Elessarion Posted February 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 A few more random gremlins: I'm currently working on some werewolves for a mate and this was the first one I finished: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted February 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2014 Oh! I also forgot to post pictures of my awesome Christmas present from a friend of mine. I've made myself a swamp "board" to play my Gremlins on: I need a mat to go under it, but for now that is what I play on. So my friend decided I needed a big centrepiece for my swamp: He's left it to me to choose a paint scheme so that'll need some thinking about. Some details: Any suggestions for painting it up are gratefully received! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboy30672 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Congratulations!!! Like the others, it definitely shows that you're improving greatly with each miniature painted. It's true that all you really need to paint well are are few tricks and some well-placed paint, and you're on your way! I've been into miniature collecting and painting for many years and still love it. I hope you love it for a long, long, time, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted February 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 Thanks again for the kind words! So next on the painting table, while I was still in the right mindset, were Ophelia and crew: The lady herself Rami and his ballast piglet Francois, the coolest gremlin to ever wear a hat Raphael, the Bayou's Most Wanted And finally Pere Ravage and his amazing explosding piggies I did some Young LaCroix as well but I need to re-do the pics on them!

David Blank Posted February 15, 2014 Report Share Posted February 15, 2014 I really like how Francois came out. Looks good keep up the good work. My favorite is still the Pigapult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted March 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2014 So I'm bumping this for a bit of advice. I'm currently working on Vanessa and I wanted to get some ideas on how to paint her magic effect. In the artwork it looks like it's white where it's emerging from the staff and then getting darker. My thought was to paint the whole thing white, and then paint it the same way you paint fire; white and then work outwards getting darker as I go. But any suggestions are welcome!

Elessarion Posted March 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2014 So a couple more finished Malifaux minis for the count: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 One more finished mini: I was really pleased with this one - the angle of the rope isn't exactly right but I think he looks pretty gribbly! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Been sidetracked with some other stuff recently - but I wanted to share my latest Malifaux mini: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted June 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2014 A few more additions to my Viks crew: This is Applejack Ronin. This is Pinkie Pie Ronin. And this is Twilight Sparkle Ronin, who still might get a purple hair stripe. Next on the painting table, the ladies themselves! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoriangirl Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 What about eyes? I learned to paint white before skintone, then pupils of the eye and then skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 So last but not least - the terrible twins: Viktoria of Ashes Viktoria of Blood And all the girls together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Not got a lot of Malifaux stuff done recently, but I have begun my descent into the dark side and painted a couple of my Neverborns! Baby Kade: Candy: Technically these (along with my Iggy) will be mostly used for my Hamelin crew, but I'm basing them to match the rest of my Neverborn.

Elessarion Posted August 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2014 Had a bit of a break from Malifaux painting but I did manage to get a couple more Gremlins painted: Master of Magic - Wong And my take on the Gremlin with the Biggest Hat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elessarion Posted September 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2014 So after returning briefly to my first love, Gremlins, I've taken a wander back over to the Dark Side. I hear they have cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Elessarion, I really like your work. You a really good painter that is very accurate. I'm a little interested in some of your contrast detail between fingers and toes, and on the muscles. You don't use stains do you? I think you should look into it (if you don't) to help give more character to your models. It's really apparent when your look at models like Wongs hands.

Elessarion Posted September 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks! I tend to use washes - either brown/black for general shadows or for something like Wong's hands I used a green wash, highlighted back over with the base colour, then highlighted with a lighter green and then on the raised bits a few very thin layers of yellow glaze. And on Coppelius, he was a basecoat of blue, wash of dark blue, then a pale blue-grey drybrush to pick up the wrinkles and bumps in his hands.

Elessarion Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2014 A few more minis finished! My second go at the Terrible Twins - Alt Viks: Vik of Blood Vik of Ashes And some more Neverborn. Lelu: And FINALLY finished Widow Weaver!

Elessarion Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 So I've been keeping myself amused recently by painting a crew for a friend of mine who doesn't have a lot of spare time at the moment. The only problem with this is that he plays Guild, and my Gremlin-playing self is not down with that. I'll never get the smell off my hands..... First on the table to be done - 3 Latigo Pistoleros.

Elessarion Posted December 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Carrying on with the Guild crew for my friend - I moved into the Ortega clan! Abuela "Mad Granny" Ortega Papa Loco Nino Ortega It was very strange coming back to more realisitc skin tones after the Neverborn and Gremlins!

Elessarion Posted January 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 And the rest of the family are now all done! Francisco Ortega Santiago Ortega Enslaved Nephilim: And the lady herself, Perdita Ortega Was pretty pleased with these guys - I think my friend was too. Although the bad news is I might have to paint more for him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
