Colour scheme for collodi and co

[*Jack*]

Hey all, painting up a collodi crew, but I've hit a brick wall. What colour scheme to use. I always assumed I was going to use the one wyrd uses, because, well, it's damn nice, but a bit of thinking, and something like this tempted me:

Anyone have any thoughts, or painted their collodi something different?

Mine is based on a Desolate white/grey colour scheme as it's for my Leviticus crew. I think it works quite well.

I have an idea.. but I'm not going to share it :P

Out of those 2 I think I prefer the red. If there was more black added to theme.

Ok, well my idea was to do a brown coloured version.. in different shades to go with the whole "Wood" theme...

I kinda like Wyrd's. The light/happy colors work well with his backstory. What about pink/purple?

My boyfriend went for this colour scheme for his Collodi crew, although we didn't manage to do it so vibrantly. Collodi himself was painted based on the purpley-orange marionette in the middle. Lots and lots of colour looks surprisingly good!

Thanks for the replies guys, I've decided to go with the wyrd version, it looks great so I've started painting, but I've gone a bit darker and grimmer :p

Will upload pics when I get my camera working, cheers

It's funny, i feel the same way about this crew. Wyrd did such a great job with the studio mini's and no one else seems to post their pictures of him, so i have been wracking my brain trying to decide how to paint him. i was thinking red, but i'm not crazy about it after seeing the other picture you posted. I fear my rendition of the red will leave him looking just like Lucious. :P

anyway, good luck to you! I look forward to seeing your work as you finish him!

As we speak I'm working on mine. Collodi will definitely have a King In Yellow sort of theme to him. Dirty, disgusting, creepy. Yellow, red and black

Here's where I am so far with that.

Hmmm, when i first saw it, i thought to myself... "Oh jeeze, that's disgusting..." then i thought, "hey, that's exactly what he was going for! :D
I hate painting with yellow... i hate it with a passion that consumes my soul. i dig it on Collodi though. I can't wait to see the finished look on him with a couple of those puppets painted up around him. I keep saying him, but the book refers to Collodi as an "it"... lol
For me, i think i have decided to go with a mostly black, brown, grey, and red theme for the crew. I am painting them up as though they were characters from Sweeney Todd. I thought it would be cool to have Mrs. Lovett be the widow weaver when she finally drops, marionettes playing the victims, and of course, Collodi as the starring role.
I thought Collodi and Sweeny have a good deal in common. Both bring to mind dreadful creepy murderous stage performances.
