First crew I've painted.

[RebeccaJo]

I've been playing Malifaux for over 2 years now. I recently bought my first actual crew and this is the first painting I've ever done. I'm actually quite proud of them.
C&C encouraged! :D

first miniatures ever? in that case I would say they are really good. The criticism I would give is that the colours are a bit the same, try a contrasting colour and they will look more lively. I would also reccomend trying more extreme highlights.

lastly, while it is nice with backgrounds to the photos, its quite hard to see the details of the minis with so busy backgrounds.

but in all, very nice!

Wow, id have said they looked good if they weren't your first mini's every, very nice

Not the easiest crew to pick for a first attempt at painting but job well done. I wouldn't have guessed these were your first minis if you hadn't said.

Not bad, actually very good for a first attempt. If you and Jewowie(sp?) ever get a change to meet with Mydnight and I I can also show you a few things you can do to these that are easy, and will kick the painting up another notch. Good job.

I will definitely take you up on that. :D

If you time it right you could see one of the two shows I'm lighting while you are here in Champaign. Have one running from around April 8th to the 28th, and a ballet in early May.

You are doing lights for a BALLET?! I used to be a dancer... lol. What troupe/show is coming through?

The most consise advice I could offer is on your highlighting. Your shading looks fine, but for highlighting, I'd suggest mixing a little {off-white/bone/bleached bone/unbleached titanium/whatever your paint line calls it} with your main colors (probably 1:3 or 1:4), to make a naturally slightly warm highlight, and paint this on the extremities, edges, and ridges.

For example, on Mischa, the shoulders, the top of the head, the top of the forearms, the billows in the cloth, the tops of the fuel canisters, and the knee.

As you get better, you can do more layers of this, progressing, or you can stop, depending on how much detail you want.

Lighting Coppelia for the Champaign/Urbana Ballet Company. Fluffy little piece, but should be a good enjoyable evening. Their Nutcracker is very interesting.
