Kingdom Death Sci-Fi Twilight Knight Pinup

[CashWiley]

Cleaned, primed and based. Ready for paint! This one should stay SFW, if I do add a tiny bit of color to the forbidden spots, I'll do it at the end of the project :)

 

 

I did learn one thing about CMoN's plastic bases, they're not the 'good' model plastic that melts with model cement (as KD's plastic does). So I needed to break out the superglue and will keep fingers crossed she stays put. I may need to pin her if she breaks loose, and I hate pinning high heels! One upside to the failed model cement experiment: I pushed her down pretty hard, so her feet conformed a bit better to the base.

I have that one too...

 

Very curious to see what you'll do with her so I can learn...

GO CASH GO!!!

Hurray for more KD minis getting painted!

Ugh, the hips on that sculpt. It's fun to paint tho'. I left the cloak off, since I could make it make sense. Looking at yours, kinda wish I'd made more of an effort. Good luck on all the skin blending. :)

That's what's inspiring the palette, actually. Might be a week or two before I get to it, but it should be a wild one.

I love the hips on this one. It's the top half that's messing with me haha!

 

I'm curious to see what colors you come up with

[SirLarpsAlot]

The size of the hips isn't the problem, it's that the legs are the same length even tho' she's got her right hip jutting out at a coquettish angle. It's just not quite right.

 

I have a couple other KD figures and they look great. There was something about this one that I didn't quite like. 

 

I'm interested to see what colors Cash chooses. I have another copy of this figure, having painted one for a friend. Looking for inspiration.

No, if you follow the pelvic line from GT to GT, the left side is low enough to allow for that. The hips are wide enough to have quite a distance, heh. It's not really as cartoony as people make it out to be.

I was trying to work out a color scheme. I had a decent idea and gamut masked it out, but I wanted to see it in action, so I did a quick mock-up in GIMP using the photo of the primed mini.

like most it... just not sold on the pink sword.

Not ORANGE enough for ya?

hummmm now there's a color that just might WORK!    fits right in with her skin tone!   I never would have thought of that!

[CashWiley]

Orange is the 3rd point of the gamut mask. Hmm. I like the pink sword (since the glows are all pink), but orange might work, too.

For those confused: this is not a painted mini, I digitally painted it with a small translucent brush in GIMP. Great for quickly looking at colors. If you split layers out (hair is layer 1, clothes layer 2 etc) you can really go nuts once you finish.

 

I'll post some pics of that tomorrow, though I liked how it looked so I stopped layering and dumped most of it into a single layer, woops!
