Can we see some pics of your friends horses or are they shy?

hey iffy got some lvl 26 crossbows lying around?
my DH could do with a DPS buff

I got the Frostborn Gauntlets twice so far, the first one was the perfect one for a DH, while the second one was perfect except it had INT instead of Dex...I was pissed! They are worth some money

Loving the red mangler

The red mangler squig is looking excellent Iffy, love the white spots.

Sorry I was not around yesterday, bedridden for practically the whole day with a migraine. Massive, massive fail. :(

Jackal wrote:You need more squigs though
Im sure there are some colour combinations you have missed.
I may make a few piksquigs yet, just ordered another 20 to join my ever growing squig heard.

I am sure I can think up a few more colours The pikasquigs are both horrifying and amazing.

I stuck with the blue for the tongue so the goblin in there would stand out, if I had gone acid green I think he would have been hard to see!

Humblesteve wrote:Ifalna, just wanted to say my wife and I have been using your tutorial to improve our painting skills. Very helpful. Thank you! By her third model she picked up washing really well.
One question though- we never bought a black wash and we've been using really thin black paint. Is that ok or would you say the ink/wash is a must?

Oh! Awesome to hear it was some use! Thin black paint will work fine for basic shading, but the reason the wash is so useful is it will pool properly in the recesses and not across the whole area. If you use thinning or glazing agent instead of water, it should be closer to what a washes consistency is

I would definitely recommend getting some though, it is great stuff.

I will ask her if its ok to post them, she is pretty shy and might want them to be finished before I put shots out on the interwebs, hehe.

Done and done.

Aye legionaries are horrible, the vast majority of legendary and set items are not worth their disenchanting mats, painful.

Cheers He is definitely starting to look cool and partially finished now.

Big red Mangler approaching completion, chains base and claws need some touchups, but everything else now is pretty much done






Little Blue squig on his way too, one more layer on teeth/toes and gums should do it

The green on the little blue squig's tongue and gums is fantastic, as is the red one's. You've gotten great with...mouths

i agree that if you used a green tounge then that goblin would be hard to see, plus i really think adding a cool color to this mix of warm skin colors, it really adds more detail and balance

The squigs are funkaayyyyy. They are as bright as poison arrow frogs.

Mine are still sitting around waiting for their turn - by the time I get around to it I will have to wipe of a layer of dust probably.

Cool! Love those Mangler squigs! They're really good (you don't say...) Somehow that Goblin crawling out the mouth reminds me of something...

One thing, on the main guy, the base is abit bare, but then you might be painting it later...

Just catching up on the last few pages.
You got pigs, Ifalna? Inside or outside pets? I used to have a pair. They can be destructive inside pets if you're not careful, but they're SO much fun.

Have you tried rubbing their bellies yet? Pigs love having their bellies rubbed. If you start while it's standing up, it will lean over to give you a better angle. It will keep leaning farther and farther until, eventually, it falls over. HILARIOUS!

Got pics?

That tongue is sick nasty! I like it!

Question: Am I right in thinking that Barn Owl chicks trump Guinea Pigs?

Well, after an awkward moment last time i commented here I thought it's about time I tempted fate again :-)

that red squig is really nicely done! I am quite fond of the little green dude in his mouth, he adds a nice bit of contrast to the model and the blue one will be perfect on the base too!
you should have been a dental assistant as you seem to really apply yourself when putting your brushes on mouths and spend time getting it just right! sometimes i wish i had something you could put your brush in it's mouth and work your magic!

Love the red squig so much! The poor little guy in his mouth absolutely makes the model The little blue guy is a brave choice of colours, and I'm really impressed that it works so well.

Your entire squig horde is freaking adorable!

I have been craaaazy busy, updates tomorrow. Mawlocs/trygons take quite a while to assemble... /cough

Oh gosh, the base will look totally different when you see it next, that was just the basic sand!

Indoors, only about 2 months old and had never been handled when we got them 2 weeks or so ago, I've been working with them and how have them happily eating while on my lap




I will totally try belly rubs when they aren't as nervous, right now they only like head and backs being stroked

SO GREEN.

Haha, mouths are fun to paint, I enjoy painting anything very organic and you can make mouths all shiny and nasty and they look great!

Thanks dude! Little guy will be on his base in the shots tomorrow so you can see the contrast, it is great

Aaaaand back to painting!

Lovely guinea pigs Iffy, I love the squeaking noise they make when they here you coming or its food time.

One day you will be a great pokemon trainer and your guinea pigs will evolve into Piloswine.

Now them some good looking pigs!

Now this should be called Pigs and Squigs!

Lordy, I'd love to see your take on some of the Malifaux pigs and gremlins, Iffy - that's got Pigs & Squigs written all over it!

I really like the coloring of the spot on the top guinea pig!

Hmm.
Not the "pigs" I thought you meant. LOL

I used to have a pair of Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pigs.

I don't know how guinea pigs will take to the belly rubs. LOL

Haha, oh man No, not the same kind of pigs. These may still end up liking tummy rubs though

Quick pic spam before I go to bed with ANOTHER headache, FUN TIMES.

Big blue about 50% completed. Tabletop standard.
Striping has its base layer down, highlighting needs to be toned down and finished, then mouth and all additional pointy green bits to be added





And Big red firetruck all done and just waiting on his rider to be added






Whoah these shots are getting compressed to bits, thats a lot of loss of detail D:

I am willing your head to stop hurting so you can paint moar faster! Join me in my psycher powers friends!

I love the colors on the Trygon, especially the blue on the carapace on the head and the green on the tail. And the squig is amazing! Love that tongue. I think you should paint more blue!

I hope you feel better soon.

The squigs look AMAZING! Really like the contrast between Mr. Firetruck and his Lil' Buddy.
With luck Ill be joining your Squig madness with my own in a day or two. Just gotta boot up the ol' airbrush!

And that Nid scheme is really striking. I assume its the same sort of final coloration as that Carnifex you had for sale a while back?

Live Iffy! LIIIIIIVE!!!!




OH SHI------*static*

These are looking awesome! Also, don't know whether you're aware, but Syndol (ultimate over the counter anti-migraine med) is back on the market.

cool
squigs and nice G pigs

Those squigs are just fantastic Iffy... really love the way they came out. Having both on the same base is just brilliant as well. The colors play off each other so well.

Nicely done, Ifalna - though I still think Big Red should be winding up to kick Little Boy Blue
