Absolutely Brilliant! Hecame/is coming together nicely. i love the choice of coloring on the sash and hat. After a quick paruse throught your blog i think its safe to say "subsrcibed" and ill be going back through. This Really is some top notch painting and i look forward to seeing more

Boffer?

Now the goblin is on his base its more obvious that they've posed him in mid drunken falling over backwards!

Very nice. I think the green base edging distracts a bit though - possibly a darker green or, even better, a brown, might keep the focus firmly on the miniature. Of course, I realise this may not be a choice if he is to sit with other similar based models...

A Goblin Green base edge was the standard for WHFB 6th Edition. My whole army is based that way. It's actually quite soothing for an entire army.

I prefer a black base, as I feel my eyes are more inclined to ignore its existence that way. However, I think a dark brown would work well too.

I would definitely change the green though, as it is so close to the skin tones that I find my eyes drawn to it, perhaps being an extension of the characters.

Wehrkind, this image in the Gallery is a good example of the rest of the army Drunken Goblin is due to be joining.

He's looking great, Ifalna - looking forwards to the Disapproving Horse scale shot

The green base color does compete with the O&G minis' skin tones but it was part and parcel of WHFB 6th Edition for which I'm now nostalgic.

If it's any comfort, the green base color almost completely disappears when the minis are ranked up in their movement trays (which do not have green edges in my army).

Ahh good call. Best to go with consistency of course. I don't know how nostalgic I am for old GW stuff. I used to hate their aesthetic when I was younger, though green base edges might have contributed

I actually quite like the old green base for nostalgia reasons too. When I was first looking through the GW window at these ridiculously expensive little men my poor parents had no way to afford for me, they all had green bases and dodgy little sculpts The first ever mini I painted ( a dwarf from my best friends set when I was about 7) had a green edged base on the picture too, but we had no green so I made it brown. Oh man I remember that dwarf. He was terrible.

Little Gobbo is finished now unless any tweaks need to be made, @Dysartes drop me a Pm if theres anything you want altered at all! It's never too late I tell thee.
I went with a really neutral and quite understated grey highlight for the robes, I didn't want them to be too far from basic black or he wouldn't fit in with all the other Gobbos.

Clicky for der big.


My god I am so tired. I should sleep but I can't because Internet.

Looks awesome Iff, superb!

I feel your pain. Internet, y .u no let me sleep?


edit: Typing that meme is really hard when dakka autocorrects "u" to you, gotta love a grammar liking forum!

"You have to love a grammar-appreciating forum" is what I think you mean

But I must stay on topic! The goblin looks really great. The red tone on his hat is particularly fantastic.


(edit: I needed to fix a punctuation mistake. The irony...)

That gobbo looks great, Iffy! You did a great job on his green skin and the red hat really pops. Good stuff.

Very nicely Done...I like it and really enjoy the detail!

The internet - keeping geeks awake since 1991.


Tiny gobbo looks lovely. Drunk and off-balance, but still lovely

Yes, but if The Internet is a drug, then Tumblr is meth.

Now I'm wondering what comes after the rugged and dashing Goblin King. Oh, sleep. Right.

Give the man a cookie

Also by virtue of grammar, since you're using a verb of being (is), then it makes the object of the sentence a predicate nominative, and thus interchangable

Also this thread need less grammar lesson, and more fancy pants goblins

dont worry i know it was a joke. (:

Every thread needs that level of grammar lesson! Well done sir!

After paying 40 grand a year, I better be able to at least explain grammar, even if I miss one or two things.

I love this site, I can be afk for weekend and return to find my thread full of puns and grammar. Two of the most important things in the world.

You guys totally rock, ahaha

Today is base spraying the colour layers on multiple Space Wolves, and starting on a new character model for J.B. He is going to be really interesting and J.B has some really cool ideas for him. I am thinking airbrushing his armor for that amazing powerhouse red might work, but I will have to give it some thought first. I will update with shots as I go but they may be hella boring, y'all been warned!

Everyone have a nice week?

I think we are prepared to risk being bored.

'Tis cold as robot balls in Germany this week. I hope that your workspace isn't as chilly. I moved my painting stuff out of the man-cave and up to the dining room so that I can work without freezing. Fortunately my red-haired lady isn't fazed in the least by my hobby.

Speaking of odd weather JB,

it was 50 degrees here in Ohio yesterday, the sun was shining, I didn't wear a coat most of the day... I wake up to go to work this morning, only to find out we got like 3 inches of snow last night...

It is also cold as balls here, which is made even more infuritating as the first few days of this week were sunny and nice, and now everything is frosted over all day. Killer in a crappy little house like this, I have the fire downstairs burning all day and its barely keeping it above 2, 3degrees. Upstairs has electric heating but it costs so, so very much, so just trying to keep it tolerable up here. My cats have it the worst off, no fur means they have to wear the big thick jumpers I made for them out of a housecoat, which they are not amused by. So they are warm, but very very angry. Ahaha.

Urgh thats what its like here, except reply the snow with sheet ice D:

Unamused cats? How do you tell when cats are amused? The ones I've known have kept their mood range set between Enraged and Contempuous. I don't recall an Amused setting.

Well, hope you aren't miserably cold. I'm having a cuppa Earl Grey right now which will warm me up.

lucky people i wish it was cold over here.. California weather is not nearly as good over in Pensylvania (USA)

I'm willing to give you at least -9 degrees Celsius in exchange for 9 degrees Celsius.

That should cool you down a bit and make it almost tolerable here.
