Painted Ryle For Malifaux

I painted this model for a local competition, which makes this the first mini I have ever painted for a competition.

I didn’t care for this sculpt when it first came out, and even now I think the left arm is the wrong side of clunky and the gun is too cartoonish, but I really enjoyed painting it. It has a lot of different surfaces and details, and I decided to go for a high contrast style. In addition I tried to make the colours a bit more interesting, so the skin is shaded with greys, for example, and the trousers shaded with purple.

The metals are done with Dr Faust’s Weathered Metals technique, which you can see here
