptable price for this: $ 15 to 20 for the big guy, between $ 5 and 10 for the toddlers (they're small, but bases make them more expensive) and $ 12 to 20 for Lilith (masters tend to get some extra attention, as the centre figure in a crew).

xxXhayzelXxx Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I think you have done a wonderful job. The bases are amazing, and the colouring is just perfect. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegel Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 yea li love the base too. in hong kong ppl are charging twice of the coat of material. so yes a bit underprized. especially for the big guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Er1k Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 ~Hi Those paint jobs are really good. I especially like the bases and the Terror Tot Nephilim are really good. Makes me think I should pause painting my Viktorias and start on my Pandora crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaane Feinwong Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I like'em as well. Very good! I'll also second the $50 quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karn987 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Very nice! I like the look of the Mature especially, mad him look rather mean =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kds54 Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Very very nice What paints do you use? I've always used GW paints but have recently started using P3 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathie v Vhoorl Posted February 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 Thanks everyone. Kds54: I used mostly Reaper master Series paints on these and a little bit of the vallejo Panzer Aces paints that I caught on sale. I found an entire 48 paint panzer aces range for sale for $50.00 recently. It was such a good deal I had to buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aarkon Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I love the look of the Mature, the colour you chose for the Nephilim looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_hazard Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 I love the hair colour and the way it contrasts with the flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kds54 Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Cheers for the info. I hadn't even heard of those paints before but will certainly look them up. What about brushes? its one thing i've all ways struggled with getting good ones. Sorry if i'm asking to many questions, but your obviously a very good painter so appriciate the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 fantastic paintjobs on the crew! I especially like the skin tone you used, i would never have thought of that colour! I do think you are seriously underpricing yourself though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manicmac Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 You don't need luck! You have it down. Those look really great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathie v Vhoorl Posted February 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 Thanks! Kds54: I use alot of different brushes because I have a hard time finding good ones also. I have some GW, some Winsor Newton Master brushes and some Vallejo brushes. I have heard that Kolinsky series 7 are the top notch brushes, but I have not found any locally and I think they may be very expensive (maybe 12-20$ a brush I guess). I use standard brushes and detail brushes mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben th3 bear Posted February 28, 2011 Report Share Posted February 28, 2011 i love those i think the purple skin really offsets the orange hair well and its just brilliant paintjob on them well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
