Seamus & His Living Impaired Ladies of Negotiable Affection

[JMGraham]

The copycat Killer is on it's way (along with a gunslinger). I've been proxying them in a crew with Seamus, Sybelle, 2 belles, gunsliger, and copycat killer (5 ss left over). They've been fantastic - a very fun crew to use.

@Goblyn - Just noticed where you're located. Are you on the Ordo Fanaticus boards at all? - Jim

I like the sytlised painting, the look quite striking and a very coherent crew

Got some new Malifaux stuff painted up that I thought I'd share. First off, I added a Copycat Killer and a Convict Gunslinger to my Seamus crew, along with a corpse counter and a couple of "Shafted" markers for the Crooked Men. Next up for Seamus I have a trio of Crooked Men and some more Corpse Counters.





I also finished up the 25 SS version of my second crew, the Viktorias. I'm particularly proud of the bases on these - I'm planning on doing a small display base for them with a waterfall, rocks, and a stream.

This is an Iron Kingdoms model from Privateer Press that I'm using as a Convict Gunslinger:


And the obligatory 3 Ronin







My next crew will be The Dreamer - I'm still trying to figure out the color palette, but I've settled on a suitably "Nightmarish" basing scheme. It might be a bit before I work on more Malifaux, though - I still have to update one of my Warhammer armies for 8th edition.

Wow, that's some awesome stuff! I really love the Seamus.

Wow! I love your style. The Viks are amazing. Mind if I ask you for a small tutorial? For example, how you painted those shadows and how you are able to achieve such a watercolor look and feel?

[dgraz]

You have a nice bold, crisp style. Very comic-booky; which I like a great deal.

I'm not sure if I like it or not lol, I love the way you limit your colour schemes within your crews, it makes them look very coherent. The comic book style is very good and divides the way I feel about the models.

Let me expand on that, I really like the overall effect of the style, it gives a very aesthetically pleasing crew which look lovely on the tabletop, however the single miniature painter in me/purist and perfectionist makes me want to not like them because of the stark highlights and large jumps between tonal layers. This is because I'm used to trying to get the smoothest blends if possible (within reason depending on the standard I'm trying to paint to) however the fact yours don't have that and almost looks cell shaded still looks lovely.

So after that essay in short I'm not quite sure what I think about them, I think they are good and brilliant within their own style however I personally don't paint that way, something to try in the future though methinks....

Wonderful work.
What 'pale green color' did you use? I really like it.
Personally I like how your 'limited pallete' ties them all together as a unit.

Nice work all around.
Great use of a limited pallet and some bold shading.

My fav... The Belle with her brolly over her shoulder. She reminds me of the mask from the movie Scream.
