For The Dickensians: Set 2 I wanted to follow the spooky theme I established with The Dickensians: Set 1. They turned out to be less festively patterned but with a little more Engine Energy color. The two groups still sit well together so I'm happy about that.
First up is Ollyver... formerly a sweet kid, currently an Engine powered, rage fueled, behemoth. I envisioned him almost literally bursting with Engine energies which I extended beyond his artifacts to his hand and face. Some OSL to emphasis the energy of his bare hand as it crush/melts some unfortunate brickwork.
I added a fair bit of green-stuff artifacts to the base to help with his pose and give some energy to the hand impact. This allowed for a more upright pose and a clearer look at the rage energy face.
Energies of the Engine here provided by Emerald Green (Vallejo(V)), Verdigris (Secret Weapon(SW)), Solid White (Reaper(R)), and Green Wash (SW). The Skin is a Malefic Flesh (V) over a Khaki Primer (Krylon (K)) layered with Natural Flesh (V) and spot washes of Flesh Wash (P3).
Nancy.. the wicked queen herself... I viewed her as a Twisted! Green Lady analogue akin to Poison Ivy of the DC Universe.
Her skin has responded to the corrupting energies by becoming more pale and translucent... quite unlike the darkling purple shades that the Urkin exhibit. The real inescapable mark of her corruption however are the writhing, armored, tentacles that erupt from her knees...
I kept her within the limited color palette but omitted the gray and shifted the dark purple to a more violet ink. Her clothes are the color of Engine energy layered with white from the Bone Triad (R). I really like this model.. the combination of graceful and horrific are very well executed in the sculpt.
Feygin... kinda struck me as the Pied Piper of the group... always inviting another lost child into the vile embrace of Nancy... and into the family of the Urkin. I would normally have done the rats in gray and black to imply plague and decay but I had a hard time getting definition and opted for a less ominous, and more visible, scheme with golden brown (V) and Buckskin Pale (R). This is also the color of his hat just adding more Buckskin Pale to lighten it up.
The pistol is fun and very Buck Rogers and Feygin also sports multiple energy sources. His skin is also relatively un-scarred by the Engine energy as befits his recruiting role.
The Urkin Shooter and Urkin Dragoon are up next. The shooter has a supply of energy infused ammunition that his 'pet' clockwork squirrel seems to consume with gusto.
The Urkin Dragoon has a blade seething with the vile energy and colorful crests in Nancy's favorite accent color to top off the faded glory of his military coat and trousers.
That brings us to a pair of Urkin Slashers.
One looks like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle in a Plague Doctor's mask on the attack and the other like a rabid fat kid still snacking on link sausage while charging his foe... I'mma beat you with my lunch!
I *Think the next thing up is to finish the doors for Star Saga and get a few Raging Heroes models built... along with some 3D printed terrain for accents.
Back to the desk!
