Another painting tangent today, one that chronologically followed my Marvel Zombicide models in terms of when I painted and finished these two, and in a big way the painting connection is pretty obvious – while painting a bunch of bystanders in civilian clothing it’s not a huge leap to paint some Cthulhu investigators also in civilian clothing.
I do want to get back to sprinking in at least a couple of Death May Die miniatures into my paint queue each month, and unfortunately the pair of monsters I was working on didn’t get finished, mostly due to a lack of inspiration from the models and a desire to keep on painting my way through all these humans.
The first of this pair is Veronique, a fixer of problems from Brockton, Massachusetts. The second figure is Olmstead, a corrupt cop from Providence. They’re both from the CMON Comics Vol.2 set, which arrived right as I was getitng to the point of completing the Season 1 and 2 Investigators – and was actually pretty off-putting rather than a “yay” moment. I missed the Vol.1 set as I hadn’t purchased or played DMD at the time, and so saw little point in purchasing it. Now with Asmodee having taken over the game, there’s actually a possibility of a reissue.
I did choose to paint these two because of the similar palette, thoiugh in the end, aside from sharing some of the mid-highlight colours in the mixes, the rest of their paints were entirely separate, even most of the “yellow” tones.

Excellent pair of investigators, the pale yellow works a treat on both of them.

Thanks Dave! I painted them together initially thinking I could “cheat” and use the same yellow on both of them. Didn’t work out that way, but the finished models worked out well enough at least!

Great yellow(s) on them. Veronique is rocking a sawn off shotgun? Seems a bold way to hold it….I’d imagine kickback is pretty strong.

Yeah, it’d be amusing to see a “later” version of the model with her arm in a sling and her wrist fully plastered up!

Top work on both of those and thanks (…I guess..!) for reminding me that I too planned to do more with Death May Die this year, and have done precisely bugger all about it.

Haha thanks mate. I’ve had that same nagging feeling in the back of my mind on being so slack with the game, so yeah, I need to do more. I’ve got another couple of gribbly monsters on the desk right now with some paint on them, but I don’t know if they’ll be done before month’s end…. 😮

Very nice work, mate. These two look like they’ve got the Dick Tracy coat/jacket on which I like!

Dick Tracy’s name always makes me think of this old Simpsons skit…

I would guess it is inspired by the movie? I’ve never seen the movie but Al Pacino’s facial prosthetics truly are repulsive in that one! 🙂

I’m not sure. I don’t know much about Dick Tracy but the half-said “Dick Face” always amused me and stuck. 😆
