Marvel Zombies: Pepper Potts and Aunt May Parker

Marvel Zombies: Pepper Potts and Aunt May Parker

Another pair of Marvel Zombies’ Wimminz – this time it’s Pepper Potts and sweet old, doting Aunt May. I’m aware of Pepper from the comics, but most of my familiarity with her comes from Gwyneth Paltrow’s depiction throughout the MCU films. I painted the model pretty much based on her generic look on the card, down to the strawberry-blonde hair and the rather innocuous briefcase that she’s holding. No doubt full of files, papers and pens. Pretty straightforward, really, and I’m still working on my highlighting of black clothing since I don’t want the highlights of her dark clothing to be noticible without making it look like she’s wearing a shiny PVC skirt.

Aunt May on the other hand was a whole lot more work. Her skirt is on it’s third repaint, since the first iteration was too pink, then too purple, and finally I settled on this shade of attempted-lavender. Damn, the purple spectrum of colours can be tricky! This appears to be the frail, doting, comic version of May, as opposed to the matriarchal overseer of the Spider-Verse or the younger, MILFy, go-getter of later MCU depictions. The pose really sells the personality here, I think.

Anyway, we’re almost at the end of my FeMarch models – aka “I failed at getting them finished in time for Fembruary”. Hopefully Alex forgives me when he gets back to posting! 😉

Marvel Zombies: Mary-Jane Watson and Betty Ross

Into March’s models today – we start with a pair of models that I’d hoped to finish in February for Fembruary, but instead they’ve been completed this month instead. (FeMarch?) I have to admit – at first I thought the Betty Ross was actually Moira MacTaggart, but apparently not. It’s actually Arwen instead.
Marvel Zombies: Mary-Jane Watson and Betty RossThere’s nothing too special to write about either of these models really – they’re both just pretty well sculpted human civilian models that happen to be of Marvel characters. They’re both “bystanders” for the Zombies game, much like Howard and Blind Al who I’ve painted previously that confer bonuses if they’re rescued/eaten (depending on whether you’re playing Hero or Zombie mode)
Marvel Zombies: Mary-Jane Watson and Betty RossLonger-term, I’ll get around to making custom survivor cards for all of these “Bystander” characters (as well as the Cthulhu Death May Die characters and Last Night on Earth ones), since the Bystanders in Marvel Zombies aren’t really much more than tokens that get removed quickly when saved or eaten, so it’ll make them more fun to be characters that we can actually play with, even if it’s only in regular Zombicide (because Mary-Jane with a machete and pistol still might not scale all that well next to Hulk or Thor…)
