Great work, Minus! The textures on the clothes of the survivors is astounding!
You're successfully tricking my brain into imagining those textures are actually there and as far as i'm aware that's top of the rung painting! But we already new you were the best of the best.
I forget, do you have any Golden Daemons? If not you definitely should!

Thanks Gitsplitta. I'll do my best to not disappoint you.

That's no coincidence, the guys who made the game decided to make the survivors really stereotypical. I mean REALLY.
So you have a geek that looks like Sheldon Cooper, a cop that looks like Rick Grimes, another on is very similar to Bruce Willis. Add a Latino with two huge machetes (meet Machete), a goth Girl (hello Aby), a crazy Businessman called Doug (like in "Michael Douglas")... I doubt there's any coïncidence there. ^^
In the limited edition, you could even get... Chuck Norris. So sad I missed it. :-(

Thank you.
I'm not really used to paint clothes, I generally paint power armors or so on. So painting blue-jeans or converse shoes is definitely new to me.
Casey's Law wrote:I forget, do you have any Golden Daemons? If not you definitely should!
Haha, no I don't.
I didn't even enter such a contest yet. The only contest I ever took part was Gothicomp, an online painting contest about BattleFleet Gothic. I won the fleet category with my Imperial fleet, wich you can see in my dakka gallery.
To be honest, I don't think I have the required level for a Golden demon. But now because of you I'm thinking about entering next year... just for fun ! Let's see if I find a motivating project for this !
My WIP survivors, a few steps later (the skin is NOT finished, there's only a basecoat there ^^ ) :

I'm not so sure, but now I wanna try. I have a friend that is planning to paint some models for next year's Golden Demon, I'll participate with him.

At first I wanted to paint him a Flash T-shirt, but then I saw his Green Lantern one. As I don't paint green that often (as opposed to red, that I always use) I had a go on it !
Happy that BBT fans appreciate that.

I am really happy with Rick. I had really NO IDEA how to paint him, particularly what colors to use for his uniform. And in the end it turned out pretty good.
Considering Rick is my favorite character in the game, with Bruce Willis (seems that I like cops ^_ ^ ), I feared I could paint it quite bad, but I didn't. The more I was painting him, the better I liked him.

Haha.
I have never made comission works. 'til now I only paint for myself, or for friends. However, I can think about it.

Haha, don't worry man i was half joking anyway. Although i would certainly consider it at some point next year if you were up for doing a one off. If you're not into the commission thing maybe i could trade you for something. I don't know if i have any skills that you could use though, my painting is pretty rough. Conversions maybe?

I'm not against doing commissions, I just never thought about it. If I have an occasion to paint an interesting mini and make some money in the process, then why not.
I don't think I'll ever paint an entire army, though. I have too much armies to paint for myself.
Anyway, I'm really pleased that you like my paintings, and I'll try to do my best on the next models !

Yeah true !
If I recall correctly, it's the same actor that plays "Machete". I have seen that movie quite a long time ago, but I'm almost sure it's the same guy !
This proves that the model designer made a good job !

Yep !
I never recall his name, in my mind he is "labeled" as "Machete", whatever the movie I see him in. ^_^

I never heard about his story. Didn't know he had been in jail and so on.
I didn't even know that the tatoo on his chest was a woman with a sombrero !
Gitsplitta wrote:Some of his quotes are freakin' hilarious.
Any examples ?
Talking about Danny Trejo and his tatoos, has anyone tips on how to paint them. What colors to use to get that typical dark blue tatoos are generaly made off ?
I would like to add some on Machete's model.

From the Bio on his IMDB page. (discussing how he started acting) Then this other guy comes over and says, "Hey, you're Danny Trejo. I saw you win the lightweight and welterweight title up in San Quentin." And I go, "Yeah. You're Eddie Bunker." I had been in prison with him. And he was a writer. We started talking, and he asked, "Are you still boxing?" And I go, "Well, I still train." And he said, "Do you want a job? We need someone to train one of the actors how to box." And I said, "I got a job. They're going to give me 15 bucks for acting like a convict. What's this pay?" He said, "It pays $320 a day." So I said, "How bad do you want this guy beat up? gak, for 320 bucks-" And he goes, "No, you have to be really careful, this actor's really high-strung. He's already socked a couple of people." I said, "For $320, man, give him a stick. I'll fight Godzilla for 320 bucks." I started training Eric Roberts how to box. Eric wanted to learn how to box, and I think he was scared of me, so he'd do whatever I told him to do. Andrey Konchalovskiy, the director, saw that he would do whatever I told him to do. I guess Andrey had some problems with it. So Andrey comes over and hires me. He says, "You be in the movie. You fight Eric in the movie." And that's where it started. From that day until right now, I've got 183 movies.
Funny... and amazing all the same. Came to the set to give someone drug counseling and left with a new career. Guess it's more of a story than a quote, but you get my drift.
