Evilbleachman Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I may have some spare ones laying around. Not sure though. I still have lots of puppets. lol The green pigs are a result of the orange skin my Gremlins have. Since the original pinkish flesh tone for them is too similar to the orange one, I figured I would need something else. Brown was my first choice but I opted against it as I already had so much brown in my color scheme. Since my swamp bases have a greenish brown muck look to them, I figured a dark green would be optimal. Pigs like mud, so sitting around in mud, being green would enable them to blend in more and be safer from predators or able to hunt down food easier.

Evilbleachman Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Crappy pictures, but yeah! Progress! Also my first attempt at a flannel shirt. Tell me what you think! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingRodian Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 I like the gremlinette's flannel shirt, but the rear view of her short shorts....not so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted October 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Haha. Yeah I know. Her rear view looks pretty poopy at the moment. Soon those too will be painted up. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i_was_like_you Posted October 24, 2013 Report Share Posted October 24, 2013 Yup, now you did it. I have to track down one of those metal puppet gremlins to add to my own crew! I like the green pigs, but have never seen a green pig in person. What was the inspiration for those? Don't let him fool you. Green Eggs and Ham...

Gremlin+piglet puppets look grrrreat! Imagine being the only sane individual amongst a horde of tiny drunk creatures. xD Well I know he has a War Rooster so the Green Eggs should also be available. My eggs are actually golden. :3 My chickens purple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darguth Posted October 27, 2013 Report Share Posted October 27, 2013 Hell no! Didn't even bother. The lighting dulled out the miniature's details and paint jobs very harshly. I will have to do it with a professional camera from work sometime soon. Also I do have a family photo sans the above models: What kind of material do you use for the swampland in your bases? I'm assuming cork, but if you could give a little detail into what kind/manufacturer and where you get it, that would be awesome. I've used the Wyrd swamp bases for my Somer crew, but that's going to get expensive fast with all the new Gremlin stuff coming down the pipe. So I want to do something kind of along the lines of what you've done here. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without stealing thunder from EvilBleachman might I suggest a good look at this site to create your own Swamp Bases. Fairly easy, fairly cheap and usually more realistic looking than the pre-mades (this is how I have done all of my gremlin bases). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems pretty similar to how I made my board's swamp terrain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbleachman Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 OHNOES1 MAH THUNDURS!!!! Anyway, to answer the question: I purchased a 1' by 1' 6mm thick cork plate and rip it to tiny pieces for the models to stand on. I add some tiny rocks to the mix with white glue mixed in between so they cluster up. I prime my models brown so the cork chunk is automatically 'painted' for my purposes. I then paint the soupy and watery areas with a dark green and swirl in some light green and yellow for funky chunky stuffs. Then I paint the rocks a dark grey tone and highlight with a light grey tone. I dry brush tad bit of the cork with the same green and yellow tones I made the swirley whirlies out of. I wash the sucker with this mucky and nasty looking wash (can't recall the name right now). I let it dry. Varnish it afterwards and glue on some orange reeds and some leaves and other little scenic stuff. Then I add water effects and its done. Simple and really easy to do with hardly any effort. ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted October 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 And the finished models. At the moment I am working on some Infinity models for a change. After that two Waldgeists!

Viruk Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 Very nice work on these. The painting is excellent and the bases look awesome too. Those semi-submerged leaves are a really nice touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. flipflops, hoochie shorts, orange skin..... does that goblin live on the jersey shore? she would fit right in. as usual your painting and basing is superb. very nice.

RagingRodian Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I love your painting! I also don't think I have ever seen that much orange used. I think my orange paint bottles are feeling neglected by comparison.... I am also very impressed with how much detail you are getting out of those model in hand pictures. What kind of camera are you using? Is that so you don't have to set up any kind of backdrop? So what are you working on next? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my models will contain it in some way. I am just using my ****ty phone and ****ty lighting to take the photos. lol No secret to it. xD At the moment I have three Infinity models on the table to paint. After them I will do two Waldgeists for Zoraida and some sculpting for other Gremlin models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbleachman Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Yes and no. Mostly some alterations to existing models. 3 Gremlin models, to be precise. Even though two of them aren't gremlins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagingRodian Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 Hmmm......three models, all Gremlins but only 1 is a Gremlin. Could this be what you have in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
