Love the OSL🤩

Thank you! WiPs are welcome as well, so just post whatever you got😉

These are excellent! Love the portal and the OSL. You've really improved since you started posting in the forums👏 I'm no expert on NMM gold, and I think this looks really good, it's hard to belive it's your first attempt. I think you can go even darker to enhance the illusion of reflecting metal next time. If I've understood the colour theory right, you also want a slightly green hue in the darkest shadows. But I've never actually attempted it myself, so I may be wrong.

Hello, dear Wyrdos! It's me again. While I enjoyed hosting the painting challenge last year, my time for painting and follow-up just didn't work out, and sadly I had to give in to real life issues. However, one month into 2024, I feel a deep hole inside where the challenge used to be. So I am starting out a thread to post community painting progress. No time limits, no pledges, mulligans and buybacks. Just post what you paint and get friendly feedback from other painters! I have no idea if this will fly or just rot away in the forum backpages, but thought it worth a try. I'll start off with my recent nephilim:

You could always make a conversion/proxy. I made one out of a wild boar at the beginning of 3E. But you'll probably want more nephilim in a Nekima crew anyway. They're a quite keyword oriented lot.

Thought I'd just point out that if you want to play a crew led by Nekima, you'll find that you're missing her totem (new in M3E), and missing out on a free model when hiring.

See a few posts above.

As the year is approaching the end, I'll have to admit to "fumbling at the finish line". With all the stress of the holiday, life kinda took over all my spare time this december, and I had to put the challenge aside. As the interest for this challenge has been dwindling through 2023, I don't have the motivation to keep this going in 2024. If anyone feels like keeping the wheels rolling feel free to take up the torch and I'll gladly follow. But that's a lot of negative emotion from me on a day that should be optimistic and looking forwards instead of backwards. So I would like to thank everyone that's been following through the year and posting some impressive painting, both in quality and quantity. I have no intention of leaving the hobby, and have great plans for 2024. Not only do I still have a sizeable pile of shame left to paint, but there are also some interesting new stuff in store for 2024 that I'm quite eager to slap paint on and put to the table. So I wish you all a happy new year, and see you again in 2024!

Oh, no! 😱 You've been a machine for so long, I'm seriously impressed you held out this long! But you won't let such a minor detail stop you from painting and posting progress, now will you?

And here's a shot of the ol' gal where I left her back in august. Got quite a lot of work left to do if I am to submit her to another competition

Now that the Wyrd competition is over and done, and I've finally managed to eat all the leftovers from Halloween, it's time to get back to the painting challenge! But wait... I'm not done with competitions quite yet! The Cult of Paint are once again holding MPO, so I guess it's time to get that Nekima model finished! That will probably take up all my painting time until the end of the month. Enough about me... What will you fine peeps be painting this month?

As long as you're not targetting the markers or otherwise doing something to them, I don't see why they wouldn't be counted.

I'm glad you think so! The process was a complete mess🤣
