H4ml3t Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 So I hit my pledge early in the month before going to Origins which was great because I got good use out of Angelica and the Ice Dancers while there. This past week I've mostly been recovering from the trip but I got a little bit of hobby time in assembling Carlos Vasquez and working on some new terrain. I'm hoping to finish 3 Metal Gamin by Friday and finish the month strong. We'll see how the week goes... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just got back into Kaeris recently. How is the model? Not too hard to assemble and I love the dynamic pose. My only concern is that the only thing touching the base is the swirl of flame from the torch in his left hand meaning the joint where his left arm and shoulder meet is supporting the weight of the rest of the model. I got a solid bond but it still makes me worry. Historically I've had poor success in painting flame effects but I have a new plan and I'm looking forward to trying it.

What I've done that is NOT HARD and looks fairly well is: 1) Paint the whole thing a medium red 2) wash it with a white 3) wash it with yellow once that's dried 4) drybrush on a darker red on the highest points 5) put some dark grey or black on the farthest reaches if it's supposed to be a smoky fire Don't forget to splash a bit of yellow on nearby skin for a nice OSL effect. Gods, I forgot how bad my camera was when I took these battletech images. Oh well, the basic idea shows up well enough. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted June 27, 2017 Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 June has been a difficult month for me work and health-wise. Still, I managed to paint these for a total of 26 soulstones. Big Jake was meant to be my entry in the ongoing painting competition but I got snowed under with work and I missed the deadline... More pictures (less blurry ) can be found on my blog. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 @Joachim, I really like how you painted wings of your Will o' the Wisps as those of a Monarch Butterfly. Would you mind if I used your idea for my Will o' the Wisps, please? I came up with few ideas myself but they are all inferior to yours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offcourse it's ok, under the condition that when they're finished you share your work . Great to know that it inspired you.

klatschi Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 What a stressful month, but I managed to finish a lot of Ressurectionists, but of course, again, I had to change my goals mid-month due to work Madame Sybelle - 8 SS 3 Rotten Belles - 15 SS Flesh Construct - 6 SS Carrion Effigy - 4 SS Carrion Emissary - 10 SS 2 Crooligans - 8 SS summing up to a total of 51 SS 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamfanboy Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 @RikLok, is Iggy sealed? Because the fire... is... well... wrong. Fire goes from lightest to darkest, with the lightest part INSIDE, and the outside being the darkest. You've got it inversed, and it doesn't really look like fire as much as just reddish-orange tentacles. I know, it's an odd thing to complain about, but it's such an easy thing to get right that when I see it wrong it just... gripes me a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoylentRobot Posted June 29, 2017 Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Theyre a little rushed, but done! 3 Illuminated, 7ss each, for 21ss. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joachim Posted June 29, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 29, 2017 Hello guys, I was able to finish these wips up just in time. I only managed to do one gator. I had a lot of fun painting these guys and they're great models. So that makes 3 wisps and a gator = 14ss. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MunkyMuddFace Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 June has been a really busy month. I finished my pledge, but not quite to the standard that I like. June pledge group shot: Crooligans! Philip and the Nanny! Madame Sybelle! Necrotic Machine! So that looks like a total of 26SS for the month (8 for P&N, 8 for Sybelle, 4 x 2 for Crooligans, 2 for necrotic machine). Next month I think I am going to take it easy with my pledge and just go with two models - the Viks! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hey, I had already posted 4 guild hounds and a poison gamin. Today I'd like to show two metal gamins and a canine remains: This would be a total of 29 soulstones for the month so far. I'll try tomorrow to finish the two poison gamins I had announced at the begining of the month, but nothing promised! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
