Seamus & His Living Impaired Ladies of Negotiable Affection

Thanks for the kind words, all! My style is definitely different, and it's actually gotten more and more stylized and extreme over the years. It doesn't always suit everyone's taste, but it does stand out. IMNSHO, it looks particularly marvelous when playing at a table-top distance. Everything can look quite harsh up close, but from a reasonable distance, the hyper-highlights really pop and let you see more detail at a distance than you would be able to otherwise see.

Glad folks like the limited palette. As someone who usually paints large armies, I've always tried to use a limited palette in order to create a sense of coherence without needing for everyone to wear a standard uniform.

Re: tutorials, there's not much I could say. I (obviously) use black primer, and generally pick one color (a little darker than what I want the main color to be) to use per area, and then add white to each successive layer, ending with pure white when possible. I don't mix a lot of colors, and keep good notes of all my recipes when I do. One exception to this is the pale green. I'm pretty sure that it's GW's Camo Green, green ink, and then blended from camo green through rotting flesh to white (I'd have to check at home to be certain).

I'm looking forward to working on some more Malifaux minis, but will likely be suidetracked with updating my Warhammer armies for 8th edition for a bit. I do, however, have plans for expanding my Vik and Seamus crews, and adding the Dreamer to the mix when the new book comes out.

Also, here's the diorama (and sole entry for that category) for the "Summer Showdown" in Wyrd's latest painting contest. As it was the only entry in it's category, it took first place (and, technically, last place) in that category:

Brilliant style. It looks like a combination of oil painting and cell-shading. Keep up the fantastic work. :]

I really like this stuff man. Kudos for sure. I like the Seamus crew a lot, but my favorite is the Vick's stuff. I dig the colors you picked for the whole crew.

excellent job, friend.

The latest edition to the crew, some Crooked Men, is below. I'm currently working on getting McMourning and friends painted and ready, with an eye toward expanding to Nicodem in the future.
