*Jack* Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Hey all, painting up a collodi crew, but I've hit a brick wall. What colour scheme to use. I always assumed I was going to use the one wyrd uses, because, well, it's damn nice, but a bit of thinking, and something like this tempted me: http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RsbtlyD_z9M/TocR5CKgocI/AAAAAAAAAHA/oIB43v2U6AA/s1600/collodi.9.2011.jpg or http://i931.photobucket.com/albums/ad154/brushmistress/Wyrd/group.jpg Anyone have any thoughts, or painted their collodi something different?

magicpockets Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Mine is based on a Desolate white/grey colour scheme as it's for my Leveticus crew. I think it works quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regnak Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I have an idea.. but I'm not going to share it Out of those 2 I think I prefer the red. If there was more black added to theme. Ok, well my idea was to do a brown coloured version.. in different shades to go with the whole "Wood" theme... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirarii Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I kinda like Wyrd's. The light/happy colors work well with his backstory. What about pink/purple? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 My boyfriend went for this colour scheme for his Collodi crew, although we didn't manage to do it so vibrantly. Collodi himself was painted based on the purpley-orange marionette in the middle. Lots and lots of colour looks surprisingly good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jack* Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Thanks for the replies guys, I've decided to go with the wyrd version, it looks great so I've started painting, but I've gone a bit darker and grimmer Will upload pics when I get my camera working, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizz666 Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's funny, i feel the same way about this crew. Wyrd did such a great job with the studio mini's and no one else seems to post their pictures of him, so i have been wracking my brain trying to decide how to paint him. i was thinking red, but i'm not crazy about it after seeing the other picture you posted. I fear my rendition of the red will leave him looking just like Lucious. anyway, good luck to you! I look forward to seeing your work as you finish him!

Thechosenone Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 As we speak I'm working on mine. Collodi will definitely have a King In Yellow sort of theme to him. Dirty, disgusting, creepy. Yellow, red and black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thechosenone Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?p=360796#post360796 Here's where I am so far with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twizz666 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hmmm, when i first saw it, i thought to myself... "Oh jeeze, that's disgusting..." then i thought, "hey, that's exactly what he was going for! I hate painting with yellow... i hate it with a passion that consumes my soul. i dig it on Collodi though. I can't wait to see the finished look on him with a couple of those puppets painted up around him. I keep saying him, but the book refers to Collodi as an "it"... lol For me, i think i have decided to go with a mostly black, brown, grey, and red theme for the crew. I am painting them up as though they were characters from Sweeney Todd. I thought it would be cool to have Mrs. Lovett be the widow weaver when she finally drops, marionettes playing the victims, and of course, Collodi as the starring role. I thought Collodi and Sweeny have a good deal in common. Both bring to mind dreadful creepy murderous stage performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
