She's certainly looking sharp - and there's something super on the horizon!

Greetings all!  It's certainly been a bit, but I'm finally back and raring to go!  We'll start off by finishing off what I started before I left - the lovely dwarven lass, Ursula Silverbeard:

I would certainly say that she came out looking quite nice.  Definitely ready for the flocking and to get sealed up with the next batch that I do.  And, speaking of which...  I've been hinting at it for a bit, but here's the next big project that I'm going to be working on.  It's from the new game from a company that I've grown to rather enjoy over the years - and since I won't know what I need to be painting up until Friday for this month's painting contest, I'm going to get an early start on it:

That's right, folks - I'm going to work on painting up all the figures from the Sentinels: Tactics board game over the next...  Well, however many weeks it's going to take to paint them all up.  The Proletariat is probably going to be the most annoying for me, painting up the same color scheme, pose, and all that six times running - though I'm probably going to stagger him out over the course of the rest of the figures.

Well, that's all I've got for today, folks.  I'll have more to post up tomorrow, so tune in to see how this super project starts rolling.  And until then, folks - paint on!

A Lass with an Axe to Grind

Greetings once more readers.  I'm afraid I don' t have the best figure to go on hold with, but I promised you something, and this is better than nothing.  I'm about halfway done with her - done with the skin, hair, eye, and hair, and just started on the cloak/armor set (first coat).  Anyways, you all want to see what I've done, right?  Well, here she is!

Still a ways to go, but she is definitely looking good!  Don't forget, I'll be out for a while folks - but when I get back, I'll be finishing her up and painting up the next competition piece - and then, well, let's just say I'll get to work on one of the kickstarters I recently got in.  So, tune in a week from now to hear what's going to go down - it should be quite a battle!

Until next time, folks - paint on!

Primed for August

Greetings once more, readers mine.  Thank you for all the views you gave me yesterday - too bad I didn't have the update ready for you all yet...  But let me make up for that now, with some pics of the latest batch of stuff I've primed up and have ready to hit the painting table:


First off, we have a vampiress from Games Workshop... that I've managed to completely forget the name of...  Well, she's one that I stole the hand from for Lady Avery's sculpt, so I decided to replace her dainty little hand and fine sword... with a Warhammer 40K power axe.  Well, I never said that I had good taste, but I do like the image of a woman wielding a weapon near as large as she is:

Next up we have a lovely dwarf lass that...  Well, I guess her axe is pretty sizable as well.  Well, at least she looks stout enough to wield it properly:

The march of ladies continues with something that's a bit less obvious - one of the Warhammer Dryads.  Definitely feminine, if you get a good look at them - but mostly what you see is wood.

Speaking of wood, this druid - Tobias Winterborn - makes a striking figure, with his longspear in one hand and his pose being held up by a rather impressive vine.  He'll be a fun one to paint up - after I finish my next big guy (you all know who I mean):

And finally, we come to our main attraction:  The villainous County Mannfred from Warhammer Fantasy.  He's the next competition piece I have to paint up - and he's a nasty looking fellow.  Here's the picture you would have gotten if I had been on the ball and posted yesterday:

And here's what you're patience gets you: all primed up and waiting the brush to make him glow - though he already has that sort of silent film, black and white feel to him (though I doubt that just taking this in will win me as many votes):

That's all from me today.  Tune in tomorrow to see how the 'good' count develops - and I may have another 3d render for you all - if I can figure out everything for the software...  Until then, folks - paint on!
