Iron Heel Posted April 2, 2012 Report Share Posted April 2, 2012 (edited) UPDATE 6/13/12 Iggy joins the crew! Despite the fact that he is out-of-faction, I opted to go with the same scheme and keep the visual theme. UPDATE 4/12: Kaeris done! I was compelled to do the hand flames because her hands were a bit miscast with really short ugly fingers. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the end result. The base flames are from a Wyrd fire basing set; notice the burned grass. I am not as happy with this as the fire on the gamin, but after working and reworking it I opted to just decide it was done. UPDATE 4/7; WIP Kaeris: Hello All, This is the beginning of my first Malifaux crew. The gunsmith proxy is a PP figure from their IK-RPG line; her skin/hair was inspired by Daenerys in GoT. I don't usually go for thematic & unified color schemes, but I figured I would try it out with this crew...basically, I am sticking to warm colors with some Earth tones mixed in. This was my first time painting fire ever...I think that they turned out pretty well. Edited June 14, 2012 by Iron Heel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruglyother Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 I like your color choices. Kind of wish I had gone that way, but I've been keeping my arcanists somewhat muted. I think you are doing quite well at the unifying elements, and your fire is great. Looking forward to seeing more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jack* Posted April 7, 2012 Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 Never seen a red scheme used on Kaeris and I think you pulled it off very well Hate the female gunsmith model with a passion, but love the proxy and the fact you have a crew thats all girls is very cool for theme Let me know if you dont want the male gunsmith, I'll definitely make an offer if you're in the UK. I like the skin of the gamin, but not the fire :/ You did what eavy metal used to do on all the games workshop models with fire on, which was to highlight the opposite way with a darker colour on top. I just dont like it very much, but thats my opinion, and your technique is good either way Keep it up, I'd love to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Heel Posted April 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the compliments. I am pretty happy with them thus far. I picked up the "reverse highlighting" idea by looking at the studio painted gamin. I've got the male g-smith ready for colors, but once K is done, I'm going to shift time over to my "wicked carnival" Zoraida/Collodi list...with killer kl0wn Killjoy!

El Indio Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Nicely done! I dig the eyes on the Fire Gamin; you made them look quite devilish. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the bright red/earth tone color scheme (sort of the opposite of the "black ops" idea I've got for my own eventual Kaeris crew), but you did a good job with it. IIRC, that Gunsmith stand-in is an old Privateer Press model, some Ordic Pistoleer, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Heel Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thanks. Yes she is from their IKRPG line. I got her at a flea market just because I always liked the model. I am glad to find a use for her. I usually go for dark & muted tones, but iwanted to push myself and brighten a bit. Afterall, fire is not really a subtle weapon anyway. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewomie Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Haha, i used the same flame insert on my Kaeris! great minds think alike, eh? Nice work though. i like the alt gunsmith. Not sure i like her more than the male one, but she's a good proxy anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
