So Paulie Mordheim left me with a couple of buildings from the Vexed Village Kickstarter because I mentioned I wanted to paint them up. I love the character of these buildings and they remind me of some of my favorite turnip terrain from Dr Mathias
Paul had primed them black, so I soaked them in my usual way with a bunch of random paint off the shelf:
I thought that the greenish tint would be cool, and I left 'em out in the sun to dry up all day:
I hit them with some color, using a sponge for the white. Just like all my turnip stuff it was quick, rough and sloppy.
Then I mixed up some oilwash. I've been using streaking grime a lot lately, but oil is MUCH more cost effective. I love the messy stage of slopping a bunch of oil on there and seeing how bad it looksThings got kinda weird here... I tried to resplotch on some white over the oil and it looked really bad haha, still I went forward with it, and drybrushed the red and the gray metal. I didn't take pics because it wasnt part of the plan.
Then for these final pics, I went over the whole thing in a dark brown ink wash (sort of agrax-like), which brought the messiness together.
Ultimately, I like them, they weren't hard to paint up and I think they'd look killer on a table.
Thanks for stopping by, I know I said I'm done with Turnip, but I played one game and now I'm really back into it.
i really like the stains underneath the windows, they look nice, and the buildings look really nice. would love to see some in game pictures sometime, maybe, if the root moves you.
ReplyDeleteThey look amazing! I've started using oil washes based on your tutorial and the messy stage has been my favorite part as well because no matter what happens it can't look worse than it does now.
