I shall prescribe you 250mL of ethanol, to be taken orally twice daily.
I find this is the top cure in all cases. Trust me! I have a degree!! *cough* In Comparative Cultural studies.... *ahem*

Hope ya feel better soon Iffy!

How're the sinuses doing, Ifalna?

HULK SQUIG CURE PAIN WITH TEETH!

Ugh. Migraines are the fething best.... I've found that coffee or caffeinated tea is helpful at beating them off, but sleep is the best for it.

Hope you feel better!

Thanks guys, it did indeed retreat a couple of hours ago and is no longer lingering, so it should not be back tomorrow

I got around to painting and managed some more nice work on the Hulk Squig, and got the Nurgle sorc started on his way, but its now 2.30 am and I am super tired so I will put up shots in the morning instead!

Sorry D:

night night.

Squig addiction!

Glad you're feeling a bit better... dream of squigs! And then paint them to match

RiTides, there is a little cave squig to go on the base of this mangler that I ALREADY have permission to paint pink with polka dots, so believe me, I am ahead of you with this plan

Ifalna wrote:No squiggys yesterday, sorry folks :( Got smaked with a really bad sinus pain headache thats still going after 24 hours and a neti pot flush, Im hoping it will dissipate today so I can get work done.

At the verge of trying to claim for a medical card so I can afford the sinus spray / imigran I actually need without literally spending everything I earn on tiny pills. Actually quite angry and moany right now which is not normal for meh :(

Sasa I had a look at that sculpt and I am totally confused, thats a LOT of moolah to charge isint it? You can get 2 GW manglers for the same price, or am I crazy? I like it but I would be expecting to pay a lot less for it honestly.

Yeah it is quite expensive @.@ I'm not sure why, maybe just because they can I dunno, it is in USD too though afaik so its not terrible but yeah still kind of expensive. A funny alternative if your willing though, reminds me of that disaster of a game warhammer online >_>; where you jumped inside your giant squig and battled as it/in its mouth

How're the sinuses today, Ifalna?

I am much much better Full of beans and had a really great day!

Today was the last day of our "weekend" so I did not do the full amount of painting I normally would, but did get lots of progress on the biggsquig and nurgly manface.

Bigg Squig -

I botched the lighting and left it slightly too dark in these pics, so had to bleach his colours a little to lighten the image :(

Hulk squig gots his nastay teeth. I think they help pull some of the contrast of the red away, but still might be changing the mouth a bit. Chains were a pain in the arse as a lot of them were miscast and I had to actually paint the chains on, when in reality the resin was not very detailed in parts. Chains need some more shading + highlighting.

Goddamn it Finecast.




Nurgle Sorc -

Armor is finished, skin, metals, gribblies, nurglings and cloth are still early on Starting to come together a bit now.

Black parts are unlikely to stay black, I just blocked them in to help me understand the mini a bit better. He is going to have extremely white pallid skin with gross black ichor dribbling from his mouth and wounds, like a corpse bled out and starting to decompose. Ewwwwwww.

Iffy, mad props to your painting article.

To me that is exactly how Nurgle csm should look. I love the white flesh, reminds me of worms. Great, great job.

Did you airbrush that green and purple on the squig?

Excellent

I really like the squig so far. The nurgle dude also look nice, looking forward to seeing these guys done!

sqiugs coming out nice, i like the teeth alot.. and also the nurle guy is ace, what model is he?

This dude, from Forge World.

oo thanks never saw that before

I think its quite rare to see white with Nurgle, but it can look really nice!

Cutthroatcure wrote:Did you airbrush that green and purple on the squig?

I did indeed, handbrushing that colour fade would have been a total nightmare D:

On his say!

Rogue Wolves wrote:oo thanks never saw that before

It's a really nice model, though quite rife with casting issues it seems. I can understand why in fairness, extreme detail.

Click for huge!



Armor and skin done, metals and cloth, nearly done, everything else still WIP!

Awesome stuff as always! Perfect colours and toning. More please...

As for the Squig, it's a hulkling!

Looks great iffy!! I am a big fan of off white nurgle.

nice death guard sorcerer, i might have to get one myself

Makes sense, I was quite interested in the fade technique on the squig if you had in fact hand painted it.

The lime green squig...it's...beautiful.
MOAR!

Wow, I love the contrast with the chains so much. I think I need some manglers of my own now O_o

I consider the nurgle sorcerer a necessary evil standing between me and More Squigs!!

But it's looking good, in that nurglish way

The sorcerer is looking excellent Iffy any plans for the banner?

I have no idea what Im doing with this sorc, he has to be all browns and I am totally winging it, Im trying to make the browns all look different but oh god they are all brown what do I do help me D:

Big Squig had his mouth recoloured today and just a tiny bit of work on spotty mushrooms, its mostly been the nurgle sorc and assembling guardsmen today!

Vitruvian XVII wrote:Looks great iffy!! I am a big fan of off white nurgle.

Yes off white looks really nice versus all the normal Nurgle browns and greens I think, I've definitely seen it done to great effect before, so recommended trying it with the owner on this one

CalasTyphon216 wrote:nice death guard sorcerer, i might have to get one myself

They are really nice models, bar the usual resin problems to deal with, I had to rebend a lot of his parts in hot water, but it all worked out in the end.

Cutthroatcure wrote:Makes sense, I was quite interested in the fade technique on the squig if you had in fact hand painted it.

If it was hand painted I think the technique would have just been " 20 hours of painstaking layering and then jumping out a window after going crazy", so I do think the airbrush is the safer bet!

THERE ARE MANY MOAR WAIT AND SEE OH MY GOODNESS SQUIGS EVERYWHERE

Da Boss wrote:Wow, I love the contrast with the chains so much. I think I need some manglers of my own now O_o

I figured the chains would have to be super dark to get the right contrast, but they still have a fair bit of work to go Everyone needs manglers, it should be model painting law.

He's nearly done and out of the way, promise!

GiraffeX wrote:The sorcerer is looking excellent Iffy any plans for the banner?

Oh.. oh god that IS a banner. Crap. Em, no, no plans really, he's at the max of his painting standard, I can't wing adding freehand on the banner as a bonus with all the rest of the work I have to do :( He looks good with it just plain in fairness, he won't be missing out too much.

Add small a drop or two of various greens (Maybe not the fluro hulk green) to the brown, it'll change up the tone but keep it brown as its the more dominant colour, but I think you're doing fine with it!

Colour Wheel, Iffy. Colour wheel. Find the brown, and go into the greens and the reds.

I want to go into greens and reds but it has to all be "sandy"coloured, I sneaked some very mild green tones into the cloth and some reds and purples into the rot areas and gross heads on the pike, I hope its going to be noticeable :(

Will have the finished shots soon, so fingers crossed.
