Lord Shaper Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Sweet! But also damn you, for having paints, and brushes, and such. *runs off sobbing* But your the one who's recieved his Gencon order when it's still going to at least be a couple of weeks for me... On another note it looks like I've sourced a Puppet Lucius finally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Bonus, those things are gold dust! Going for the whole guild as puppets? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 You make a very good point! I'm not actually sure I like having my crew here, I can't actually do anything with them so it's just a form of torture! Every day they look at me and say 'why aren't you painting us? What did we do wrong?' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I hope no one mistakes my most recent blog post for criticism based on the way it shows in the sidebar on the homepage. It's just the opposite, actually. It was also an easy way to get around signing up for another photo hosting service :-P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hey folks, how goes? Got the Rail Crew all assembled and primed now, along with the Old Lady and two of the Archers. Need to work out the Rail Crew colors...decided to try my hand at freehand for a faction sigil of some kind to tie all the Ten Thunders together, rather than doing all the same color scheme.

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oo, do a badger in hakama! Or, possibly, something more sensible... I think I've lost the little sanity I had left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Well, considering it's my first ever free hand attempt...I think it'll be something simple. Waiting on my new brush that I ordered before I even get onto it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I'd say pick a Chinese/japanese character that means something clever and relevant, or go for a design like one of the old family crests (some are pretty simple). Either that, or a simple design of a classic like a Phoenix, tiger, dragon or lotus, something like that. Good idea for a common symbol though, I hadn't thought of that one. Oh, and the store here has said they're going to start stocking Malifaux again now there's a community getting going and the new book is out. It's all good timing for them to get more in, luckily!

edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 ...(blink blink) What part of simple doesn't come to mind? I was thinking something like a spiral...or something. I'm not really sure. I'm actually wondering if the simple should be the same, or if just the colors. That way it'd be a 'private' thing they couldn't give up in interrogation. We'll see how adventurous I'm feeling once the brush shows up, lol. Glad to hear you're having some success with the community growing! So, I don't have a whole lot of progress done, but I'm thinking of tossing up pictures of Yamaziko (her robe has the purple done) and Kang (his skin is done) to get some feedback before I go much further.

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Ah,but the symbol for Japan is a box with a line through it, that's pretty simple! And spirals are deceptively hard to get right with all that curvyness that goes on lol. ---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ---------- It all depends on how stylised you go with it!

edonil Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 So, took some photos...trying out GIMP to do the color corrections, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And spirals are deceptively hard to get right with all that curvyness that goes on lol. I don't know what it is in Chinese, but I know that in Japanese, that is not true, it is actually two symbols, though still not complicated (though I would not even consider to try to paint them on a miniature due to the size and my own shakiness).

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hmm, I thought it was the Japanese who used the square as a map with a vertical line marking the centre to represent their country. Could be wrong, maybe it's the Chinese, or maybe I'm miles off anything! Heh. That's the problem with random knowledge. Still, some are pretty simple. That's the important bit *wink* Having fun with GIMP then Ed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 There's not a function that allows you to click something to set that as white? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da Git Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 There are some pretty simple crest designs in the 10t forum. I also like the idea of different simbols but same colour or just slight variations of the same one. After some of the crews sound like they're more associates of the katanaka clan rather than full members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yew Arcane Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 The symbol for japan in Japanese is as follows: If I could do it I would try myself (once I got them) I am not sure what symbol you are thinking of Mako, so I can't help you there. I am going to just go with a color scheme and leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is all Japanese but the symbols are generally the same in Chinese too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snord Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Lol, I have the same problem every time I try to take pictures... they look horrible and I can't figure out how to fix them in GIMP or any other software... :/ BTW, which brush did you buy Edonil?

Mako Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 O+F has it, they use the symbol for middle in the country title. Knew I'd seen it somewhere! Still, my stupidity aside (thou I have plenty if anyone's about at midnight...), there are some nice easy symbols, they're not all eye watering monsters to paint! I can look at gimp onmonday when I'm in work, but don't have it at home so can't really help much over the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of these: http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=29&products_id=112 Well, photos are up. I think they turned out okay, at the very least better than the last ones I took. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 8, 2012 Report Share Posted September 8, 2012 The photos look good Ed, possibly a touch dark but that varies from monitor to monitorso it's impossible to get perfect! And the paintwork is good too, I was surprised when you said Kang was drybrushed, he looked too smooth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
