A Lazy Weekend

Greetings once more, readers.  I am obviously back, and I have the updates to show for it.  I haven't gotten much painted since I got back, but today you'll get to see a bit of why.  You see, I just got a bunch of Kickstarter stuff in, and well:

That's a good chunk of Malifaux figures assembled and ready to prime, and yet:

There's still a few more.  This is just the tip for what I've gotten - but that will have to wait for another day - and I think that's going to be my next major project, and boy, will it take a long while.  It should be pretty awesome once it's done, however.

And the last tidbit for tonight, is the finished version of Tobias Winterhorn.  Quite a change from the basic greys we started with, eh?

Well, that's all from me today.  I probably won't have anything tomorrow, but tune in Monday for... well, whatever I end up doing then.  Until then?  Paint on!

A bit late, but still here

Sorry about the late post, all.  Didn't get as much done as I would have liked, but I have something to show for it, now.  Let's start with the first addition to the standard cast of characters that I'm going to be using with Daz3d for my 3d renders and a lot of my custom female characters:  Janet!

I'll work on getting more characters set up to go with her over the next while.  But for now, I have some work on figures that I did get done.  First up is Brother Silence from The Gamers: Dorkness Rising:

Almost finished, just need to get the static grass on his base.  I decided that the black belt and  orange gi would be best for really making him feel like a classic monk - though I can't say that I'm a big fan of how pudgy the figure's face is...  Ah, well.  That's neither here nor there - just something to comment on as we pass it by.

We finish up my progress today with a fine elven druid.  This is Reaper Miniatures Tobias Winterhorn.  Still very early in painting him up - but I like what I'm seeing on him so far!  Tune in tomorrow for the finished product.

That's all I have for today, folks.  Tune in tomorrow to see what else I get done.  Until then?  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!
