Viruk Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thanks for all the c&c's about aPerdita, they have really kept me going. I've had this miniature for about a year and it took me a few afternoons to finally paint it. I've also cleaned up the beast's skin since the last update. While working on her, I also painted the classic Perdita. I didn't copy all the pictures here but you can see them on my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttsgosadow Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Dang, these pop-out great! That's a style I want to master (just like you)! Non avatar Perdita is such a beatiful sculpt. She's badass. Added your blog to my reader while at it. Your stuff looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TekDekay Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Wow, I love the contrast between the blue of the body/wing structure and the brown membranes on the Avatar Perdita model. It makes it a very eye-catching piece. Lightening the wing structure and the additional glazes certainly worked out well! Not to mention the normal Perdita is totally sweet!

Turelio Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Both Perdita's look awesome. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Looking good! The blue and brown combination is really lovely (for both minis). Everything looks incredibly smooth too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I took some time off working on the current Hobbit project (one afternoon to be precise and put together some of Malifaux stuff I bought this summer. Lucas McCabe and his crew are some of the best looking plastic miniatures I've ever worked with. The wastrels are my big favorites but Sidir is a winner too. I'm only a bit disappointed that Lucas himself seems a bit too large compared to other members of his crew... While I like the fluff and the looks of Guild riflemen, putting them together was a big pain. There are so many pieces to each of these that even though these bits fit together nicely, gluing them in place was still a challenge. Some of the elements are really tiny and attaching them was really tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Great looking Perdita! Really nice painting! Looking forward to seeing those guild models painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterdita Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 I love that Perdita model and you did a great job on it. looking forward to Jacob's crew. How did the rifleman compare to the ten thunders archers? (if you put those together) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 How did the rifleman compare to the ten thunders archers? (if you put those together) Haven't had a chance to work on TT archers so can't really tell. The main challenge in putting together the Riflemen was that there are many really small pieces like holsters, sheathes and gluing them was tricky as they needed to go in into slots that were places in areas that were not easily accessible. A challenge, but an enjoyable one for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilbleachman Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Pretty damn good Perdita. Also I want your crystal recipe. Its sooo good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Pretty damn good Perdita. Also I want your crystal recipe. Its sooo good.] I started with VGC Falcon Turquoise (about three thinned down layers to get good coverage), followed by a wash of Gulliman Blue. After that I started building up highlights using base color with VGC Livery Green. I kept on adding more of the bright green to the mix for successive layers (of course, all the time keeping it watered down) and added a little white in the end for the edges.

Viruk Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 (edited) I figured that since the new issue of Wyrd Chronicles is out I can now freely post these pics here as they won't spoil anything.
