There is something indefinably adorable about a hairless cat wearing a sweater. If I could knit I would make them cat balaclavas.

Bala-claw-vas, surely?

Don't get me wrong It looks really good. Personal preference is all.

Nawww Leeloo can look really sweet when she wants, that really is a " Get this thing away from me right now" look.

She dislikes Cloud, she just tolerates him for now, but is slowly warming up to him.

Is she tired of getting hassled for her multipass??

BIG BADA BOOM!


Yea we have a new cat as well, and our older cat Fern really dislikes her Its rather amusing to me anyways.

Heartbreak. Right there. Who better than an Ork to be named "Dusty Bottoms"?

Why for so few updates? ~

Painting 37 Termigants to a low tabletop standard has driven her mad.

And here I figured for sure it was the smell of the paint

I think its the licking of the brushes that does that, or is that the after effect I get mixed up

She was mad before this commission, Gitsplitta, so I doubt it is your fault

Dont you mean MADDER??

I think she's had a breakdown, believes she is The Ifalna, and is mourning the death of Aeris (Aerith). I have a feeling you may get your nids back painted up as chocobos Gits.

LOL! The boy would love it.

Shhh! That'll only encourage her

IM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU ALL HAVE SUCH FAITH IN ME.

No but really, sorry for the lack of updates. Had a triple whammy of RL problems pop up ( why are they always in groups..) that are happily all resolved now and I will have shots up tonight

Thanks for not automatically assuming I had gone insane from painting nids and had an identity crisis or anything like that, that would be crazy!

Gringo orks drunk on tequila- love it !!!!!! I'll get the lime and salt out do a shot now in your honor.

None of these RL problems better have affected the kitten...

Glad to hear you're OK, though, Ifalna.

No, he is fine. Better than fine. King of the hill here, wakes me up at 6am on the dot every morning to demand to enter the living room, only to sprawl on my lap and sleep again while I squint sleepy eyed at the pc monitor and mutter threats at him.

Once his mind controlling levels of cuteness wear off, he is going to have a real reality check.

Glad you're back Iffy, was starting to wonder if something "bad" had happened. Sounds like things are back on an even keel. Looking forward to your next update!

Iffy, I think this is what you meant

So...Much...Awesomeness...
I am not worthy...
Your painting is an inspiration, literally, your big tyranid inspired the paint scheme on one of mine.
Good job. I shall be keeping an eye on this thread from now on.

Glad you're ok, and the RL issues have been sorted.



Does this mean that we won't be seeing chocobo stylee 'nids then?

Sorry for the worry Gits, everything should be fine for me come tomorrow, and hopefully even better in the near future! /fingers crossed

Oh wow, thanks dude! Glad you have been enjoying the models, I aim to please! Is it the niddly in your gallery? If so, it's looking nice!

No no, that would just be silly. Chocobo steeds of Slaanesh though?
... now we are talkin


So character standard Bandito big boss has his skin finished, and I've started on his mouth, metals, and bone /hat. He is going to have a fancy hat I hope, and maybe some crazy trousers. I just don't know yet. I just don't know.





Also, 15 of the mini nids are now finished, and the rest are all at the same stage (pinks, whites, shades and bones down - starting on lining ) Nice that they are starting to finish off now.

Darkened the carapaces with some green/black wash mix and it really added some richness. Kudos to Gits for the idea. They don't have long to go, but getting a group shot will be hard, there are a LOT of these little niddlies!



Edit - oh yeah, and I have some pm's to get through, will get some before bed and then in the morning thanks everyone for your patience, it's super appreciated.

That 'Bandito big boss' is looking wicked, wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley, or a well lit alley for that matter.

Yeah, it's in the gallery, I'm sure you see the likeness. Thanks that's high praise coming from you.

Little nids are looking extra spicy there Iffy!

Lovely skin on that bandito-boss, I must try some like that with my guys sometime. Niddies look cool, but I was hoping for something a bit more golden, you know

Hmm, you might be on to something with the steeds though. Whose up for sculpting a gak-load of feathers?

I still love how you paint ork skin. You get the texture so vivid! Something I gotta figure out how to do better!

Dammit.

Barrett from an ork.
Cid from a delaque? Or maybe one of the PP warcasters oe engineers. In fact I think I have one that fits the bill.
Vincent from an elf? I'm mainly thinking of the cloak and headband there, so a bit iffy.
Red from any of several cat minis/toys.
Yuffie from an escher juve/mordheim brat.
Sephiroth from Fabius Bile?
Tifa from an escher? Maybe a juve.
Cloud from a variety of sources, same for Aeris.

Cait???

OK, I've written it down, maybe the idea will leave me alone now....
