Guardian Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Ah, I wish I could see this model up close! Awesome stuff! Misaki fishing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacms Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Just found your work through the last wyrd chronicles. And the only thing I have to say is: your painting is ridiculous...good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well, I'll try to make sure she has a space in my case when I go to gencon, in case anyone wants to see her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Stunning as always. The koi is such an incredible touch - how did you think that one up? And she looks jawdroppingly beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 It was the only thing I could think of that would work once I chose the water-kick base! I needed something to add interest, and that fitted nicely. Plus it gave me a splash of other colours without making misaki too busy.

Bruglyother Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I will reiterate previous comments from myself.... I hate you! :-P Seriously though, this is great work as always. And the best part for me is I was already triying to figure out how to do something like this. Now I have directions to "try" to emulate. I say try because to date, none of my efforts have matched your, but I keep trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Heh, cheers Brugly! It's all about the practice, I dread to think how many hours I've spent painting in the last ten years. The trick with the UHU glue was a fun one to work out, I guessed that it would probably work but getting the shape and such took a bit of fiddling at first.

i_was_like_you Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well, I'll try to make sure she has a space in my case when I go to gencon, in case anyone wants to see her! Trying to lure me to GenCon, I see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 A bit more non-malifaux, mainly because I need to work on Lucius and Izamu a lot more before I'm prepared to put them up. My sniper girls now have webbing and camo pattern: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Did they just fast rope in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Yup. There's a more zoomed out shot on page 81 if you want to see the whole piece. It's all going to be OSL lit in the end, this is just the base paint before the effect goes on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 wow Awesome work from the last time I peeked in ! very cool stuff as always dude . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 that misaki is jaw-dropping... Are you busy? I have about 14 models I need painted before Adepticon in 2 weeks and my spray-paint can appears to be clogged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordeqai Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I simply cannot wait to see what you do with Izamu, Mako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Izamu might get some work soon, but the girl's are occupying what little free painting time I have at the moment! Speaking of which, they're now at the point where all they need is OSL. Which will be a lot of layers, but may well be done in time for Salute (in two weeks).

Evilbleachman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Really awesome. What is this diarama for? Are you planning on making any Malifaux related ones in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Oh, this is just a random one. Nice models, so I decided to have a bit of fun with them. Malifaux stuff tends to be on gaming bases in case I ever use it, so I doubt I'll do a diorama of it. Would have to be a specific scene that really inspired me for me to go through the enormous amount of work dioramas take! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hmm. I always thought the first scene with Rapsie vs Seamus the most rememerable from all the lore I read. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 It's a good scene, doesn't give me that diorama buzz though. And without that buzz, they're a huge trial to do. If it gives you that buzz though, I say go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Nah I will pass. After finishing up the second gremlin I am now done with 30% of my models. 123 left to go! Woop woop! 14 more gremlins to go and another planned 10 are going to be ordered shortly before I finish the 14. Do you have any experience cutting plasticard? I planned to make some cool bases for my Colette crew. Purchase some pre-made tiled bases with really cool designs and wanted to cut up some 'thick' plasticard (about 2mm thick) into wooden planks in various forms to glue on the bases with some nifty gears and clock materials I have laying around. I ordered a compass cutter thing online, hoping that will help me out somehow, in case I need circular items... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malal Posted April 14, 2013 Report Share Posted April 14, 2013 ttsgosadow has done a good guide 5th post down, used this method myself and think it's simple and effective http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?34931-ttsgosadow-s-painting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 (edited) Well, with Salute this weekend I've finished working on the sniper girls. When I get back, I'll hopefully be refreshed, slightly less exhausted than I am now (hah! No chance...), and I'll be back to working on the showgirls and such. Got to try and clear more of my pile before this year's gencon! Anyway, last look at the sniper girls before I return this thread to its usual Wyrd focus: Edited April 17, 2013 by Mako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Looks good, look forward to seeing better pics..... Maybe in Wargames Illustrated when they showcase the winners *grin* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
