League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

[Mrdee]

Hi this is the first time I have posted on these forums, after a little badgering off a friend who frequents here I have pulled my finger out.  Little background on myself, name is Damien, friends call me Dee I have been painting on and off for little over 2 years, and it relaxes me to the point I look at the cloak and realise it 2am and I have to be up in 4 hours    So my joy is painting pure and simple and I like to feel that I improve with everything I paint, and that down to advice from others and trying to push my boundaries.

My friend Ian has devised a game around the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen and has given each of three friends some of the characters to paint up, I chose Captain Nemo with members of the nautalus crew and Dr Jeckell & Mr Hyde.

Not sure who makes these models as they were given to me by my friend and I am sure he can post and let you know if needs be, but here is the progress so far.

Dr Jeckell







That was my first attempt at Object Source Lighting and thanks to a tutorial I found at Brushthralls I think I acheived a pretty decent result, well I am over the moon with it anyway.

Mr Hyde





Hyde was a fairly simple model but I rather like it that way, sort of wish I had sculped a top hat on him and a cigar in the outstretched arm.

Thoughs?

Welcome on board, dear boy!

Splendid effort!
Cant wait to see the rest of the League...

Lovely stuff, You'll find lots of references to the League over on the VSF board. Figures are Westwind from their Gothic Horror range.

[Mrdee]

Thanks guys.

Did I make a boo boo on my first post and post in the wrong forum?  Any chance this can be moved to the VSF forum?

...where this thread probably belongs.

That source lighting is very subtle and works a treat  I've seen quite a few recently that go overboard with and spoil the effect.

cheers

excellent, excellent paintwork.

the OSL effect is spot on. I've never been able to get it to work for me.

let us have your address and i'll come round and break your fingers, as the rest of us need to catch up

Outstanding! Love Mr Hyde

they look great

[Heldrak]

Excellent work! The OSL works very well (not excessive like so many examples one sees these days). Spectacular for a first attempt!

[Gluteus Maximus]

Lovely stuff!

I can't wait to see the Invisible Man 

[Doomhippie]

Yes, very well done! I like your style of painting: expressive yet subtle at the same time.

[Dewbakuk]

That Dr Jekyl figure is great. Good osl too.

Amazing work on the potion!
