Adepticon is happening this weekend, and I'm looking forward to bringing my pieces again to the table (and hopefully avoiding any cars this time around). So let's go ahead and get some pieces out that I've gotten ready for it:
First up is Sonnia. I'll be fielding her as my master for the team tournament. This was a fun and straightforward paintjob. I actually went a little further than normal and tried to give the lips a little saucy definition. I think the efforts paid off though as a friend and fellow painter commented that she looks just like Drew Barrymore.
Another addition for my crew during the team tournament is my third Witchling Stalker:
Unlike my other two Witchling Stalkers I went with more of a desert theme. I normally like to have consistency across the board, but felt that these guys looked sneaky enough to branch out. If I had to paint up another one I'd do him up in white and grey for a snow look.
If you have enough Witchling Stalkers you're going to want someone who can keep things in line:
The Witchling Handler came out pretty decent. I hate using multiple browns in one figure as it becomes a challenge to actually get them distinct enough. I was happy with how the boots turned out though, and feel that the model stands really well.
For the Malifaux 2E qualifier I'm going to be fielding my Arcanists. I had a few more minis left to paint up. The first of these is Joss:
There's a lot that I like about how this model came out. The jeans and shirt were pretty close to what I was going for, and I think I might need to use a little more water when I do the grey basecoat for my whites. The skin came out a bit darker than I was intending, but I'm still very satisfied with it. There's enough definition and highlight to help the details stand out. Special thanks go to a friend of mine who suggested a blue jay feather for the one in his braid.
Last but not least is the Arcane Effigy:
This guy was a little confusing to paint. He looks different, has two coats, and a bunch of little details here and there. With only one thin contact point for the base I'm going to have to be careful how I handle him. The other thing that I really need more practice with is doing jewels and gems. I keep thinking about taking an art class with the goal of getting a better handle on lighting, which I think will help strengthen my painting overall. Personal note: I am very please with how the picture came out.
This weekend I'll be engaged in games and hunting for swag. Meanwhile I'll be watching the Super Dungeon Explore: The Forgotten King kickstarter, and scouting the dealer's room for some SDE minis to paint up in practice. The only thing on my table otherwise is a small commission for my friend.
