Foxshade Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Hey all. After a long 4 or 5 year break from painting, I discovered Malifaux. So...I sold all my warhammer stuff and bought a crap load of Wyrd figurines. I finally got the inspiration to paint again, but still a wee bit rusty. I definitely don't have the "eyes" I used to have, (I'm pushing 43 now) but,... I'm slowly getting my painting groove back. my 1st 2 crews are Lilith and the showgirls. After that...who knows. Collodi and Hamlin? Any ways, here's a few of the models I've completed so far. Comments and CONSTRUCTIVE criticism are welcome~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guild Monkee Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 They look great, the cards in collette's hand make a big difference to the look of the mini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Indio Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wow; I love Collette's stream of cards. How in the sam hill did you do that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxshade Posted March 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Wow; I love Collette's stream of cards. How in the sam hill did you do that? I orinally was going to use some super thin flowering wire that I used a long time ago for my wood elves, and arc it from her hand and attach cards and tiny stars to it. But i decided to simply super glue the cards 1st to see if that works. And it did~! The cars are very light in weight. I used the thinnest polystyrene that I had. Cheers~!

Bruglyother Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I must say that that is amazing work. Apparently the eyes haven't lost their touch. I am really looking forward to seeing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Heel Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Impressive work on the Colette crew. Love the cards and basing; it really gives the feel that they had to open up a can of whoop-ass in the middle of a performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anger Worm Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 The Colette crew has a great backstage feel. My girl and I both woah'd the card flipping. great touch! Quite like the steely blue color scheme throughout those Neverborn. Welcome back to the hobby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requirement Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 I absolutely love to cards, like everyone else. I also love the dove on the table. Creative basing for an otherwise dull figure. If this is your painting without your eyes, I can't wait to see what you do when you get the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moetle Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Magnificent ! The cards on Colette are fantastic. Seems you still got your eyes to me. I'm going to "permanently borrow" that card thing if you don't mind. I love the Lilith crews color scheme Shadow grey basecoat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inquisitor Wall Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Both crews look great. Like others have said, the cards on the Collette crew are a great touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you~! and yes, shadow grey is the basecoat, adding white to lighten and highlight. One of my favorite colors to work with. cheers~! fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 shadow grey is the basecoat, adding white to lighten and highlight. One of my favorite colors to work with. You and me, both. I love that color. Also, nice job, the cards are particularly good! (Though it seems Colette isn't-- she seems to have dropped a few in her trick :Sad_Puppet2:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxshade Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Small update. The bare Cassandra model is not quite the way I would personally prefer. I have a few alt models in the waiting, but I decided to see what I could do. As you can see, I swapped out the sword with a GW cross-piece, and a plastic card blade. I had a whole bunch of spare feathers. NOW,.... This is more showgirl like to me. Comments, critz, and suggestions as always welcomed. cheers~! fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 The addition of the feathers look really nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruglyother Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I am so stealing the feather idea...when I get around to Colette. (In a few years at the rate I paint.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darios Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 Feathers really add to the style! +1 for that... impressive crew! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxshade Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Next up is my performer I've been slowly working on. Still have a few things left to do. ( cards or flowers on the stage?) For the mirror, I used a piece of broken CD, and actually does reflect. Next up.... A mannequin! Hope you like. Cheers~! Fox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
