Haha, this is a funny entry. I love that you can actually see the string/wires holding them up.

Good luck in this final round. 

Wires? What wires? I don’t see any wires, I just see some thrilling and amazing magic! 😉

It's been a busy couple of weeks. I posted my entry to the gallery with about 5 minutes left on the countdown, so the approval on it didn't go through until sometime this morning.

I scratched it before I painted it because creating a random looking but appropriately spaced set of scratches into plasticard is tough (I had to scrap the first one I made) and I didn't want to risk screwing up such a time consuming piece. Also, the plasticard is bright white and I didn't want it popping out too much.

8 so far.

And how many more ponies do you have sitting around waiting to be painted?

So how many pony entries is this for you now, @LordZombie?

Thanks! I figured this was the perfect opportunity to try new things out! I'm really glad the weathering turned out well--it's always nerve-wracking to go and weather anything, even more so when it's weathering some freehand work. 

Very cool! I'm a big fan of what you did on the blade! Best of luck to you!

Great entry, very creative! beautiful painting on the figures. Perhaps the bottom of the flames could have been a bit brighter for an even more striking effect, but that's being a bit nitpicky  

Thanks! I completely agree that the base of the flames could be brighter--I didn't notice that until I was lighting it for photography and by that point it was too late to change.

Cutting it a little close on the deadline there...
Looks great!

Looks like we both went with Forge World Warhammer Fantasy models on a rocky outcropping with this one! Fantastic job!

Fantastic. Where are these  models  from? 

The smaller critter is a Beastman Great Bray-Shaman from GW. The big critter is the Incarnate Elemental of Beasts from Forge World; sadly it appears to no longer be available from Forge World. I've had it sitting unbuilt in my hobby closet for a couple of years because it was such a cool model that I didn't want to mess it up with a bad paint job.

The lighting on this is great! Very nice piece!

Thanks! I may have learned a thing or two from a couple of guides in Wyrd Chronicles

I knew whose this was without even looking who posted the photo. Waghorn41, you never fail to make me chuckle.

Phenominal! The top photo almost looks like an oil painting. You've made some art right here.

Now your posts make much more sense! The strings seem sorta heavy for the piece, maybe thread or fishing line would work better?  Otherwise, love this interpretation of the theme!

I actually used thread for the strings. I contemplated using fishing line, but decided against it as I wanted the strings to be visible against the background.

You broke my mind! Great job with messing with perspective!

I want to go do karaoke with Davorc Bowly! Seems like it would be one crazy evening...

So, are the penguins the most feared creatures to which you refer or do you mean the Doctor?

Fun piece

Clever use of the paint pot! Grats on surviving all the rounds!

Ha! I hadn't noticed that! Good catch!

Really fun piece, great job!

Very nice! Not getting the wick theme, but still nice. 

The quote "something wicked this way comes" is from the Shakespeare play MacBeth (same scene as the famous "double double toil and trouble, fire burn and cauldron bubble" quote), wherein MacBeth encounters three witches who foretell his future. In my caption I included the original quote.

Great job! I've never seen someone do a forced perspective thing like this with a miniature! Really cool idea and great execution! The top left photo really captures this the best. Digging the homage to Dr. Strangelove too.

One of my favorite books growing! Such a cool interpretation on the theme. Your stuff never ceases to amaze.

Very cool!

I really do enjoy this mini every time I see it :-)

I really like the gold pattern on his jacket. Great job!
