Devo Ranks, Cyberist
28mm
I saw this amazing cyberpunk hacker sculpt online a couple of times, and just had to have it! It was surprisingly hard to get, but shipping from the US was more than worth it. It's from Reaper's new Bones USA line, which are cast in extraordinary detail from some kind of resin-plastic mix. Really quite amazing!
Since the sculpt is quite androgynous, I painted Devo up to mark International Non-Binary People's Day on July 14. The jacket is inspired by modern Japanese street fashion.
Jeb Underscore, free agent
28 mm
Rain or shine, Jeb always gets the job done. He's not a bad guy, mind you, he's got standards. Professional like. Bodyguarding, debt collection, bounty hunting, light to medium larceny, that sort of thing. If you pay him to babysit, he'll gladly play with your kids for a few hours and shoot anyone who tries to hurt them. Accompanying him on most jobs is Boo, his pet Denebian devil, all teeth and claws and very protective of his owner.
Jeb is a Mark Copplestone sculpt from North Star Military Figures

Two cracking paint-jobs. The devil on Jeb's shoulder reminds me of Salacious Crumb from the original Star Wars trilogy. Two corking sculpts which you've definitely done justice to.
ReplyDeleteThanks! He _does_ look like Salacious Crumb (winged though), it's probably just as well that I painted him a very non-orangey color.
DeleteVery well done on the flowers on the jacket. The glam glasses are awesome. Dare I say truly outrageous?
ReplyDeleteThx! I would agree they are truly, truly, truly outrageous.
DeleteBoth of them are truly fantastic, but the sakura on Devo Ranks' jacket is a show stealer. I find that detail particularly inspiring, it adds quite a lot of depth to the character. I love it!
ReplyDeleteIt was a lot of fun to paint too! Thanks!
DeleteExcellent detail work on that jacket!
ReplyDeleteThat sakura pattern you painted on the jacket is simply astounding ... fantastic paint work Allison!
ReplyDeleteI am excited whenever you delve into 28mm painting. It gives me a much better understanding of how good your painting is. And I'm especially pleased to see you tackle the Mark Copplestone figure. I really love the new range of Stargrave minis -- they're the best thing to hit sci-fi since 1988.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, the cherry blossoms, the wool socks and the keyboard: MIND BLOWN.
High praise indeed, blush!

ReplyDeleteCherry blossom, a tiny devil and punk rock throughout. What a combo. Beautiful painting on some very cool minis.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Glad you like.
