Malifaux, Shadows of Redchapel, Seamus, Madam Sybelle

 

Introduction

If you were looking for a dangerous looking lady in skin tight cloths with a giant whip and a possible case of the dead's you've come to the right place. I wanted to paint her in line with the belles, so this meant using some of the same colours and themes but I also wanted her to be dangerous on her own.

I also learned a little from the belles and my process changed a little.

Painting

Step By Step:

Model

1. Cloths: Red (Minitaire, Angelic Blood)
2. Cloths Ink and Mouth: Red (Army Painter Ink, Red)
3. Leggings: Blue (Reaper, Nightsky Blue)
4. Skin: Skin (Reaper, Caucasian Flesh)
5. Hair: White (P3 Menoth White Highlight)
6. Leggings, Skin Ink and Hair: Brown (Army Painter Ink, Soft Tone)
7. Whip: Brown (Minitaire, Bark)
8. Whip Dry brush: Silver (Army Painter, Gun Metal) 
9. Whip Dry brush: White (P3 Menoth White Highlight)
10. Whip Ink: Blue (Army Painter Ink, Blue)

Base

1. Dirt: Brown (Minitaire, Bark)
2. Rocks: Grey (Vallejo Game Color, Somber Grey)
3. Rocks Dry brush 2: Grey (Reaper, Concrete Grey)

Basing

I was very worried about the whip and it interacting with anything I included on the base I really wanted to include a giant tombstone but sadly I opted out and went for something low with the rocks. I felt this gave me the best chance of not having a disaster at the end of painting.

Conclusion

I eneded up with having two major issues with this build.

1. Her arm created a large gap against the body and it annoyed the hell out of me. I ended up using blue tac to clean it up. While that not a suggested fix I have done it before and had ok outcomes.
2. When creating the bases I created pinning holes for the pins in her feet due to some major stupidiy on my part they were entirely in the wrong spot I had to redrill and fill the holes to make it work.

Other than that the model was a little dirty compared to what I was intending. I had to reink her skin on the shoulder and that made her a little darker than I wanted, overall as long as she fits the other models Im ok with her.
