Balefirestorm Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 More than enough! See if I can get working on it today Also started painting my Misaki crew. haven't been able to get that far, but have decided on using orange as the base colour for clothing (original, isn't it ).

c0un7_z3r0 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Ok, so I thought I'd make a contribute to this thread, I'm supposed to be a co-author after all *wink*. I got a little burnt out from painting my spa's, I just couldn't get that skin tone to match my taste, so took a "little" break from it! But here I am again with my most recent attempt, I call it the "formaldehyde look", the picture ain't that great but it will give you a general idea ! C&C are always welcome!

Balefirestorm Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Should I say welcome back? Looks really nice. How did you manage to create that particular skin tone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c0un7_z3r0 Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 (edited) Well thank's dear friend! Well, I painted it late last night, had no real plan other than to create this grayish colour with a blue-purpleish tone and just did what seemed apropriate as I painted along. So what I'm trying to say is, I'm not entirely sure . But It's good you ask because then I get a reason to write it down. I used GW colors only and did something along these lines: - First stage is a solid layer Deneb Stone mixed with Space Wolf Gray in a.. say 3/1 ration plus a drop of Airbrush Thinner and some good old tap-water (you dont want a blue color at this stage, just a "paler" Deneb and it should be quite thin). - Then I washed it with Ogryn Flesh which was followed by another wash of watered down Leviathan Purple (maybe 2-ish parts water to 1 part Leviathan). - At the third stage is I went over all raised areas with the DS/SWG-mix. - Then, I don't know how to describe it, but I kind of washed the mini in the DS/SWG-mix as well, only small parts at a time and as soon as I applied the "wash" I took a brush to suck up all the paint in the recesses. This is to make smoother transitions from the recesses to the raised areas, but it will also help dulling the warmth of the washes. There might be other ways to do this but I find this way easy and quick. - And then I actually drybrushed (I seldom use this technique) the skin in the same DS/SWG-mix as well, until I got enough definition on all the raised areas as well as a pale skin tone. - After the drybrushing I washed the skin in water down Asurmen Blue (1 part wash to 3 parts water, kind of) - And finally I added more SWG to the DS/SWG-mix and finished with two stages of highlights, with a bit more SWG at every stage. I don't know if that description made anyone wiser but if anything is unclear I'm happy to fill you in if anyone are interested! ---------- Post added at 02:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:29 PM ---------- I believe I'll stick to this skin-tone, It's quick and somewhat easy and I rather like it. It makes them look dead and lifeless but with an supernatural twist (or so I believe, If anyone have any ideas of improving the skin, by all means drop a message). But now when I'm thinking about how to paint all their open wounds etc I ask myself "what color will their "blood" be?". I believe Leveticus is somewhat less messy than McMourning so I imagine him emptying his corpses of blood in some orderly manner and then putting them in formaldehyde to prevent them from rotting (which also makes the tissue quite colorless and grayish). Then he can conduct his experiments without rushing them too much. When he reanimates them I imagine Leveticus injecting his creations with some foul liquid of sorts, which has given my SPA's a purple tone. But what color is this foul liquid? I'm thinking dark purple, almost blue... Anyone got some suggestions? I'd love to hear them! Edited April 23, 2013 by c0un7_z3r0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted April 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2013 Just a quick update with a better photo of the model Only had time to take photos today: Evilbleachman: Sorry for not providing the guide yet. Hopefully done over the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 25, 2013 Report Share Posted April 25, 2013 I like your painting style with colors toned down and kept darker rather than brighter. Haven't seen Misaki done in this style yet so I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out. So far it's very promising Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HtUnliving Posted April 27, 2013 Report Share Posted April 27, 2013 As a Rezzer, I'm gonna comment most on them, although I must say that even though I hate Pandora, gotta hand it to you: awesome work with her crew. Also, the conversions all around this topic are so cool. The Supply wagon and bases are worth the raising of a hat. Although, my favorite model by far is the Bete Noire: best looking Bete in a while. All the Resurrectionist minis are awesomely painted. Good work. Like the colour scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Thank you guys for the kind words. I will start today's update with a short guide on how to make the Supply wagon I presented earlier in this thread First of all I made sure to have the right equipment: From top: Knife (duh) Clay shaper (easily found in most hobby shops) Modelling tool 0.5 mm pen Metal saw Super glue either pipe shaped plasticard, a metal rod or cocktail stick and balsa wood of the thickness 1-2 mm and 3 mm. first of all we need to measure the main part of the wagon: For me this consisted of (4) 4 x 0,5 x 0,1 cm pieces. I all also cut out two extra to use later. To connect them I used two pieces measuring 2,4 x 0,3 x 03 cm: As "walls" I used the two extra pieces I earlier cut out and glue the along the sides: After that I cut out one piece measuring 2,7 x 0,5 x 0,3 cm and glued it on the front of the wagon: The handles were made according to nr 4 on the picture below and glued in place. The have the measurement 3,5 x 0,5 x 03. 1,5 cm in from either side, make a mark and make a diagonal line to form the proper shape seen in the picture: The metal pieces are made of greenstuff put into place and shaped into squares. To make the nails, just use the 0.5 mm pen and gently push the empty casing into the gs. The plasticard pipe/cocktail stick should be glued into place and greenstuff modeled to make sure it looks secured to the wagon chassis. The clay shaper and the saw can be used to create lines in the soft wood. Just be careful using the saw as it might damage the wood if press too hard. As said, just a short guide Edited April 28, 2013 by Balefirestorm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balefirestorm Posted May 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Burt... need I even say more? His legend is a legend... at least according to himself In my opinion one of Wyrds coolest and most characterful models so far. Going to be a pleasure to paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted May 7, 2013 Report Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sometimes simply gluing a model to a base at a different angle can nicely emphasize its features and that's a perfect example. Very gremlin-esque :Smug_Puppet2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbleachman Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Awesome shtuffs. Do tell me which colors you used for your Burt's jeans. Mine will end up being grey, but still I like the blue jeans a whole lot. :0 I actually didn't see your tutorial on that. I will look at it later when I get home from work. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine will end up being grey, but still I like the blue jeans a whole lot. :0 I started of with GW's Shadow Grey and added a mixed wash of Asurman blue and Agrax earthshade. After that I started off the highlights with Shadow grey mixed with Vallejo's Stonewall grey. Each extra layer with more stonewall. Finally a few splashes of Agrax earthshade on the knees and other places. Turned out better than I hoped for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Damn. That sounds really easy. I may have to try that out sometime. :0 Though I do not have the grey tones. Washes are easy to replace. I'd have to look into which grey tones you used exactly, since I do not know them off of the top of my head.

Viruk Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 The lighting makes it difficult to comment on the details but I can already tell they're coming along nicely. Great work on the jeans, I'll have to try your method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Quick question, do you mix the washes or are you putting them one on top of the other after it dries. I mix them before applying them. This is mainly due to the blue wash being very.... bluey? and dampens the cold of the blue wash somewhat as well. See if I can provide better pictures during the weekend. There's also a rumour going round that Francois will be wearing a malifools wristband.

Thank you for the kind words. Here's some new pictures of (maybe) better quality. Hope you'll like them. Noticed that I have to revisit Burt's barrel though, so it will be updated. After this I'm aiming at Ophelia and Raphael. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
