Viruk Posted October 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 You do the bricks yourself? Nope, too lazy for that It's a resin base from Micro Art Studio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Very nice. I love your subtle colour choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Looks great but the base really steals the show. The brickwork looks fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 One of her legs hangs in the air like that. I guess I could have altered it slightly but in the end decided I like it like that and left it In the meantime I started working on the plastic puppet version of LJ. I didn't really know what to do with her base. In the ended I used some liquid GS and applied it to the base to create texture of material and cut three lines in it. I rolled some GS and cut seams from it. I'm pretty happy with the effect. Here's a sneak peek (sorry for the crappy quality)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagash13 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 man i really gotta get to puppet painting. I only have finished 6 out of the 44 in the box. i like the base. another popular idea is to glue a button to the base, and use one of the buttonholes as the hole to glue one of the "feet" to. i have seen people play them with raw unpainted buttons, painted up to match master colors, or just painted to get rid of the plastic gloss a raw button has.

Viruk Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Time for a small update. More pics and more LJs on my blog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 that escalated quite quickly from a puppet to an avatar LOL like what you did there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterdita Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Is that as breakable as it looks? Looks good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Is that as breakable as it looks? Looks good though. As I wrote on the blog, it feels surprisingly durable but I guess time will tell. As long is it's standing in my glass cabinet there shouldn't be any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacms Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 Really like these version of the avatar. The dark colours on the monsters? spirits? whatever she has in their hands really ties together really nice with her warm vibrant colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 Well, the results are in and this time round one of my two entries was voted second in The Trick or the Treat category. Death Marshals are the models that got me interested in Malifaux in the first place. The original metal miniatures were the first I painted for the game. I loved the new plastic versions the moment I saw the artwork. I think they fit in with the Halloween theme of the Rotten Harvest very well. Half alive, half undead. In the service of "humanity" but using methods in their work that can be described as anything but humane. They are specially trained to help with the Ressurectionist threat but are used freely whenever Guild's business needs to betaken care of. I used the "classic" color scheme. I like it a lot and I also thought it would nicely contrast with the greenish flames. The flames were finished off with a glow in the dark medium. While I really like the dynamism of these sculpts, there's one thing that bothers me. The kneeling one is completely out of scale. He's much larger, which could be OK on its own. However, his coffin and Peacebringer are also way too big compared to the other two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted November 21, 2013 Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 I seem to remember something Eric was saying about him being intentionally too large? But, yeah, that doesn't really explain the oversized armament. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0777218 Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 beautiful models, I like your green fire and contrast between the french coat and the blue pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacms Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Another one easy to recognize on the entries, you need to stop using glow in the dark paints otherwise I will always know which one is yours . Great job on those. Curiously enough the metal DM were also the models that got me into the game in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 These looked great and were instantly recognisable as yours. Congratulations on your second place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterdita Posted November 22, 2013 Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 Congrats Viruk! I too loved the originals but these really cool as well. The flames look sweet and really stand out as they should. Great job as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted November 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Thank you for all the positive feedback, you're too kind :1_Happy_Puppet1: I almost forgot about my other entry. She didn't do that well in the competition as this entry didn't place in the top 3 in the "Witches and Warlocks" category but I was still quite pleased with the effect.

SpiralngCadavr Posted November 23, 2013 Report Share Posted November 23, 2013 Hi, was wondering what the 4th photo (dark, short, wide) was? I couldn't identify it, and there wasn't a point in asking during the comp... Pretty funny piece. The 5th angle really show how far forward she is.
