Malistrad Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Hey, I meant to post all of my/my wife's crews over the summer, but it didn't happen; between a new job and a new city to move to, I haven't had time to take decent pics. Stay tuned for my Leveticus and my Lilith crews later. For now, take a look at my most recent model. Apologies to the iPhone camera quality. 10 points to the first post-er to identify the literary inspiration for Jakob's suit: Jakob Lynch by Hikaki4, on Flickr Comments and helpful critique appreciated! It's my first attempt into OSL, loads of metallics, and plastics in general. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lussuria Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 (edited) These look AWESOME!! And this is actually the first time I've seen a non-black base (that wasn't painted because of the basing object) that I actually love! Looks so good with the purple on the mini! And sorry, just to clarify - are these painted by you or your wife? Edited August 14, 2013 by Lussuria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentbadger Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I have to admit, if I'd heard that someone had done a gold suit for Lynch I would have been sceptical, but it works really well. The painting is very neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Looks great! My only critique would be to maybe black-line just a little to help seperate the jacket, vest and pants a bit,... but otherwise its perfect. *applaudes* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malistrad Posted August 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 @Gujozec: You win the 10 points! I totally forgot about Goldmember... but like I said, literary inspiration is what made me deduce gold is the only color the Honey Pot owner could ever wear! @Webmonkey: Agreed, but I'm anxious to wash so much metallics. I've only had trouble when either doing an ink wash or a purity seal with GW metallics. My original plan was to have a dark basecoat of Warplock Bronze to darkline the partition the clothes/shadows. But I'm still an amateur painter, and I over highlighted with the following golds. Might still wash later, but happy with what it is now before I overwork it. @Lussuria: I paint, my wife just has the Lilith crew. And continuously tramples me with it every game >.< @Csonti: I hope the below helps. I haven't made a decent light box yet, so I hope this is passable for now. Jakob 2 by Hikaki4, on Flickr Now on to business... until school starts (I'm a HS teacher), I hope to post part of my completed projects daily. First is my first Malifaux purchase back in 3rd book days... Leveticus. Not a good choice to learn the game, but I really wanted to try my hand at the necro-flesh/mech blend of the SPA's. This is not my best work; it's only my first crew painted... ever. Leveticus by Hikaki4, on Flickr Tomorrow, you choose! My wife's Lilith box set with alt. scuplt first, or Levi's Five Horsemen of the Mali-pocalypse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted August 15, 2013 Report Share Posted August 15, 2013 Awesome green levi! Also we want the APOCALYPSE!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malistrad Posted August 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Well, by a landslide vote of, well, one, here are the five horsemen! I tried to be accurate to the biblical horsemen for the first four. Makes me wonder... do you think there will be a gremlin rider for M2E? Anyway, in order as they were painted. Hooded Rider, or War, I tried to keep blood red and muscular. Hooded Rider by Hikaki4, on Flickr Mechanical Rider, or Famine, I was conflicted between a sleek, oil black stallion, or a dilapidated rust bucket. I got caught somewhere in-between, but if I was to do it again, I would do either/or. Green flame to tie into Levi's colors. Mechanical Rider by Hikaki4, on Flickr Dead Rider, or Death. Pretty straight forward, I like how the cloak came out (not in picture). Dead Rider by Hikaki4, on Flickr Pale Rider, or Conquest/Pestilence. The washes got away from me a little. I kinda gave up once I got to the Rider's flesh, i opted to keep stark black was more mysterious than highlighting any features. Will probably black-out hooves in the future... this grey didn't work. Head might be a little out-of-focus. Pale Rider by Hikaki4, on Flickr Finally, the illusive, fully painted, ALevi. Opted to paint the spirit horse the same green and gold/black armor. Avatar of Entropy by Hikaki4, on Flickr The gang all together: Five Horsemen by Hikaki4, on Flickr Now, the vote for tomorrow; Ashes and Dust with components, or Desolation Engine with second Waif and sacrificial Canine Remains?

Viruk Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Great work all around, really like the approach you took with the bibical theme. I haven't seen any other painted versions of aLevi but I like yours more than the one in Wyrd online store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussuria Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 Omg, that hooded rider is GORGEOUS!! Absolutely love all of them, but that one is my favourite! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webmonkey Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 I'm not saying to wash it, but rather to blackline it. Just run a thin black line down the inside edge of the jacket, to seperate it from the vest. And again across the bottom of the vest and jacket, to seperate them from the pants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmonkey Posted August 16, 2013 Report Share Posted August 16, 2013 For a good example, see Webmonkey's Garage Kits. Thanks for the shameless plug *wink* Riastrad>> Seriously though, if you are going to use my work as an example, I recommend looking at the kakashi stuff on pages 16-22. Its a prime example of blacklining. It doesn't work for all paint styles, but in this case, I just think it'll help keep all the gold from "bleeding into itself",... if that makes sense?

Malistrad Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 @Webmonkey: Cool, thanks for the tips! I'll definitely be looking at those pages. Do you have a particular paint/brush to recommend for such finite work? Tonight, Ashes and Dust. I tried to keep not only the green flame theme, but also the purple flesh theme of the SPA's present too, especially since AnD and SPA's synergize so much. I didn't quite get the bruised flesh quite right unfortunately (that's why you always save your mix notes!), let alone a non-attempt at OSL. This has been the only time I've been tempted to strip a model. Haven't yet though, 'cause I know the moment I open that can of worms, I'll never finish a model. With a whole Dark Debts to paint and minimal hobby time, I'm more concerned about finishing models, learning from mistakes, then moving on. So, here's the monster himself, aka "Grateful Dead" at tournaments: Ashes and Dust by Hikaki4, on Flickr His Dust Storm: Dust Storm by Hikaki4, on Flickr And (a poorly photoed... sorry!) Ashen Core: Ashen Core by Hikaki4, on Flickr As always, comments and critiques welcome up to this point. For tomorrow I'm going to be more cryptic; would you like a model from a Malifaux book cover (including M2E), or a pair I nickname Spring and Autumn?

Webmonkey Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Anything with a nicely pointed tip will do. And don't worry if the line seems too thick, you can always trim it back down to a thinner line using the gold again. Alternatively, you could go to your local craft/hobby store, and buy a couple different sizes of "micron" pens, and just draw the line in.
