Here are my first survivors from the recent release of Zombicide: Rue Morgue. I think the figures have just been getting better and better with each new season of Zombicide. These have some great detail and were easy to paint. I love the cowgirl figure; she's a tall drink of water. Even without the hat, she's a millimeter or two taller than most of the other figures.
Something new I'm trying to help tone down the colors and unify the survivors is to drybrush all of the figures with a grayish-sand color. This weathers the figure and pulls all of the colors together.
Computer note
So the gamma on my computer monitor is a little out of whack (this is the setting that controls the intensity/saturation of white/color(?) on the monitor. I was able to readjust it to compensate, but I'm not sure if I've adequately recompensated the toning of my minis photos. If you leave a comment here, could you also mention if these photos were too dark or too light? It'll help me recalibrate everything. Thanks much!
Awesome job dude! The photo's look fine.
ReplyDeleteSuperb. Really like the denim waistcoat on the cow girl. The lighting looks fine except maybe the last figure, it appears to be darker.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments; a little darker is OK; I was worried I would be making the photos too light. This means I can lighten them up a little more :)
ReplyDeleteThe picts look fine to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd the figures are cool too. I like the unifying drybrush. neat touch.
Thanks- I guess something I forgot to mention is that I'm also drybrushing the basecoats of all the colors, then painting the next couple highlights as usual. This also seems to have intoned a slighlty more weathered look on them (than on my previous figures.)
DeleteFantastic effect on those. I'm ever so jealous that you managed to get your Rue Morgue early :p
ReplyDeleteHow does the cowgirl scale next to the "Not Austin Powers"? He's very tall compared to others
They're the same height eye-to-eye, but her hat gives her the slight edge.
