I am pledging two Performers (at 5 SS each) and two mannequins (at 4 SS each) this month for a total of 18 SS. My plan is to pair a mannequin to a performer in terms of color scheme. I still need to come up with what those schemes will be, but I like the idea of two Performer / mannequin "teams"

Looks like I am going to have to use that first mulligan after all. I didn't end up painting much this weekend, and I won't have any time this evening. At least I will be completely fresh for next month!

@Franchute thanks for checking in! Unfortunately, I've been hit with a bit of a hobby slump this month. I just haven't been much interested in anything I've tried to paint, and generally feeling unmotivated. But here are some models that I have worked on to some degree or another in the past, hopefully I can finish off at least 15 SS worth!! I'd hate to use a mulligan! Here's to hoping a relatively uninspired month (for me) will leave me recharged for May. That said, I have really enjoyed everybody's posts for this month! I have looked at most of them, at least in passing, and as usual all of you guys put forth some really great stuff!! I am sorry for not being quite so engaged this time around.

I think the OSL looks great! My only suggestion would be to make the coffin darker. The light source is very well done, but does not appear much brighter than what it is shining on. I think it would pop more against a darker coffin.

@Ishkul nice work!! I really like your whites, and you have achieved a great gore effect!

@Treehouse I had my concerns about the hair color of the second one. I did have a thought to change it completely, but the desire to just finish the project beat the desire to change the hair color. I agree that it does not quite fit, and that it does create a harsh contrast, but I think overall I like it. If nothing else, it can serve as a learning experience in color theory! @Purple Mist thank you! The second one I found really hard to get a good picture of, because she is leaning so far. Regardless of the photo, I would agree the first one does look better. Here are a few other shots for comparison.

@H4ml3t thank you very much! I'm definitely proud of these two, I think they're among my best yet. @misterfinn thank you, and I appreciate your suggestions. I did try going over and darklining both models, maybe I should try going a little darker or at least another layer or two? Definitely something I'll need to practice more I think.

I finally put the finishing touches on my Ice Dancers, for 12 SS! I don't love the basing, but I am pretty happy with the paint job. What do you guys think?

This month my pledge is the Blessed of December and the Scales of Justice for 12 SS. I started the Scales a while back and only put down about a basecoat or two, so hopefully Ill get him finished and then that will be Lady J's crew box complete! I'm also going to be finishing up with my Ice Dancers from last month.

Thank you! I want to do more with the bases eventually, but I haven't yet figured out what.
