Malifaux, midight theme

[James Littler]

Hi folks, I have all ways loved malifaux in general and we have been getting into it over at Golem painting studio. So i finally decided to buy the Lucas macabbe crew, which has some of my favorite miniatures of all time in and in general a cool theme.

I envisage the crew as group of wayward gentlemen, prowling the streets at night with clandestine intentions, or simply to entertain themselves with the misfortune of others. With this in mind i wanted to try out a midnight scheme, low ambient light from the moon, distant street lamps and all other ambient light sources.

These are the first two to be finished i hope you all enjoy, and should have more to follow up in the next few weeks.

These are awesome. Love the colors/mood/ambience/style/contrast/etc

 

[BloodFather of Kharnath]

How do you highlight and shade under these low light conditions?

 

[SkelettetS]

yeah nice gloomy mood here. great job

 

[DunErwit]

Great job; nice blending; decent, well fitting highlighting; atmosphere well catched. Looking forward for the others to come

"BloodFather of Kharnath" i decided that as in low light conditions objects become less distinct and more difussed in general, so i attempted to avoid extreme changes, and only used line highlights as an exception on the models. also i used a single grey colour within all of the separate colours.

Ahh that makes sense. Especially using the same grey color in every tone. Then you minimized the contrast, downplayed the highlights except for small areas of edge highlighting. Sweet.

Thanks for the comments. Almost finished the next wastrel and gonna start on the dogs this week.

They look great and I think the intricacy is in the simplicity of the colour scheme.
