edonil Posted May 1, 2013 Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 ...O.o I think you need to do a tutorial on that technique, I want to steal it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 It is really easy actually. Basically you start off with teh base color, in my case it was turquoise, keep adding in the main highlight color to the batch, which was orange in my case. On the step before the initial highlight color you stop blending and then feather it out by drawing in thin lines with the highlight color. Repeat by adding a brighter color to the mix (in my case light orange) and keep adding tid bits here and there to make it brighter. If I would make it even brighter, which I am still considering I would add bone color into the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_Crucible Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 I really enjoy how you paint, and I'm so happy that you show it step-by-step now! It helps me get an idea of all the phases and how the colors evolve, and I really appreciate it! The coloring is very interesting. It looks a little strange compared to her hair and skin, so I can't wait to see how you finish her up and see how it all comes together haha I think the fading is AMAZING!

To be honest I only post all of these pics because I do not have the time to finish up a model in one day as I used too. XD I still want a bit of flow in this thread and keep it alive and thriving. The more people giving me input helps me get better at what I like to do (additionally to practice of course). I do have a pretty nifty tutorial guide in the works. There I will be posting everything. Literally everything needed to finish off one of my models. Still wondering if I should post it in a thread or make a PDF file out of it. Or heck, even both? Dunno quite yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. She is still a major WIP. Didn't get to do much yesterday either. Only have four super thinned layers of paint on her stockings/gloves. Dunno how many more layers I will need until I get the consistency I want. Thanks for the kneeded compliment. (Sorry I wanted to do puns. I do bad puns. Puns.) I still think I could have done better on them. Making the shades directly underneath her kneecap slightly less prominent/big. But I am content with the look/feel of the model as is and it wont be too noticable once the stockings are nice and dark. A bit more contrast there might actually help emphasize the fetishable parts. ;D The dress looks fantastic, love the effect as it feels magic and unique. She is a magical showgirl after all. I am pleased with the outcome as well. Mostly because I had no clue what exactly to expect. It was an experiment and one I really am glad I risked doing (If you can call it a risk on a model you can always repaint...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmdl1066 Posted May 9, 2013 Report Share Posted May 9, 2013 I worked in Frankfurt am Main a fair bit over a 6 month stretch a few years ago and it always cracked me up that the most common beer the guys from work would order was Fosters. A beer no Australian I've ever met will admit to drinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A beer no Australian I've ever met will admit to drinking. I can actually understand the idea of diverting to something different. If you swim in good beer all the time, even that can get boring occasionally. So why not try something new. Though... Fosters... D: I'd divert to Belgian or Czech beer before I go for anything else. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Here's a WIP on my most recent model. It takes freaking forever to paint these gals. I am also rather unhappy with how the cast came out. So many errors and small things. Most of them I couldn't fix without ruining the sculpt. Now with a splash of color! Just needs a bit more color and then of course the base! Then I will have the second model in my Colette crew finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Here's another quick update on the Mannequin. I added the final splash of color to her delights and now all I need to do is finish up the base and I will have the second of my showgirls finished and ready for the big show!

Final_Crucible Posted May 14, 2013 Report Share Posted May 14, 2013 Wow Bleach, I love the subtle colors of orange and blue on a beige dress!! And the shading you can do on such a light color is amazing I can really tell you have developed a trademark in terms of colors for your crews, and yet you do a great job of making them all unique - the Bleached Malifaux haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I am not sure how subtle they are. They kind of pop out! The dress is actually grey/white. HArd to tell on my crappy photos though. In my vision of Malifaux, everything has an orange tint to it. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 I didn't realize the Showgirls were Dolphins fans. Really those that mannequin is really nice. 've said it before your work with pastels is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted May 15, 2013 Report Share Posted May 15, 2013 Nice choice of colors. Now just paint the metal parts using darker shades and it should look great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks! And if anything those are Broncos colors. So yeah. Here is my finished Manequinn: You can get larger versions of the images here. Lemme see if I can pull this off as well as Viruk. <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Thanks! And if anything those are Broncos colors. So yeah. I don't know, there is an awful lot of white on her and that blue isn't exactly dark enough for the Broncos. Isn't Casandra from around them parts?
