[Miniatures] Cultist
« on: December 23, 2007, 06:29:04 pm »
Well, it took 1.5 months, but, alongside a bunch of PCs (who I might post later), I finished all the cultists I figure I'll need. I tried to do the faces very dark and highly contrasted, like when somebody holds a flashlight to their face. I figured they'd look more evil that way.

If you only comment on one miniature, I'm interested to hear what you think of the female cop (last one). Read the description for more information.

To see bigger pictures, check out my album.

Cultist #1 was basically an experiment to see how the colours would look, and how the little bit of freehand on the robe (the seaweed) would turn out. It's the only Call of Cthulhu cultist from RAFM that I thought would fit:


Cultist #2, like all the below miniatures, was made by Pulp Figures. I love ever Pulp fig, they make beautiful ones!


Cultist #3:


Cultist #4 is holding a knife. These are supposed to be worshipping a South American god, so I decided to try for an obsidian knife. It's obviously the wrong shape, but I think the black blade sorta works:


Cultist #5 is holding a book. If you can see the book over his shoulder (it's a little small), I filled in with very basic Egyptian pictographs. The South American tribe was originally cast out of Egypt. Here they are:


I also painted up two police officers, who are technically members of the cult (don't tell my players!)...

Police Officer #1 is another beautiful sculpt from Pulp Figures:


Police Officer #2 was interesting. It was originally a male miniature, but I sculpted some new hair and a new chest, then painted the face with higher cheekbones. Hopefully she makes a passable female, I've had mixed reactions from people I showed her to:


And here are some group shots of the full cult, including the cops::





On this one, you can see the altar best. It houses the first gemstone I ever painted:



Hope you like them!

Holy crap, they look so much better all together and not attacked by your graphics program to make the background white.  :P

So I realized that the altar, especially since there was a cultist stabbing a knife, needed a victim. I'm not much into the classic sacrifice-a-woman thing (I loved these victims, but I couldn't appreciate them because they're all women), so I dug through my box to find a good miniature. I finally stumbled upon a zombie from Cold War's Dead Will Walk series that was perfect, so here he is:







Also notice the tie.. I figured as long as I'm painting on Christmas eve, I might as well do it right!

<edit> I should also point out that there was no texture (including fingers) on the front of the left hand. Those fingers are totally painted on.

The lighting on http://www.skullsecurity.org/ospap2/thumbnails/640x480/5189.jpg is awesome!  :)
That is totally a sweet picture, probably the best of the bunch. :)

http://www.skullsecurity.org/ospap2/thumbnails/640x480/5189.jpg reminds me of Harry and Cedric in the graveyard with the Death Eaters..
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.
