Howdy, Deadlands Noir... More Noir por favor, Kev!

This is a commission job for a friend to use as his Sorcerer in a D&D game. He gave me these directions: "I want the colors to be bronze (he has bronze dragon lineage). Flaming ginger hair. Highlight colors can be gold and purple or red." He wanted the coat to be bronze and metallic so this became my first attempt at painting metallic cloth. Work in Progress

This is going to be a well traveled miniature as I brought it to paint while on vacation. It is a commission job for a friend to use as his PC in a D&D game. He had bought the miniature already and gave me these directions: "I want the colors to be bronze (he has bronze dragon lineage). Flaming ginger hair. Highlight colors can be gold and purple or red." With this in mind I did a few mock ups to test different combinations and this was the one liked best: So, yeah this will be interesting. He wants the coat to be metallic bronze and I have not attempted to do metallic cloth yet. I was leaning towards a purple coat and bronze vest but it is his mini so he's the boss. I have started to work on him and he did required some clean up as he had a nice big mold line under his arm. I've base coated his hair, a layer of black on the pants, and a layer of skin. I also used a little P3 Flesh Wash and was very pleased with it

Earlier this year Reaper added the Deadlands Noir collection to Savage Worlds. When I saw those figures in the Preview Gallery I knew I had to have them. They are all sculpted by Bob Ridolfi and as such they have loads of character. Also, there is enormous room for creative interpretation with these sculpts. Although I was not able to do so, those of you who want to work in greyscale will find these the perfect figures for that technique. I carved the base myself from Sculpey. Thank you for looking!

I was just checking the preview section to get another look at that water elemental and there are four new miniatures from "Deadlands Noir." A quick google search seems to indicate that this is a RPG set in 1930s New Orleans. Pretty neat stuff: http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Previews It also does seem to be linked to the old Deadlands RPG and CCG, just in its "future," so to speak. Neat stuff.
