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!

No Time for Villainy

Well, another weekend gone and nowhere near as much done as I would have liked, due to a combination of tournaments keeping me up later than I prefer, and a new game called The Vanishing of Ethan Carter tying up most my time outside of that (awesome game, by the way - definitely one that I recommend for those who are more into the cerebral side of games).  But I did manage to get one item painted up - as promised, I give you Citizen Dawn:

That's all I have for today.  Tune in next time, for the dastardly Baron Blade.  Until then, folks - paint on!

The best laid plans...

Greetings, all.  I meant to get something painted up last night, but was lured away by the siren call of this seasons TV dramas. I'm usually not a big TV watcher, but this season looks like it'll be spectacular - with Gotham, Scorpion, and Agents of Shield already showing (and drawing my attention all last night), and The Flash, Arrow, Constantine,and perhaps a few others to go with them.

But that's not why you're here, is it?  You're here to see what I've been up to, and I'm not going to disappoint.  Tonight, I give you The Proletariat.  This ex-russian is a rather nasty case, but I'll get more into that later:

And there you have it.  The proletariat, in his full miniature glory.  What's that?  You want to hear more about him?  We'll see where the luck of the draw takes us - but let's just say that this isn't the last we'll see of this particular villain.  But next time, we have the charismatic and dangerous Citizen Dawn to worry about - and where she goes, her citizens are never far behind.

Except maybe here.  We'll see what I want to paint when she's done.

So tune in next time, and until then - paint on!

And time keeps on slipping

Once again, a long wait since the last post - but between work and the competition piece, I really haven't had much to show.  But now...  Now the competition piece is in and ready for the voting!

Unfortunately, I'm up against some really hefty competition this time around, so I doubt I'll win - but I'm sure that it will put up a solid showing, and place well!

And with that out of the way, I can continue with my next project - continuing on with the Sentinel Tactics miniatures.  Today, I bring you the stalwart leader of the Sentinels, Legacy:

A strapping young man who would bend over backwards to help his teammates.  But his alternate future self is not one to be trifled with - no siree!  I am very happy with how this figure came out, and can hardly wait to get him on the table to play (after sealing, of course).  Here's hoping the rest of his teammates come out looking nearly this good (glopped on the paint a bit thick on the cape - which means there was some actual wet blending going on back there!).

That's all I have for this week.  With the big slog finished with, I may be able to start cranking out these little guys again, but we'll see how things go.  One way or the other, the next one on my list is the Proletariat!  So tune in next time to see how it develops - be that Tuesday or a week from today.  I can assure you - it will be coming.  And until it does?

Paint on!

The Chairman sends his regards

Greetings once more, readers.  Time for the latest on what I've been working on - and I've been working on the first of the figures for Sentinel Tactics.  I've started with the Operative (mostly because she was on the top of the deck of cards): a very dangerous assassin who is often hired by The Chairman - one of the heads of organized crime.  In the Sentinels of the Multiverse card game, she acts as The Chairman's muscle, protecting him from harm until she's taken out.  In the Tactics game, she's a pretty nasty melee character who really knows how to use that sword of hers:

And that's all I have for today.  Tune in Friday for the next assembled competition piece, and then on Saturday to see the start of it getting painted.  Until then, folks - paint on!

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!
