Lovely skin tone on Chimera and a cool color scheme for your Overlords, love the green/brown contrast.

Thanks!

I'm being a bit conservative with that particular Overlord, some of the others will probably be a bit more colourful, I'm currently mulling over the idea of doing a couple in "girly" colours to hint that there may be a lady Dwarf inside the suit.


Didn't get a lot of painting done this week, was sidetracked into assembling these ladies:-



As much as I may complain about Kingdom Death in other parts of the forum, I do like their minis!

But, as it's now over, I can show off my competition mini, Quinn the Investigator (Reaper):-




Even though I didn't get anywhere in the competition itself, I thought I did a good job on him so I'm still happy.

Oh wow, it's been a while huh?

Those Kingdom Death minis are gorgeous! Definitely a range I wanna have a go at painting someday, though I can see it being one of those things I'd keep putting off till I get "good enough"

Nice work on the competition mini, really liking the colour palette you picked for it. Good update!

Great round of miniatures (I too had lots to catch-up on!) - there must have been some stiff competition for your fella to not get anywhere

Thanks for sharing

Excellent Investigator, and I do like the menagerie of hero’s and scoundrels! Nicely done

Yeah, I'm still pretty reluctant to paint my Kingdom Death stuff. They're no more detailed than the average GW mini but they seem more intricate somehow!

Yeah, standards were much higher than I thought they'd be, my poor little dude didn't stand a chance with all the fancy stuff everyone else was doing!

Finished more stuff!

The Chimera (Etherfields):-




Pretty pleased with how this one turned out, even though I never got her skin the way I wanted it.

Skefill (Games Workshop):-




I'm also pretty happy with this one, despite taking the lazy option in painting his gem encrusted base.

On the table now is Mecha Toto:-



And, Little Dot:-



I'm trying to get my Oz gang finished by the end of the year.

I quite like the KO base. The subdued tones contrast nicely with the gems and keep the focus on the mini.
Already loving the two new steampunk additions!

That Chimera is creepy!

There's quite a bit of creepy in the set.


Merry Christmas! I Hope everyone enjoyed themselves despite the circumstances.

Didn't quite manage to get anything finished.
Toto is all painted up:-



Just need to finish his base, but I'm waiting to do Dorothy's at the same time.
Speaking of:-



There's just a few odds and ends left.

Mostly, I got sidetracked building stuff again, the next things in the painting queue are:-



This pair of lovely ladies.
And:-



This handsome, but headless, dude.

Toto rocks. Good job wrapping up Chimera. Oktoberfest KD gals are exciting to see!

I'd been putting of buying the holiday Pin-ups for a while, as I don't have a great track record when it comes to finishing my larger Kingdom Death minis (or any of my larger stuff for that matter!), but I seem to be doing okay for now.


Managed to get Dorothy and Toto (Twisted) wrapped just before the year ended:-





Not as happy with these two as I was with the rest of the set, Toto in particular ended up rather bland, but at least that's another set done!
Weirdly though, I dug out my older Dorothy mini to do a comparison shot and:-



I'd given them the same colour dress, even though I haven't looked at older Dorothy since I painted her at least a couple years ago, and it's a colour I rarely use.

Finishing them gave me a grand total of 47 minis finished in 2020! Not quite the 52 I wanted to do, sinking a lot of hobby time into stuff I didn't finish (Like that danged submarine) didn't help, but I was close.

For 2021, as I've gotten into Warhammer:- Underworlds in a big way, I want to concentrate on getting more painted (maybe even actually finishing a whole team!). I also want to get more Kingdom Death stuff done as I should (hopefully) be getting a load of stuff from the Kickstarter during the year.
It would also be nice if I could get some of my half-finished big stuff wrapped up.

I'm also going to be having a bit of a clear out, getting rid of some of the random stuff I've been acquiring, so you probably won't see me painting any more Malifaux (I've finally accepted as much as I like their minis, I just don't like painting them), Deep Wars (They're nice, but terrible to put together, especially the resin stuff) or Marvel Crisis Core (I'm just way too behind on releases).
It's a shame as there's quite a few minis in there I was really looking forward to painting at one time, but want to stop spreading myself so thin, and concentrate on a handful of ranges and more self-contained stuff (Like my Etherfields set).

Nice haul you got there in 2020 and great you got Toto and Dorothy finished. And I really love that your subconscious knew which color dress Dorothy needed

Great haul for the year, and spooky regarding the dresses - clearly your eyes remember more than you conscious mind!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks guys! It's always nice to discover you've painted more minis than you thought, even if it's never as many as you'd like.


Didn't quite finish the Octoberfest Aya's:-



But they're coming along nicely.

Also been nibbling away at a couple more, The Brewmistress:-



And Lysette:-

That brewmistress looks very creepy, I would not take drinks from here Other gals are coming along nicely!

Absolutely loving the octoberfest girls, greqat work.

Thanks guys!


Finally got my Octoberfest girls (Kingdom Death) finished:-




They're a little rougher in hand and Big Ayas spilt beer looks nothing like beer, but I'm rather pleased with how they turned out.

Both Brewmistress:-



And Lysette:-



Are getting there slowly.

Aya n' Aya look fabulous. The whites and skintones are super smooth. Lysette is looking wonderful as well.

Wouldn't worry about the beer color, it's just dark ale (is there such a thing? ). Other than that very vibrant colors on them and very smooth white.

Absolutely stunning Oktoberfest models! Great work!

Gorgeous skin tones as ever!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks! I tried something different on the larger skin areas and just applied my Flesh Wash sparingly instead of slooshing it all over, seems to worked our well.

Thanks! There's a lot of layers in that white.

Finally got the Brewmistress (Games Workshop) finished:-




Got a little lazy with the ingredients rack towards the end, just to get it done, but I'm happy with how she turned out.

Poor Lysette had to be put aside (I managed to spill the paint I was using), so she's been replaced by Elodie of the Blade:-



Tried to get her finished last night, but couldn't quite manage it, not much more to go though.

This week is going to be somewhat animal themed:-



Thanks to Business Penguin and the Ratman!

That owl's gonna be a hoot... I let myself out

 Viterbi wrote:

Had a decent week painting-wise.

Finished Elodie (Games Workshop):-



Not hugely happy with her robe, but I'm pleased with the rest.

Also made decent progress with Rat Guy:-



Just got his armour and base to go.

And Business Penguin:-



Not as realistic as some of the versions I've seen, but I like him.

Continuing to paint at a decent pace!

Finished Balmonoth (Games Workshop):-



He came out quite good I think.

I've also finished the Business Penguin (Etherfields):-



Kept it simple, but I think it works.

And brought some new stuff to the table, the Skeleton Champion:-



And the rather odd Ram Pin-up:-

That Ram pinup model looks wild, is it a Kingdom Death mini?

 Inevitable_Faith wrote:

Yes he is, I'd never painted a male pin-up mini so he jumped to the front of the queue.


Continuing to make progress:-



The Champion has had his armour done.



And Ram has had his magnificent buttocks painted!

BUTTS!
Great butt.

My goodness Kingdom Death coming in HAWT with the fan service. I knew they could do female butts for a long time but this is something special! Excellent job on adding some colour to his cheeks, it's looking great!

Lot of nice updates and I hadn't realized it is a penguin, he looks very cool. Love the elven mage, cloak looks good and I love how protective she is of the bonsai
