Marvel Zombies: Sharon Carter and J. Jonah Jameson

Marvel Zombies: Sharon Carter and J. Jonah Jameson

Today’s models return us to CMON’s Marvel Zombies bystanders. This time we have Sharon Carter from Captain America’s cast along with J. Jonah Jameson from Spidey’s backing band. Sharon appears to often wear white or silver-grey suits with black or brown belts and light webbing gear with a fair bit of variation, so I more or less followed that line, and painted her pistols in a blued steel to continue the theme.

Jameson on the other hand has his civvies on. As with a few of the other models painted recently, I gave him the impression of pinstripes on his trousers (so sick of pinstriped clothing now!) but otherwise pretty simple, clean and neat clothing.

Both of these were started and finished this month, but I’ll still count Sharon as a FeMarch model for my own benefit. Once again both of these figures represent bystanders, though I guess Sharon would probably be on the edge of being playable as a hero in the game due to simply being a highly trained but unpowered human – not quite on Natasha’s level as she has some Soviet Super Soldier Serum in her veins according to some of the background versions. They’ll certainly both be suitable for custom characters for standard Zombicide, though!

Cthulhu: Death May Die – Fatima Safar & Halilia Hovath

Cthulhu: Death May Die - Fatima Safar & Halilia Hovath

Today’s models are a slight break from Marvel or Zombicide, though we still have a pair of models from a CMON game. Last year I was attempting to paint two per month of my Cthulhu: Death May Die investigators, though when I burned out at the end of last year that also spelled the end of that for a time. Now we have two more of that final four, and another two for my FeMarch – female models that I didn’t get completed in time for Fembruary!

Cthulhu: Death May Die - Fatima Safar & Halilia Hovath

The first of this pair is Fatima Safar, an Occultist from Alexandria, Egypt for whom Tarot cards are but child’s play – which clearly explains why the sculpt is holding a pair. And I forgot to paint their backs. Once again our Death May Die sculptor turns out a technically fine model with an issue – this time it’s Fatima’s dagger arm, which is facing forwards rather than backwards. Kinda hard to see in 2D, but just take your right arm and hold an imaginary dagger in it in the manner that Fatima is here. Now, instead of the dagger facing out towards your right rear, rotate your arm so it’s facing towards your right front instead. Ouch. Anyway, Fatima wears another purple skirt (not lavender this time!) and a blue overskirt with patterns in both white and gold thread, which I attempted to simulate here.

Our second model today is Halilia Hovath, a Romani Wise Woman from Transylvania, Romania. Halilia also has a sculpting issue – the sculptor this time failed to notice the transition between her shirt and her dress, so the sculpt is just one smooth piece. I just kinda painted it in and hid the transition in her jewelery. The pattern on her robe wasn’t at all sculpted on, either. No huge hassle for me to do an imperfect approximation, but it certainly would have made adding it in more accessible to other painters. You can’t really notice in these pics, but Halilia has a slightly more olive skin tone than a lot of the other models I’ve painted, while Halilia has some grey mixed into her skin tone, which I also did for Aunt May in my previous post..

The rest of the painting on her was pretty straightforward, and it now leaves me with only two more models to have all of the Season 1 and 2 investigators completed!

Only leaving me the Cultists, and about a million Mythos Horrors still to paint after that…
