WalkingInBlack Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Here is Ophelia LaCroix in Pink and with Blonde hair, the dark green skin seems to fit well with the pink... well ad least I think so Here is Ophelia LaCroix in Black and with brown hair, hmm well the dark green skin doesn't seem to go well with the all black outfit so I might have to redo or slightly alter it, the skin that is.

Mordeqai Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I may get banned for saying this, but Nikki Minaj comes to mind with your first Ophelia. But nice paint jobs, especially her bright lips, although I'd really lean on using the black outfit, as it seems a bit more Wild West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks. Ophelia with the pink outfit wasn't based on some one so it’s pure accidental Ophelia in black has/is still giving me some problem do to too many dark colors and I’m having a hard time to figure out what to do about it as she isn’t meant to have any bright colors, I did tri to do highlights on the black clothes but it seemed to me to just make it look like it wasn’t all black like I wanted/planed. They were originally painted to be used with something else then Malifaux, but who says that Ophelia isn’t changing hair color and clothes now and then I’m still planning to paint another miniature in her original colors and then another one in a dark red outfit, I was also planning to buy to more Ophelia miniatures to convert into pirates… ya I got a Ophelia LaCroix project on my hands I guess I did paint her crew from the box too, so she not all alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavicusPrime Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 I think I like the skin a little lighter on the gremlins, but personal taste aside, you've done a fine job on both versions. As for eye catching, Lady Lacroix in Pink is the one I'd put on the table. Post up the whole Lacroix gang you've got painted up so we can see how they look together on the table. -DavicusPrime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MinimumPhase Posted April 13, 2013 Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 While they both look nice, I really like the Ophelia in pink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalkingInBlack Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2013 Here is Raphael LaCroix, simple colors but as close to the picture on the card as possible and a little highlight here and there, no gun because it wasn't in the box. Here is Francois LaCroix, I like how the cigar ended up but it's not easy to se in this pic, I also tried to get as close as possible to the picture on the card with the exception of the skin. I'm still having problems with highlighting black so I might have to go back and redo the black areas. He doesn't have his pistol but not because it wasn't there but I'm thinking of giving him a diffrent pistol or something else. Rami LaCroix are giving me some problems and need to go back to the painting table, Pere Ravagé and his pig is painted but not on their base which need some rethinking or it's just me not happy enough with how it looks.

Evilbleachman Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 I dig the pinkness in Ophelia. Gremlins should be colorful, imo. Since they are such comical characters in the Malifaux universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Nice project. Have to agree with some of the others posting above about lightening up the gremlin skin tone a bit. It will make some of the more dark, black, or leathery outfits with a little contrast. Overall this is great stuff. Any idea how the basing will go yet?

WalkingInBlack Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) Hmm the bases, well the two Ophelias pink and black will get their own unique bases do to the fact that they were painted to be used with something else, but I’ll still be able to use one of them till I paint my version of Ophelia LaCroix in her real colors, the rest I'm not 100% sure about their bases except for Pere Ravagé which will have a swampy looking base. This is Pere Ravagé's Base, it's not finished yet do to the fact it still needs some minor things done on it, like the muddy water needs to be given a glossy look so it will look more like muddy water and I wanted to ad some rush or reeds. I have also started to collect things for my Pirate Ophelia conversion, but I'm probably not going to start that project before I finish my other things and I have to many ideas on how I want her to look, too many options, too little time and too many things to collect Edited April 16, 2013 by WalkingInBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted April 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Okay here is Pere and his Pig. I think the pig needs to get some of the areas redone, I tried to put on a thin layer of Elven flesh and it doesn't seem to give it the Malifaux pig skin color.

Evilbleachman Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Pigs actually aren't pink. It is a more human flesh tone, actually. I'd use Cadian Fleshtone with a sprinkle of pink and a pinch of purple to base coat and then add more flesh tone while working yourself up. Add Elf Flesh for final highlights.

Hmm well I use the paint I got ad hand and elf flesh looked to be the best choice because my dwraf flesh had dried out I think I'll try to use a light pinkish color, the flesh color looks a bit of when I look ad the other pigs seen in the pictures in the Wyrd online store, but I'll try diffrent things, my first version ended up looking like a roasted pig... that might have made sense in a way wouldn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted April 18, 2013 Report Share Posted April 18, 2013 Haha. I'd show you how it could look with mymethod... but I would have to pick up another pack of Piglets to do so. MAybe I will paint one for you and then strip it off later to repaint it. Or you could always just paint them green like I do. Green pigs FTW!

WalkingInBlack Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Here is my repainted Ophelia in Black, I painted her skin in a more light color and I "tried" to paint her top like Michael Evans did with Perdita in one of his Youtube tutorials... not really a success after my opinion. I think I'll try to redo the top ad some point, but I got a bigger mess to deal with ad the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted April 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Okay I took a look ad the picture before the repainting and the new one... ah well it doesn't look like such a big difference but I did use a brighter color so I’m a bit annoyed, however the miniature itself shows a big difference the skin color is brighter but seems to not show it in the pictures, but I guarantee you it’s brighter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted June 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2013 Okay here is a new picture of my Pere Ravagé's Base with a couple of added things, I wanted it to look a bit more swampy, what do you think, did I pull it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zac Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 I like the swamp look you have got for your bases. For the ophelia, I'd go for even lighter skin. As you said before, the dark clothes and dark skin make the model seem a bit dull, and I don't quite think there is enough contrast there yet. Looking at Pere Ravage, his skin colour looks fine, because he is wearing lighter clothes. Working out where the contrsts and accents are going to be on your model will really help them to "pop".

WalkingInBlack Posted June 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2013 Annoying thing now is that I can't find the time to do the rest of the things I need to do, plus I'm struggling with some ideas for the rest of the gang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback, ya a bit late for thanking you but better now then never , I have been thinking about making black-clothed Ophelia's skin more light, but I haven’t been able to go any further then the thinking part, being busy with other things tend to making it hard to get some painting done but I’m trying to get some painting done soon, and again thanks for the feed back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Okay I'm finished painting the Ohelia LaCroix box, only bases needs to be made except for Pere Ravagé's. Pics of Rami LaCroix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalkingInBlack Posted September 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Here are two Beckoners. This one still has some miner things to fix but beyond that she is almost finished. Hmm strangely enough the picture make her look half finished. This one... is just giving me trouble and I’m guessing it’ll take some time to finish her, but hopefully I’ll get it done… eventually Edited September 13, 2013 by WalkingInBlack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
