The Noblest of Demons

Greetings once more, readers.  Another month come and gone, and it's time for another painting competition piece.  I went with something smaller this time - purchased on Wednesday, assembled that night, and then painted up today.  While I would like to say I've gotten more done - not that I didn't spend quite a lot of time on this guy - between Typing of the Dead, the new Super Smash Bros 3DS game, and a whole lot of Doctor Who, I really haven't gotten much done.  But I think you'll all agree, the couple of hours I squirreled away to put into this guy today were well worth it:






That's all I have for this week. I'll probably turn this guy in on Friday - which will give me plenty of time to show him off to my friends around here.  So, until next time, folks - paint on!

He's got a weapon's platform pointed right at you

Greetings once more, readers mine!  These updates sure aren't coming out as quick as I'd like - as quick as I do stuff, but still not as quick as I'd like.  But, that said, I do have Baron Blade painted up and ready to menace:






This master of disaster not only has a legion of loyal goons doing his bidding, but is well known for showing up with a flying weapons platform to follow through with his threats.  He has also been known as a mad bomber - and in any case, he's a nasty villain to deal with.

Voting has wrapped up on the last painting contest - and this month's is something red.  I'm going to try for some crazy lighting effects on this one - I have a figure that is standing on top of some rather craggy ground, so I'm going to try to make it look like he's standing on top of a lava flow.  If it works out, it should look rather spectacular - and you all will get to see the process as I work through it.

So tune in next time to see what I have up my sleeve - and until then, paint on!
