dgraz Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Well the mural is amazing. but most of the pics are too dark for me to even see much of anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuesday Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 ... Wow. I actually thought the picture of the mural was a full-size painting (if not the original), but that's actually on the miniatures? Aaaah! That's amazing! You're great at not just painting miniatures, but at actual painting-- ON miniatures! And the colors on the seishin are also nice-- muted, but they still stand out. I can't wait to see the bases painted up. In short, I don't mean to gush but you are my painting hero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, sorry about the dark pics- black primer on black background is pretty stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Norton Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 oh wow, that turned out completely amazing. I'm psyched that you not only went with that idea but that it turned out this amazing. You have really done an excellent job with transferring the look and feel of the original to this medium.

ispep Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Absolutely stunning. I can not wait to see the full crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvrchamp Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 UPDATE!!! I've taken on the challenges set by thatnicguy and Saint Norton, and have reached show-offable levels of progress- "The Fisherman's Wife," the back mural (the one that will face backwards, not the one right behind the models). Dr. Zoidberg, Amy, NOOOOOO!!!!! Before you all accuse me of being a total pervert, this is taken directly from a famous piece of early modern Japanese erotica, "The fisherman's Wife" (Google it- NSFW). I figured it would be appropriate for some place like the Qi and Gong. This will face backwards in my display case, as to not alarm guests. The front-facing mural will be much tamer, and more spirit based. haahaa... This is perhaps the MOST widely known piece of shunga. There is a lot more out there though. That said, ya did a great job painting it up! Keep up the good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kerr Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 Wow...... I'm really impressed. The mural is incredibly good, and a very fun a Malifaux-ish subject too! Would love to see the rest of the diroma all put together. I assume every model in the crew will eventually fit in?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatnicguy Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 The bonsai looks fantastic, can't believe you pulled it off, will be hanging out to see it all come together, it's just brilliant. The seishin look great flying through the floorboards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popg0estheworld Posted August 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 ***UPDATE*** I am near completion on the mural for the group- I have a friend at UW Madison working on the Kanji for the scroll, but otherwise it is done. I cherry-picked images from a number of old Japanese prints depicting spirits to piece together the mural. Here it is with the minis, so you can get an idea of the final composition (and the basic base colors for the minis) The screens look wonky here because they are just kind of pinned on, not flush like they will be in the end. Here is the back with the minis- my "retouch" tool did something crazy to the image as I was censoring it, so ignore the weird crotch-wave. In all, it is slowly coming together, and has proven a much more massive project than I ever anticipated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Love it. The style is spot on, the whole piece is nicely laid out, and those murals are so damn good it almost makes me cry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 Awesome stuff all round. I look forward to seeing how your crew develops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popg0estheworld Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 ***UPDATE*** Kirai and Ikryo are more or less done- Bases obviously still need a lot of work, and they still need a little touch up, but the figures are pretty much done. Yes, I am aware that Kirai has kind of a Christmas color scheme going on- it was not intentional. I copied the color and pattern scheme from an old Japanese print, and realized only after I was done that it was all Christmasy. Whatever. She will be ready for the holiday gaming season. Now to finish the lower section of the bases and join everything together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Amazing as always! I love how pissed you've made her look! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Holy flower on the sleeve batman!!! You free-handed that? Man I thought my Kirai flowers were cool - I'd have to go strip it if I hadn't sold it. I'm subscribed to this thread so I have to come and look when you update it, but I hate to..........I leave feeling so inadequate. Uhhmmm.....nice work - what else can I say.....please call 911.

NinjaBreadMen Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 As ever, yours is some of the absolute best work I've ever seen! The colour scheme works so well too! Made me straight away think of grass/leaves and blood. Really outstanding execution, and such an amaizing overall idea! Can't wait to see more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see more I'm really glad you feel that way- that was my original artistic intent... My wife's comment of "It's cool. It looks Christmas-y." made my blood run cold, as I realized she was correct. I think that the addition of the backgrounds will temper the holiday spirit a little. The bases are almost done... I should have final pics within a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
