I am playing D3 but will be rocking NA

So thats 6 hours work today (inc drying times for wash layers ofc) on the Showpiece standard squig and I am too tired to continue so it is bedtime.

Silvers are done, Squig is done bar warpaint and gloss coating, Gobbo skin is at 90%, just needs final highlight layer, then it’s the robe and wood tomorrow.

I am so very, very tired now.

Pig Squig

nice squig

I like these squig things - I might have to have one, they have such big teeth.

That's looking totally showcase there. Sounds like you are totally gunning to become the absolute professional commission painter - 6 hours a day! thats a slice more than I do at my regular job!

Nice Iffy... knock-your-socks-off vibrant. Love it.

I saw these last night on FB and they still look great today!

It's always nice when things still look nice in the morning

Watching Captain America with my coffee and pancakes, have not seen it before and I am impressed so far

Omg weets you should get some and paint them up, you would make them amazing, I know it.
I'm in the amazing position of not having to pay bills, so I have to take advantage of the time I have and really push to make this work and improve as much as I can. Doing 6 hours per day is just about right for me as I still have time to get houswork and cooking done, but get a lot of painting done too. Diablo 3 will of course throw a spanner in the works for a few weeks

He looks awesome beside all his smaller friends, the Manglers will likely end up just as vibrant, it is going to be fun! I have to say though, highlighting something that fades to another colour is bloody hard, I had to highlight the lines in gradient colours and it took forever. It ended up well though, he looks highlighted but quite naturally I think, the lines don't glare.

Really looking quality now and really does stand out above the rest.
Even the skin tones alone show far more detail


Might have to steal the "why so serious?" idea for one of my manglers

[i] think now you have to do a Pig Squig!

That's a very nice looking squig you have there Iffy

Thanks GiraffeX He is nearing completion now.

Good grief, just opened the new Devlin mud and Badab black I ordered from GW recently and the.. the smell... my god what is this.

I had pongy devlin mud before and I know it's a common thing with the washes, but what exactly are they putting into these things for them to smell like this?

It dries odor free, but uck, it is nasty while using it :(

That squig looks awesome! You customer will be VERY happy!

Great squig!

The Devlan smells like Wet dog

Mine smells like burned beef.. it's really, really bad D:

I had a delvan that smelled like...well, it was indescribably awful. I once got a baal red wash that smelled exactly like chocolate, though, so that was good

i think gryphone sepia smells much worse then devlan mud

I think it's random. I have washes with 0 smell that reek for other people. I would love to know WHY they reek though.. I have a feeling the answer is unsetteling.

Big squig now done bar warpaint

Click for giant pic!



Showpiece standard, really enjoyed painting him. Going to work on ideas for his warpaint patterns, get a thumbsup on a pattern from the owner, then finish him off

Wow, you do some good work!

Subbed, and I gotta say the blending on that squig is incredible.

Subbed, and can't wait to see what's up next.

If he's a cocktain squig, Ifalna, shouldn't there be an olive or a piece of fruit impaled on his rider's spear? Possibly a small umbrella as a base decoration?

^Yum!^

Jealous of your house wife/professional warhammer painter lifestyle! Hope you can wangle it for long-time.

Squigs are definitely in my future repertoire.

Ahhh thanks dude, but the blending praise should go to the airbrush

And heres the mockup of the warpaint, but we are skipping the leg stripes and going with a sprial on the other hip



We decided to not go overboard with it, so it won't ruin the lovely yellow.

Love the little grot hand-print.

Cocktail? Totally should be Sambucca Squig (not as child friendly as Peppa Pig, mind). Love the electric blue contrast idea. Also, tasty olive there.

Oh whoops Diablo, bye everyone. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
