So while I was painting these guys, I found myself saying, "You are dead sexy" 'cause with the sharper contrast of the lighter grey (I'm not at white yet) they are just looking hot!
And here they are doing the "I'm too sexy for my shirt" dance





Add white highlights, maybe some spots of colour for eyes and such and done!

Stupid superglue... need superglue, then I'll be done!

So I have pictures of the finished bots... but my battery died before I could upload them, and my back up battery is dead also... sorry y'all. you gotta waits till tamaury for sexy zondbot action.

Well batteries should have charged by now Lets see em?

Here they are!






PS I still need ideas for the angel.

Hmm... does that angel have a codpiece? You're a good painter, by the looks of this thread; I've been following it for a little bit, after accidentally stumbling upon it, so as a matter of relevance, is the angel to keep the same scheme as the others or is it to be a more or less just angel hanging about with the... robotic 3 armed blokes and the Clockmaker?

The angel is going to be a gift for someone, so it doesn't have anything to do with the other guys. As for the cod piece... kinda. His... robe is 'girded' around his loins... but yeah, pretty much.

Also, you mention the angel's codpiece, but not the huge cod piece on the little robot dudes? lol

Glad to hear from ya.

That's not a cod piece, that is a fluid drainage system.

Here is the start I got to today with the gift angel I'm trying to finish in the next little while.

Colours are blocked in on the body and sword, the wings are pretty much done.






I'm hoping to make a semi transparent white for the robe. I plan on working the hair to white at the crown and having the grey at the end. The blue is a little of colour and the base is kinda to contrast/bring out the blue. The base will have all the details painted bleached bone, grey and white, leaving that ruddish colour in between.

By the emperor, the primarch is back! (refering to Sanguinius) That's a realy nice model youv'e got your hands on mate. It's a painters dream, think about the blending on the skin and I'm shure with your skill it will be awesome.

Hoe to see more soon.

Hope* to see more soon.

I told you! Codpiece/ cloth container!

The wings look amazing. Hoping for a close up of those when you can.

I second a close up of wings, they look really good.

The blue looks currently a bit out of place, hope you get it blended in with the rest.

Great start!

Being sick for the last couple days has put me out of it. But I got a little done on the base and hair today. Next I'll tackle the skin (scary) and keep pushing off doing the robes I'm starting to feel rushed and I just started! I only have 2 weeks left to finish it up! And the PPress league to keep up with too! Oh scary oh my oh me. Anyways, I've stalled long enough for my photos to upload, so without further ado...

Here's showing off the hair. I had a lot starker contrast from the darkest grey all the way to white at the top, but that got lost when I inked it to bring out the texture of the hair... le sigh




The base, I just brought out the bones and the stone... pretty straightforward



higher res wing pics... with the link to the gallery so that they can be zoomed in on.




edit: PS oh, I guess I didn't explain last post and it wasn't before. I highlighted the sword. You can see it in the wing pics too.

So I started the robes today. Overall, pretty happy. Not done, not clean, there will be touching up and there will be some highlighting still, but I'm liking how it looks so far.

Some of my problem is I have no clue what a good shade/highlight for bleach bone is. Like, its kinda a really white brown, and you can't just add black or white to it to get your low and high tones (maybe you can add white, but definitely not black) So if you have idea help for me there, I'd appreciate it.

GW's khaki and earth work fine in shading bone. You have to be careful with them, they are quite strong color, that will make too stark transitions easily.

White works as highlight, just be careful not to add too much too soon as it too tends to overpower the base color.

I would blend a colour on the shading and highlights. Khaki blended with bleached bone, graveyeard earth with bleched bone etc. Try what works best for you and I'm sure you will work it out

Well, I have been doing bits and pieces for the last couple days, and should've posted yesterday when I did a lot, but here it is now.

wow what company makes that angel model? Thoughs wings are awesome.

Now that angel has really taken on a whole new level of awesome. You are one skilled artist, Demi

@Vlad Freebooter minis. And I believe you can just order the wing solo even.

@Kaeser Thank you very much.

Just the bases so far, and drilling for pinning to the base. I forget how I painted my zondbots already... man I got a bad memory. I'll have to read my own log!

I love how you made the fabric look sheer by adding the skin tone to it.

Got the idea from somewhere else, first time trying it and it was a lot easier then I thought it would be.

So, yeah... What happened? Kinda my life went into controlled chaos with doing all the paperwork necessary for a move with work and so I kinda just let everything go. I didn't email my friend weekly like I should of, didn't paint anything, just kinda cruised and did everything I needed to in order to get over here. Here being the UK. Now that I'm here and kinda settled, I've been reading a bunch of stuff and decided I would finally work on the Malifaux stuff that has been sitting around. So with out further ado, here is Viktoria, Bounty Huntress. (Pardon my photos, don't have a proper setup here yet, or even a lamp)







The hair was a huge pain, and I kinda just went with it at this point. The next one I think will be a lot easier, just do it in greys, and sepia wash for tone. The blade was fun, using blue, purple and green wash to try and get a kinda 'magical strike' look. Some of those pics are pretty bad but I hope you like it. I hope to have a lot more to follow.

First is yesterday's Vik with her base.

This is the other Vik WIP, I'm leaving the centre leotard black to kinda tie in the colours with the first one. Besides that, it's late and I don't have much to say. Didn't work on her all day, I would've loved to have done the two Viks in two days but oh well...

They're Done!!! wooooooot.

So the sword mistress was a little annoying, the flesh just didn't scream Highlight me so I had to redo parts of it 'cause I screwed it up the first time round. The hair was a lot easier but you can kinda see the grey if you look close. At tabletop, it looks great, and so much easier that I'm happy. The gem on her shoulder looks great but I don't know if it came out in the pic. Anywho, here's the the 360 view of the pair.











Yeah, the gem doesn't show well, the sword tints don't show well. Wish I had a better set up for this. Anyway, hope y'all like 'em, they were neat to paint and look great now that they're done. Just have to seal 'em now.

Light not working, so no pictures, but Taelor is coming along nicely and should be done soon.

The Victorias look nice, I like the colors you've selected for them. The base inserts bring them to life.

So here is the melee monster Taelor, the third beauty in my Malifaux crew so far. Was fun to paint, kinda wanted to get a kinda army fatigues look to here, hence the paints. Doesn't really scream army, but I think she came out nice. Anyways, I guess Bishop is up next as he's primed, but I'll get back to femme fatals with Ronin or my 'Hans' soon.
