Sholto Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Molly's crew is on my painting table, and the first one off it again is Molly herselfness. Because she is the Leader. No Seamus. No Master of any kind. Just Molly and her Crooligan Apocalpyse, coming at you like a velvet centipede: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenoir Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Really nice work! Very vibrant colours for her dress - was it done via an airbrush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 It was, thanks. An Iwata Neo, using Vallejo Air paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daemonkin Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 Really impressive. Would love to have the guts to do individual models with an airbrush. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sholto Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Would love to have the guts to do individual models with an airbrush. Zero guts required, tbh. I started with a primed model. I sprayed the yellow on in a nice even coat, not worrying about overspray, since I would paint over that later. Then I went back in with some orange and hit the bottom of her dress, making sure to keep the airbrush at a distance so that I got a smooth transition from orange into yellow. That was it with the airbrush A wash of Gryphonne Sepia helped tie in the colours and define the edges, and the rest of the model was done with traditional hairy stick techniques. Airbrushing a single part of a model like this is dead easy, and the result is more than worth it I reckon. EDIT: and I just realised I haven't painted her feet :slap: Edited October 29, 2012 by Sholto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sholto Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Cheers, all Here are some more models in her crew: The base for the Rogue Necromancy will be built up so that its feet are actually touching something! I found the neck joins were terrible, and basically just cut them off and made my own joins out of greenstuff. Adding hair and fur hides the joins nicely. The Grave Spirit is a very easy model to paint! Airbrush a dark brown/ grey mix at the bottom, blend into a medium grey in the middle and then blend up to Vallejo Rotting Flesh at the top. Then a wash of Sepia and Brown with some drybrushing blends it all together. Very easy. Ponto was a bit of an experiment with metallic tones, and is not completely successful, but has taught me a thing or two. I may well go back and give her a pink ribbon PS. to give you an idea of how easy the airbrushing stage is, here are the 10T Brothers with just the airbrushing done. Yellow on all the clothing, then Leather Brown from a very low angle, and then a mix of Yellow/ White from a very high angle. A wash of Gyphonne Sepia ties it all together: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddywhack Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 That is probably the best rogue necromancy I have seen. I don't even normally like the model, but you made it look great! Might have to give this airbrush thingy a try. Can I ask what make/model you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentbadger Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Amazing miniatures, though Molly is the stand-out for me. I look forward to seeing them destroying me on the table top at some stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
