  1. @Caedrus Samurai for 9ss Struggled with the gun for a few days. Painted myself into a corner with it I feel. I left it for last and using such a limited set of colours elsewhere on the mini didn't leave me much choice. Finally ended up mixing my blue and dark grey basecolours and running with that. There's pink in the bullet tips on the ammobelt, but otherwise the gun is without pink bits. I considered adding some but I feel it works without any. Overall I quite dig this piece. Especially considering it's something of a comeback mini for me, hobbywise. This spring has been my worst painting slump in years. Enough of that though, here's the one and only (out of three) Samurai: Listened to a lot of "Space Ninjas from Hell" while painting this guy. Victorius isn't my favourite cheese metal band, but it's one of their better albums and the mood fit the model. Here's Super Sonic Samurai. ____ If I had to name one inspirational painter above all others, it'd have to be Roman Lappat / Massive Voodoo. What really gets to me is the attitude. The Philosophy. Whatever you want to call it. There's a lot of emotional painting there. Lots of happy painting. Paint your own thing and enjoy doing it. It gives me good hobby vibes. For the youtubes I've got a few regulars: Dr Faust's Painting Clinic - Unlike Caedrus I really enjoy it for the narration. Probably the best (for me) in painting youtube video business. He's an old soft spoken geek. It's a demeanour I find very appealing. Much as I enjoy the actual content of some younger, more 'hip' content producers, their delivery is often a bit too loud for my taste. Vince Venturella's Hobby Cheating - Probably the single most comprehensive free video tutorial resource online. At 249 episodes and counting you can find most things in there. It's good. Check it out. I'll end with a double feature of Trovarion and Kujo Painting. Good teachers with decent libraries of videos to check out. Kujo has memes if you like. Trovarion has a bit more deadpan approach to humour.
  2. Aiming for the usual purple or something else? And did that assembly guide come with the box or did you print it? ____ @Stranglelove Sweet brew crew. Gets me pumped for my own Whiskey Golem.
  3. Best of luck with the little one! It ain't easy finding the time and energy to paint in that situation, but you take what you can get.
  4. And what a Teddy! ____ Samurai wip: I don't really have a plan going forward with this, but I'll have fun figuring it out.
  5. That freehand and gold embroidery is super cool!
  6. Wrath of Kings is something I'd like to get my hands on eventually. Just a few minis for painting. Some neat concepts there. Did you do anything on those cobbles yet? Could do with a little light drybrushing and some washing if you feel like working on it some more. Either way, gotta love it when people love their paintjobs. Big boy like that deserves some affection.
  7. May: Bird, for Batman Miniatures Game. Commission piece for the "I do my own bases" client. And for the Monthly challenge I did a Wandering River Monk. For archival purposes this is a May-June double feature. Did 0 minis in June. Oh well. January: 21 minis February: 28 minis March: 17 minis April: 1 mini May: 2 minis June: 0 minis Total: 69 minis Stay tuned for July when I actually plan to paint again
  8. April was a short one: One bright Tanuki. January: 21 minis February: 28 minis March: 17 minis April: 1 mini Total: 67 minis
  9. Well this was left on the wayside. Oops. Here's what I painted in March, starting with Malifaux: Tanuki and Minako Rei & pals. And for that Battlelore project I did rest of the good-guy archers: I also did a few miscellaneous minis: Daughter, by Vae Victis Miniatures. Bought from a 3d printing company. Mini itself was a bit rough due to print quality. I believe this is an old metal Imperial Guardsman from GW. No idea if it had a more characterful name at some point. Weird pose. I quite enjoyed painting the rough 'n stark look. January: 21 minis February: 28 minis March: 17 minis Total: 66 minis
  10. Thumbs up for that Agent 46. That's some dramatic Last Blossom painting👍
  11. @Caedrus Few things need correcting with my part of the spreadsheet: I didn't Mulligan in January. I also have a different SS count for March, but looking back at that thread I did write it poorly back then. Here's how things ought to be: January 10ss Yasunori February 10ss Silent Knight (Killjoy alt) March 30ss Minako Rei box + one Tanuki April 5ss Tanuki May 5ss Wandering River Monk June Mulligan Looking forward to get back into this.
  12. @Caedrus 5ss for Wandering River Monk this month. Something quick for the challenge. Safe to say my head's not in this lately. Might change later in the year. I've got some ideas, some motivations, brewing. But for now excuse my absent minded contributions to the thread.
  13. I did a few in yellowish brown a while back: Not Malifaux but here's another example of a brown "greenskin" I did, darker this time: Needless to say I think brown works really well. I quite like pale/albinos too, though never painted those myself. Very pale green might also be neat. Technically 'green' but really more of a sickly pale look. I think I'd like to try that some time. Lots of options besides 'green' when doing gremlins.
  14. Day off tomorrow, part of which will be spent perusing this fine thread. But for now, a small weekend Tanuki I did to break my +3 weeks of not painting:
  15. Painted like proper Guild black-ops. If you're thinking of additions, Guild Steward (old Governor's Proxy) is super solid support enforcer. Fits into pretty much any crew.
  16. @Caedrus 25ss done (Minako Rei 8ss, Wanyudo 7ss, Katashiro 2x5ss). ______ @Diddick Interesting. I've used that Magenta Fluo a lot, but never for intensifying reds. Something to try out for sure. Thanks! ______ Turns out I am all Wyrded out for March, far as painting is concerned. Got some other paint projects that need my time too. But these past few days I've been busy building a cult: It's getting quite cramped at my hobby desk so I pretty much need to start clearing these guys out soon ______ Good to see so many painting up so much this month. Joy to see, everyone👍
  17. @zesty kickass fur on Luna. Very pretty overall 👍
  18. Website seems to still be there: https://www.wyrd-games.net/guilders Haven't used them in 3e yet though.
  19. Minako Rei done. And with her the Karmic Debt box in its entirety. Ended up ditching the freehand idea. I did doodle something on the mini. And a lot more on some paper. Couldn't figure out anything I was really happy with. Oh well. Kill your darlings and all that. Might compensate with my next mini. I think I could do one more for March..
  20. I feel you. At least I got month's worth of gaming out of Yasunori Really digging the skintone for this one. Keep them coming👍
  21. Meanwhile I'm stuck doing full weekends and constantly getting asked to do overtime. Sure could use a little quarantine right about now _____ Anyway, slowly chipping onward with Minako: Mask and pants to go, more or less. Initially thought about doing something tiger themed for pants freehand, to match her claws, but now I'm leaning more towards a flower pattern of some sort. Maybe something similar I did with Manos last year. Still mulling over colour choices and whatnot. Fun mini.
  22. Thanks! Big wheel is certainly... let's say expressive. Fun to paint. Skin was 'just' some thin brush strokes for highlights and some purple glazes for colour and shadows. Simple process. But credit to the unnamed sculptor it's a nice face to paint _____________ Day 1 progress on Miss Rei: Worked on skin, white shirt and hair. Hair especially is going to get some more attention tomorrow. That or I'll learn to love it overnight. Sometimes that happens I've got a little freehanding idea I want to try on the pants. If it works I'll keep the green. If not, I'll switch to yellow pants.
