Big Ned Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Hi guys, I've been on a bit of a painting kick for the last few months and I've gotten my showgirls painted up. So, I thought I'd post some (unflattering) pictures of the finished crew. The whole crew Colette Cassandra Angelica Mannequins Coryphee Doves Hope you like them Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MudgeBlack Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 Great looking crew, I like the paired opposing colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted December 15, 2012 Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Definately agree that the garish opposing colors look amazing on the showgirls. The colors are vibrant, deep and smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ned Posted December 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2012 Thanks guys. Like I said the pictures are unflattering but the best I could do. My camera isn't great and seems to have blocked out the colours. the blending is much smoother in real life. smooth blending is something I pride myself on. I omitted the close-up pics of the two performers as they look terrible in their close-up pics. even my wife (who doesn't game/paint) commented on how blocky the highlighting looked in the pics. I'm really happy with the crew and appreciate all the positive comments. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xKoBiEx Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Cassandra is too tanned. Sorry...had to nitpick. I hate (read love) nicely painted Showgirls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jormi_Boced Posted December 16, 2012 Report Share Posted December 16, 2012 Nice work on the Collette crew. I painted one recently and I thought it was a challenging crew to assemble and paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seregon Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 How did you do the bases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Wall Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Showgirls look really nice. Post picks of the rail crew when you get them done. I'd love to see how they turn out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Really nice crew i love the colour choices and the contrasts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 How did you do the bases? The bases, believe it or not, are just cut out discs from some textured plastic plates I had lying around @Inquisitor Wall, I'll get some WIP pics taken and posted soon @Underdog6750, Thank you, I tried to get as authentic burlesque feel as I could.

NIGHTHATER Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Big Ned, I really like your crew overall you made good color calls and painted with much accuracy. Your bases need something going on though as they do not complimate your well painted models and are just a gray eyesore overall.

LordDarcy Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 I'm about to paint this crew and so I was looking for ideas. This is a real great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelante Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Looks good, but you need to add some props to the bases I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't know why so many people are harping on the bases. They look fine. Often a little bit less is a lot more. I personally will have more scenice bases on my Colette crew, but I have to say that the simplicity of his bases do draw more attention to the models. And we all know that girls want all the attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RebeccaJo Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 +1. I am a big believer in simple bases. I think if you have a well painted crew, which you do, that keeping the bases simple will really let your models shine. Plus, I love that it is a plastic plate. Do you happen to remember where you got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelante Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't mean he should go wild, just to ensure there is enough contrast on the base so it doesn't just look like a solid colour from 4 feet away in poor lighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally will have more scenice bases on my Colette crew, but I have to say that the simplicity of his bases do draw more attention to the models. And we all know that girls want all the attention. Thanks. My idea was to keep the bases very simple to make the girls stand out and appear a bit aloof to their surroundings. @ Rebeccajo, I'm sorry I've got no idea where the plate came from, I got it from my Mom when she baked a chocolate cake (she makes amazing chocolate cakes) and I washed the plastic plate when we'd finished it. You'd probably be able to pick up the same pattern in plasticard at and arts and crafts shop. @ Pixelante, I understand what you mean, the contrast seems to be lost a bit in the photos but you can still see the texture from a decent distance away, across the table at the least.

peebs Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think base style is very much personal preference so if you're happy with it that's all that matters. The whole crew looks great, really nice painting and excellent colour choices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Indeed it all comes down to what you personally like. Though, don't be discouraged, should people recommend or suggest alterations or changes. They just wanna help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Don't worry about that. If I didn't want to hear what people thought I wouldn't post any models up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewomie Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 that is one heck of a positive attitude. Now if only we could get everyone thinking like you! i love the models btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
