For this month, I will be painting three Scavengers (18SS), Marlena Webster (8SS), and something fun. Maybe a gremlin. Have a great December, everyone!

Greetings, fellow painters, and welcome to the Monthly Painting Challenge for December! Would you believe that I have had the very great pleasure of hosting the Painting Challenge for three years now? I've had some busy times, and some quieter times. With the birth of my daughter a couple of months ago, it's time for me to hand over the hosting to another forum member. Don't worry, though, I will be able to be a more active painter very soon, and you'd better believe that I will be continuing to contribute to the monthly painting challenge in 2022 and onwards! Would you like to host the Monthly Painting Challenge? My fellow painters, I won't be able to run the Challenge next year. It's going to be a crazy one for me, and if I'm honest, I haven't contributed as strongly as I would have liked in recent months (parenting will do that). So, I need to hand over that responsibility to someone. I'd REALLY hate for this Challenge to die off for lack of an organiser, so if you can set up the Monthly Challenge Thread (and hey, maybe even set an additional challenge or two), then please answer this thread and put your hand up! Everything you need to know for the Challenge is right HERE. What should be the final Challenge for my final month of hosting? I was thinking about why we paint. Yeah, we want to fight off the grey plastic tide that threatens to envelop us, and yes, we want to get better. However, the best reason for painting, if you ask me, is to have fun. The Fun Painting Challenge! For my final hosting month, I challenge you to throw off the shackles of an oppressive themed colour scheme, and painting schedule. I challenge you to paint something just for fun. Something silly, stupid, and fun. Use an unusual colour, or theme, or just a flatout goofy miniature that you've always wanted to paint, from any manufacturer! Have a fantastic December, look after yourself and your loved ones, and keep those brushes damp! Caedrus.

Check out the two little dots above the stripey cloth. That there's bum dimples! -
The OSL is a good start. This is a complicated mini, so it needs a simpler colour scheme. There's a little too much going on! -
I think the fabrics are quite pleasing, but a touch more contrast would be nice, particularly the reds. I'm thinking this was mostly contrast paints on the fabric. The base could do with some love. Overall, though, a delightful tabletop mini. -
The blending is super smooth. The skin tones are lovely, if a little healthy for a golem. Good perception of lighting, including the copper and steel NMM. I would have loved a shot of the face! -
Nice resin work. Not sure how it works, thematically, but very nicely done. The feathers are impressive, but a little in need of some colour, even if it's reflected. A great tabletop miniature. -
Lots to like here. The warm golds, browns and orange tones are a delight. Good temperature and saturation contrast, left/right. Nice basing detail. -
The desaturated skin works very well. Good backdrop choice. The blue dress probably could do with a touch more vibrancy and saturation, just to make it a focus of the overall figure. Lovely mini! -
Great to see some blues and greens on the bones. Any details that aren't bone probably needed some strong colour to get a bit of temperature contrast, but a lovely figure! -
I like the choice of white, here. I think that, conversely, some blacklining would have helped differentiate some regions. -
Super strong OSL on Mouse. The back is a little less detailed, some colour and highlighting there would be nice! -
Solid tabletop painting. Some highlights on the flesh would really sell it well, maybe some base work to provide interest? -
Creepy little miniature! A few more layers on the dress would be nice, the zenithal highlighted basecoat is just showing through a touch. -
This is a lovely figure. Some subtle cloth, nice colour choice, nice work on the scythe blade. A little more contrast would be nice, and some crimson / black on the ends of the flame, maybe. -
I think some brave OSL on the cloak, gun and clothes would have made this super vibrant. -
A nicely executed miniature. The face is very scarecrow-like! Glossy work on the bleeding flesh, too! -
Not quite dead!
-
Lots of pretty work here. I love the green variations, good detail on the cloth. I'd have loved a really close-in look! -
Lovely mini. Nice colour contrast. Very subtle skin tones. -
Nice miniature, good contrast. It reminds me of the Terry Pratchett Death and Binky. Love the black / white contrast. -
A good, unique vision for the skin suit. Some nice NMM efforts on the blades, maybe a touch more highlighting? I like the shading of the flesh with the blue grey. Very nice effect. -
Grisly, Bloody, and utterly fits the theme. Really lovely depth of shadows on the fur. You've spent some time on this! Nice work on the ribs, especially! -
Some gorgeous colours. He's remarkably tanned, even for a pirate zombie! Great brush control on the feathers and freehand. Nice perception of lighting on the musculature. -
Nice work on the cool blues. Good contrast with the warm gold tones. A nice, subtle colour scheme. I think a good backdrop would have made this photograph so much better!
