Thanks, all

youwashock, yeah, I have no idea what it is, but I really didn't like the Gorm and still think it's really ugly, but with all the early game content, I finally decided to get one and, for whatever reason, painting it came really naturally to me.

Some more nemeses, with the standard notes.

Catching up-- the People of the Stars and a second Gorm:

Holy **** that OSL!!! Amazing wrk

Thanks! KD has really given me every excuse I could dream of to play with OSL

A couple more projects, with the usualnotes.

Also, less usual--

a strategy guide and

a review (of the spidicules)

Can't believe you have so few posters in this thread, your work is incredible. I'll just assume everyone is reading in stunned silence

Haha, thanks

A few more minis, both repeats of sets that are new commissions, and some first time minis for my own collection (and a few notes):

Painted up a sunstalker, with some extended notes on art and gaming.

Fantastic work on all of this. Your style suits the KD miniature range really well. The way you do OSL really gives them a lonely ominous and threatening vibe. I'm a huge fan of the KD range and you've done it wonderful justice. Can't wait to see more.

Really creepy. Nice work.

EDC

So, second DBK set (with a few notes on style)




Automatically Appended Next Post:
Oh, also, didn't see the notes, thanks, guys! Yeah, I love working in a gloomy/spooky feel.

Pretty proud of my latest Watcher (some notes)

High highness, the dragon king:


...and a scale shot:

Absolutely amazing, bravo! You've definitely done the Dragon King justice.

The paintjob on the second Gorm actually makes me want to own the model, which I never thought I'd do as it's my least favourite KD monster.

Also, Dung Beetle Knight is superb, I think your painting skills have actually improved since the first KD miniatures that you painted.

Thanks!

On the Gorm, yeah, I didn't like the model much, but ended up getting it b/c it's an early quarry, and I was surprised how much I liked it once it saw some paint.

Candy & cola, with usual notes



and an action shot

A couple big bads (with notes)

So, a modified Butcher (with WIP shots)

Oh, wow. I missed Candy. She looks great. Butcher, too. Savage power.

Your shading and detail work is amazing. I'm assuming multiple layers and glazing?

Thanks!

marcus, yeah, most of my models start with a white undercoat and I shade down before doing final highlights back up.

Man, those all look so good! Now that I am settling into "wait forever" mode with regards to the KD1.5 Kickstarter, I am deeply torn on whether I want to go through your blog for ideas and inspiration but stoke the fires of impatience for the game to deliver, or pretend KD is something that doesn't exist and purge all links and subscriptions till it is in my hands. Life decisions, man... you make them hard

Hehe, thanks

There'll be plenty to play around with come late summer/early fall.

Next up, a few monopose ladies with minor modification:

King's Man and a survivor in a bit of a showdown, with a link with more pics

Next up, some pretty over homage models (with notes)

Lovely OSL across these models, Great work and very atmospheric.

Your astounding minis are going to cause me no end of anxiety when I get my KD:M pledge, SC! Love the greenish glow on that survivor and Kingsman.

Thanks!

The Kingsman duo is pretty tricky-- I'm used to orange light at this point, but there are a lot of different greens and yellows that go into the kinda' lime color.
