Jormi_Boced Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I really like the way you painted that showgirl. Very realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted June 18, 2012 Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 I spotted something horribly awry. I appreciate your humility but I think you went too far when you said that you weren't an expert. Obviously you won't say that you are [applaud], but don't belittle yourself by saying you're not. Master? Perhaps not, I'll give you that. More to learn? Of course, that's everyone. Expert? At the very least sir. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted June 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2012 Nah, I've just been lucky enough to spend time chatting to several people who really understand it, and have them critique my painting and my colour choices! They really are experts at it, I'm just good at pretending I know what's going on. I blame science, it's my job to fudge it and act like I know what I'm doing *grin* But it's always nice to get a little ego stroking, so thanks!

Mako Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Since I've been a little short on painting time and space recently, I thought I'd keep this thread alive with a little insight into how I try to prevent ending up with the giant pile of untainted stuff for malifaux that I have for other stuff. So I have a spreadsheet that lists everything I have, how far I've got with it, and the number and soulstone cost. Split by faction, then summarised on the front page. How sad am I...? And yes, that's an extra column already sat waiting for the ten thunders, after the preview photos... Edited July 4, 2012 by Mako Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted July 4, 2012 Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Lol. That's hilarious. You're too much. I love it. You need to change your tab names from 3 Kingdoms to 10 Thunders. But yeah, I think just about everyone is going to have at least a little of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2012 Yeah, I left it open until we found out for definite if it was only ten thunders, or if there was. More general three kingdoms thing going on, with the Dervish swords and such involved. Soon I'll change it though. I really don't want to get any more models until I've made more progress in my other stuff, but i don't reckon my chances are very good on that one! So next week I'll be trying to paint up death marshalls and do a bunch of sculpting, since I've now finished sorting out the things I had to do to move out of my old place. With any luck I'll at least get more guild started and maybe even finished before the inevitable buying chaos. And if I can find my mini tripod, a new guide, focused on doing things like freehand and OSL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Well, I think I've managed to find all the bits I need to actually get some photos! And I've got the death marshals prepped and ready for paint. By the end of the week, I'll have some new pictures up. Hopefully... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I can see me ending up with a very surreal alternate crew for Lady J. Not that I'm complaining bout that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Skies Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Marsupial themed Lady J crew? Let the puns commence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Skies Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Had some thoughts. Lady J = Platypus The Judge = Schrodingers Hedgehog (You know why) Death Marshals = Kangaroo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Could give you problems pine boxing the judge *wink* I can see this becoming a whole Aussie themed crew, with Lady platypus leading her death marsupials, the judgehog, a wombatsecutioner and possibly an emustringer and a numbatxorcist (just because the word numbat is hilarious!). Which means I quite possibly now have three scratch built crews on the table, one being my breach runners, and the others being alt versions of normal crews! Eep...

Lord Shaper Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Why do I feel that I'll be giving guidance on the idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Heh, you may be a teensy bit closer to the real thing than I've ever been! Given that I've roamed the northern hemisphere fairly extensively, I don't actually think I've ever ended up below the equator... And advice is always good! Actually, I've just thought - would a platypus lady J have to have poison 1? :-P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iron Skies Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I'm sorry, even asked around work for some kangaroo puns. Was told to 'hop it' 'see what spings to mind' and 'lets see what comes out of the pouch' Actually I'm not sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Not really off topic, I think we've achieved the rare state of double facepalm! On the bright side, if I can actually navigate for once in my life, tomorrow night I may actually get a game in! Or I could roam Harrogate in the car for hours looking for the place... And I painted the flesh on my death marshals today, friday I reckon I'll have pictures of them part painted to put up. That might stop the random chaos of death marsupials!

Webmonkey Posted July 13, 2012 Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 Still love your work. Am admittedly a bit jealous, especially of the sculpting. Is it ok to love you and hate you at the same time? *L* My own attempts at sculpting have been,... dismal,.... to say the least. I must be missing something in the technique.

Mako Posted July 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2012 You can love me and hate me all you want! Usually, all people are missing in their sculpting is a ton of practice. It's not quite that simple, but doing endless amounts of it can turn pretty much anyone into a reasonable sculptor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
