Though I love me a redhead... I think the cloak needs to go more orange. Black to Red to orange. Black being the closest to the body and on out ect. It's too pink or I'm not getting the color right on my monitor. ( or I'm old)

I think you've been around moonpie too much

He's my Hero after all!

I like the red wash addition.

So say we all!

Glad you approve.
She's pretty much done. Been an absolute nightmare to photograph, ended up using the back cover of a book on San Francisco graffiti that I'm using for reference as a backdrop.



Clearing up the kids' junk, found this -

Great scale, may not even repaint.

Got a whole lot of review stuff. Plascraft sent me a sample of their new church - they do preprinted PVC terrain for post apoc, infinity, malifaux, and medieval:

It's an impressive kit

But missing two end walls doesn't bode terribly well...

Also got some samples from etchmaster




Very purdy. They also have a SciFi set coming to ks next week, with base toppers

Lovely though I look at blades and just think how horribly flimsy they would be- any ideas?

Hey ho
Graven

BW looks good, nice contrast!

The church does look pretty neat too.

Good Lord man, you're just rolling in swag!

Loads of cool stuff there, I have a plastcraft building but Ive not found any glue that sticks it together so far so will be interested to see what you use.

That etchmaster stuff looks really nice, I might have to take a closer look at some of those pieces.

Thanks. Using the background really helps but I'm not sorry to see the back of her!

Oh no! Don't say that!actually that's an interesting point in that they don't recommend any particular glue. I've dry fitted most of it and it's really sturdy - just frustrating. What kit do you have?

I should stick to bad guys, as the title says. TV Cyrus Gold, The Acolyte:



Given that mostly this was done between half 4 and half 5 this morning I'm delighted. Really sets the tone for the Mirakuru guys generally. Will try to to do some more Monday, methinks.

@hk1x1 - ks going live Thursday I think. I'll link it along with review anon

Love the OSL graven... really great work!

Yeah that OSL looks amazing.

I have the Graveyard set, I've currently given up with it!

That's a stunning mini. Well done Graven you've outdone yourself

Yeah, you've smashed that one out of the bat-park! If his compatriots are up to scratch, that should be one bad ass gang!

Thanks bud. I just went full force with it, and was worried it would look OTT.

Thanks mate. Am now filled with dread...

Thanks so much! Please vote folks if you're so minded.

I batsee what you batdid there. So will I continue with them just now? Other (primed) bad guys on the table were killer Croc, Solomon Grundy and more penguin thugs. What do we think?

I'd carry on

Awesome.. love the effect.

Lots of nice stuff! Batgirl version looks great, Brute is mean looking, the truck is fine as is, plenty fun for you with all the bat stuff!

That Cyrus Gold is ing amazing. plus doing it within an hour no matter the time of day is crazy.

Thanks to you all my friends! So Deathstroke crew progress:

I like the death stroke crew. Looks great and is a nice take on the militia.

I think they look great graven.

Thanks chaps. For your consideration :


Closer ups of Scarecrow / brother blood




Fun to do

Next up, Azrael, comic style

Made up an etch master base topper for him

Like that the grate is a separate piece and there's a variety of them. And very quick to paint!

Awesome stuff! Looking forward to your take on Az, will there be conversion or just a comicy paintjob?

They look great Graven, you're really on a roll lately

Good stuff.

Apologies in advance for being TFG, ( nice word shield, eh? ) but the lighting on your photos needs improvement. You need to adjust/re-position it so that there are not such strong shadows behind the minis. It makes it harder to see them, at least for me. (I've got the presbyopia thing going on... sigh.)

Lots of nice work you have going on, Graven. Keep at it.

Just paintjob. Much red and yellow

I quite agree. I've got some repainting on Scarecrow/brother blood to do so I'll try to make a better lighting setup then.

Many thanks!

So this came:


3 of Gamemat.eu's... gamemats. Well, 2 gamer, 1 baby

A request, adepti-chums: any of you at Adepticon able to take pics of Gamemats in action? iirc they are sponsoring Adepticon this year and there will be 55 of their mats in use across various games. Would be hugely helpful for an article I'm writing!

Many thanks amigos,
Graven

Hey folks. Just a brief update today, my latest Geeking Out blog post, about Etch-master's brass / kickstarter, is up:
http://bigcomicpage.com/category/articles/geeking-out/

Also just a wee reminder of my grovelling request for in situ pics of Gamemat.eu's mats at Adepticon!
I've repainted Scarecrow / brother blood's cloak, wet blended, looks much better, but still working on camera setup.
Still - 2 weeks of school holidays!

And here is, in the ruins of "his" city:


Much happier with cloak and light setup. Backdrop helps balance everything, too.

Might switch to some xwing repaints next: Ghost, Phantom, Tie Bomber and Tie Phantom sitting waiting...

Later,
Graven

Wait, no, turns out this is next :

Excited to see what you do with Killer Croc. Any interest in Knight's Marvel game?

Thanks man. The ochre base is a good start for both green skin and orange trousers, hopefully. Nah, not really sold on it: I'm a dc boy at heart, and the game itself feels to me just like a bit of a knock off of Pulp City.

Can I also take a moment to thank everyone who's voting on my stuff? My batsignal is on the front page of the gallery and it's such a wonderful feeling (albeit somewhat nerve wracking!) to see the scores for this and others. Many thanks!

Much better photo without the back shadow. Apparently I need to check the front page more often. I'm missing everyone's work there. I've bookmarked the forum index and go straight to it.
