Guys! Its crunch time! I didn't get the last of my Christmas gift models painted last night. I will attempt to finish it tonight in order to mail them tomorrow. Wish me luck.

Oh... you're still here. Well I guess you're looking for some more pictures of my works and such.

Well, sorry to disappoint but I'm done with all that. So, go on, go home.

Go.








Chicka chicka























































Just kidding. Hi guys. Hope you all had a lovely couple of holidays. I got super bogged down with family stuff and the like and as such this is really the first chance I've had to breathe. Sorry for the delay in getting the (almost) last of my Christmas gift pictures posted, but here they are.

Thank you for your patience.

Where the hell did I leave off???

Oh, right, I had finished up Valerie.

RIGHT! So, in order to get these treasure to my friends I picked up those little wooden treasure chests. Well, putting a mini in there might normally be safe, but when you combine that with the post office, it leads to broken minis. So, I thought to myself, needs some padding.











Not the prettiest work, but certainly very plush and secure.



Next I needed to differentiate whose chest was whose. As you can see, pencil did quite cut it.



But that's why I picked up this bad boy.



We will not ask why Scarlet's has a black line down his!



With that done, I still had two minis that needed paint. The first one on the chopping block, Sarah's halfling rogue, Onnya. Regrettably, I did not take pictures of her mini completed... I feel kinda dumb about that, but here's what I have minus one super blurry image.

Spoiler:









[/s]


Lastly, I had Etria's pretentious mage Thurmond. He seemed like a super rich, super uppity snob from his description, so with that in mind I let myself have a lot of fun with this one.

Started simply by doing the base.



From there, I had to add some royal colors to his clothes.





The robe had these little raised bits that I felt would really stick out nicely if painted a gold color. So I did.



Next up, a bit of skin tone.





Etria described him as blonde with a goatee, so, blonde he is.





Time to give him a nice mahogany staff.





But it would be so pedestrian to have a staff without gold and jewels affixed to it.



I'm quite proud of it. I painted that new Soulstone Blue on the top of the staff to make it really pop out and it looks great. I also covered it with 'Ardcoat when it dried.



I think he came out rather nicely.





And to finish him up and give him the same kind of magical effect I did to Valerie, I used Waystone Green and painted it over his eyes to give him that ethereal look.



I also inked his boots.



And his scroll cases/bags/thingies





Then came time to bid all my creations farewell.





That's all I got for you guys. Hope you enjoyed.

I'm sorry for my lack of updates lately guys. I've been deal with some personal daemons and its left me drained. I have about 3 weeks of photos (not as many as it sounds) to upload, but I'll do that tomorrow night when I finish painting more.

Before him stands a door. It is coated in an equal measure of dust and rust, having not been opened for countless ages. Tentatively, he reaches out and thumbs the flickering red rune on the keypad. With the groan of ancient actuators the door shakes loose sediment build up and opens. Stale air spills out and the figure steps inside. The room is largely bare save for a table, upon which lay the tools of his trade. Slowly, a smile creases his face.

"Its good to be back,"



Hey kids! Did you miss me? Cuz I missed you! That's right all of you! Snuffy, Al, Leo, Little Moe with the gimpy leg, Cheeks, Boney Bob, Cliff. I missed all you knuckleheads! (Bonus points if you know what that references!)

I am back, and feeling better than I have in a while.

I even have some stuff to share with you! Check out what I got!



Now technically its still Christmas gifts. (I know, I'm terrible....) But I thought I would spoil myself and get something for my long neglected Chem-Dogs in the process.



Firstly, we have another sniper to go with Briggs' group. No name yet, but time will tell.



Next, I have a couple of flametroopers to add wherever I please! (1 is for me, 1 is for my dear friend Shawn)

The sculpts are nice, even if I think the sniper's cigar broke off somewhere long ago (no biggie). I started by gluing the flamer hose in place.



Then once I got the sniper assembled, I took a quick shot of them together.



Lookin' nice!







With all the ladies assembled, it was time for a nice undercoat.



First thing's first, the Burner Babes (Copyright/Trademark) needed a bit of color on their.... coats! Yes... their coats....



>_>;



While that dried I decided to get creative with the sniper. I applied layers of Waywatcher Green to the undercoat to color her shirt. (Also note my poor attempt to replace the cigar [looks way too big and I lose it later])





After that it was time for some Death World Forest on her pants.



It was not easy to get her painted fully after I glued her down. I recommend doing all this before that point.



All-in-all, that Waywatcher Green looks really nice. I'm gonna need more of those glazes.





After that, I applied a heavy coat of Agrax to...well... the heavy coat.....



Once I'd given it a very long time to dry, I then decided they couldn't go through life as pasty eldar and had to give them some color.







Then I applied some color to the flamer itself.



Then back to my unnamed sniper! I painted her boots, gloves and gun. I also added a bit of paint to the skulls and bones on her base.







Then I thought; "Ya know, that glaze worked so well on its own, I wonder if I can do the same with inks in successive layers." So, I started with some Agrax for some nice brunette locks.





Then I added some nuln oil to darken it. While that dried I went to town and finished up on some details here and there (without pictures, sorry). I added another layer of Waywatcher to her shirt and then I thought; "Her hair needs a personal touch." So BAM! orange streak. This is the end result as of last week.









Not too shabby for a lot of experimenting. BACK TO THE BURNER BABES! I pried them from their bases so that I could better get at their... boots.... I was totally thinking boots!



I touched up their legs while I was at it.





Originally the redhead was going to be mine (I have a type, don't judge). But I texted my buddy and he said he likes red hair, pale skin and blue eyes. So... looks like they'll both be red heads.



And there you have it.

3 weeks worth of work (give or take).

Did you miss me? I missed this.

In keeping with my band of slackers and ne'er–do–wells I promptly ignored that order Cam.

I spent Sunday, installing a toilet with zero expertise in plumbing.

It flushes and doesn't leak. So I'll call that a job well done.

Hey guys and gals,

Just wanted to give you all a quick update.

I had a friend come and visit for two weeks in March and I spent most of my time hanging out with her.

Last weekend though I was just a lazy bum.

Things should get back on track-ish soon.

Hey guys

Sorry once again for being gone/crappy.

I've been busy/lazy as all hell lately.

I still have stuff I need to paint, but at the same time I have a cosplay outfit I need to get ready by the time GenCon rolls around. That said, all my painting will likely be tabled for the time being.

I know, I'm sorry. :(

Hey bud, it's ups and down on the hobby, life has priorities, we will wait impatiently for your return to the proper life.

Oh and agree with Warkitten, a lady friend is no excuse, put it away boy and get painting!

Other excuses are accepted and life is like that sometimes.

Hey guys

Just a heads up on my current whereabouts.

I am still mainly working on the costume (I want to get it done before the convention after all).

But along some P&M lines (for a change) I will be doing some painting here soon as well.

I need to make a new DnD character for Gencon and I plan on flexing my weak little green stuff muscles when I do.

Did you guys know that sewing is hard?

Like... way more complicated than I thought.

And the instructions may as well be written in quniform.

My costume for Gen Con is almost done. And, I feel, like next year I won't be trying to MAKE clothes. I'll focus on modifying some instead.

Way less involved.

After August my painting and modeling should resume.

Much love for everyone still here.
