Sugoi? Perhaps TDL has a better phrased variant?

I quite like the posing of the two lightning claw guys and how they look kind of like bodyguards/bouncers to the dread

I don't know that much yet but I think it's either Sugoi (すごい) or Kakkoii (かっこいい).

Yeah, I admit I had some fun moving the miniatures around in search of a cool position for them.

Nifty SW, TheDraconicLord!

The VenDread is really nice, are you using him as Bjorn?

Lucarikx

They are mine SW, Draconic Lord over here are being quite nice, painting my army... I suck at painting, you can see some of my shamefull work in the first page right after the Njal awesomeness, but this man can turn resin into gold with his hands.

And no, I'm using it as a Venerable DN, I'll buy a Bjorn aswell, and guess who will paint it?

Happy hobby!

Ahah, there's a face for this mysterious commissioner!

Just be sure to give TDL a chance to paint some of those Infinity models, need to see them

Sure, after I got a imperial guard valkyrie painted, so I can use IG as allies

I've got one of those for just that purpose Say what you will about 6th ed and GW in general, I quite like the casual gaming and modeling opportunities wrought by the allies rules

Yeah, he's the man behind the shadows when it comes to SW The WoW miniatures were for another 2 buddies of ours. I have no idea how, but I'll have to split my time between SW and Infinity once I have them.

I'll probably post some decent progress this next friday/saturday. I'm certain the VenDread won't be complete by then BUT I hope I have something cool to show

Other than that, I updated the first post: Because of the very varied things I have been painting through my hobby "career", I thought an index was in order with direct links to the several finished projects.

Sweet index, gonna have to redo mine as It's gotten fairly behind. Looking forward to moar wolves

How dare you?!

Well, it's Saturday, time to post some progress! I have been taking my time and attempting to do my best with the VenDread. This week I did my best with the Banner.




It's an absolutely gorgeous model but I need to completely focused when painting... no distractions and take it real slow, or I would ruin something previously complete. In short, it was very tiring to work for a long ammount of time.

I *TRIED* to free-hand the center, but the final result was horrible and I got disheartened by it. I covered it up again with the base blue to erase it and I'm gonna leave it alone for now. Next week I start painting the body!

Happy Hobbying!

Looks pretty good! I agree that freehanding the middle of banners is terrible and frightening. I did one back in my days of WHFB that, while it doesn't look great, was OK enough for me to be happy with it. Now, I think, I'm too critical of myself to try it again

It's a very big banner and looks very wolfy. The bone, especially, looks top notch

Yeah dude, dont worry about the free hand thing, the banner looks pretty awesome just how it is.

Wow. that is very very good. I can't wait to see him complete.

Thanks everyone

@GD - Thanks! Really, Free-handing is one heck of a skill but it's so damn hard Gotta practice some more! Good to know you like the bone

@Anakin - Thanks! I'll leave it alone for now. First, I'm going to take care of the VenDread. Once it's complete, I'll give it another go.

@LBM - Thank you! I hope the final result will meet your expectations

So, yeah, this week I'll start painting VenDread's body. I'll again try to do my best and post an update next Saturday!

Gives me something to look forward to after I run out of Saturday morning cartoons

My good friend, then I have yet another good news to inform you of: My Infinity order has arrived. Tomorrow I'm picking it up from my FLGS

Guess who's gonna take the next Friday and Monday as holidays? I have no idea if I'll be able to paint even a tiny bit (Seriously, I absolutely love the VenDread, I won't mind not painting anything else for now) but I really want to glue them up so I can officially play

Muahahah pics for the picture god, blog updates for the uhh... I got nothing. But yes, do keep us updated

So, TDL, where are our sweet and delicious updates? Well, life is funny sometimes.

<--------------- look at the flag, instead of the usual Portuguese one, you should see a Denmark one.

So, last Thursday I was notified I was going to Denmark on work starting next Tuesday, so, yeah, as you can guess, I wasn't feeling that inspired to continue with the VenDread. So, if all goes well, I'll keep flying to Denmark weekly on work until March. Ofc, this may all change and I can return permanently next week, who knows, nothing is certain.

So, yeah, there probably won't be any update this next week as well, but I hope to get used to the rhythm and work well enough so I can start bringing with me some painting stuff and give you some updates the following week.

Until then, folks

Gah, they've just got you all over the place and overtime to boot. They better take care of you for all of that trouble

Boo fewer updates, but we'll be here to cheer you on when they do come

You should feel proud of yourself, not only did you paint a fantastic Oniwaban Shinobu Kitsune, I got to looking into Inifinty. And now I'm about to start a Japanese sectorial army. I just want you to know that this is your fault

I hope you do more Infinity stuff later on

@Grim - Thanks for the kinds words as usual Grim

@Spartan-kun - Thank you very much It's one beautiful miniature and I really enjoyed painting it. It's also nice to know I'm making a difference And we want to see your Japanese sectorial army! We all love to see Infinity stuff!

Holy crap, one month already since my last significant update? Work is being a hobby killer!

Well, as I have mentioned previously, I'm now flying weekly to Denmark on work and as such, I can't paint as much as I really wanted, BUT, I started doing just that this week. I was really missing some painting action so I have some juicy VenDread updates! ... ok, not so good, but I did what I could

Apologies for the lack of quality: All I have is my iPad camera to take and upload some photos so, yeah, not the best quality of the world.





So yeah, as you can see (or at least, try to. Damn crappy quality! ) it still isn't the prettiest VenDread in the world, but I'm working on it. You can really see that blending up top, tho, but it's more subtle "in person".

Well, the other good news is that I'm gonna start my vactions next Friday evening! Hurray! That means 2 weeks with potential hobby time!

Until next time (and I do hope I have an update sooner )!

That's looking purdy TDL. Gonna have to come back and gawk a bit better later, baby is calling for my attention!

That doesn't look too bad great job

Simple solution to your problem = smuggle paint onboard and paint while you fly ]

So, yeah, ever since I saw that god-like show that was Neon Genesis Evangelion (so many, many years ago) I have been a fan of this fantastic char that's Ayanami Rei. I *MAY* be entering an area that *MAY* be considered creepy. I bet I can scare a lot of good people if I add candles or an altar to the following scene. It would be an interesting experience but I better not

(*SPOILERED* for massive impact once you open it )

Spoiler:

I swear to the God-Emperor I don't own any body-pillow or anything like that! Don't look at me like that, damn it!

I feel the strong desire to add to this, though I don't have pictures (and my gut says I should't show any), A Gasai Yuno body pillow, Neptune (Hyperdimension Neptunia) body pillow, Uppote FNC figurine, 5 Strike Witches nendoroids, 2 Heavens lost propery Nendoroids, and god knows how many Strike Witches cards. I have friends who won't even GO INTO my room.....

@GD - You gotta teach your baby some manners, she has to learn not to interrupt daddy while he's in his nerd happy hour! Just joking mate

@Spartan-Kun - Uff, maybe I didn't explain it that well. I already brought some paints with me so I can paint at my ApartHotel. I'm slowly getting used to the rhythm so I'm back to the painting game

And Spartan-Kun, really? Gasai Yuno? Really? That's the really scary part

I just saw what those body pillows are....

cannot un-see!!!

Hahaha, I'm sorry Moltar, I hope no permanent harm was done Well, at least you found out a bit more about this strange world of ours, uh?

Ah ok, well that's even better. And what is so wrong about Gasai Yuno? She's fething adorable!

@Moltar - Which ones did you look up O.o and if that is enough to scare you then perhaps you should not look up anything else anime related lmao there are things that are much...much worse.

I just googled, "Gasai Yuno body pillow" and saw plenty more than I needed to.
