Popular Post Nikodemus Posted May 3, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 Speak of the devil, or "Oni" , Katanaka Crime Boss (8ss) is done!: Just in time for tomorrow's games. You can imagine that twisting rightside banner did not want to cooperate with my freehand attempts. Took a bit of brush acrobatics to even doodle something in there. So yeah, on both sides of both banners I wrote (or attempted) the kanji for "Oni". Figured it might be her title, nickname, or something of that sort. She's not to be messed with. Freehand is very basic, but again, time constraints. I do want to figure out something a little nicer for Yan Lo and Chiaki. @Purple Mist thanks! In fairness most of my free time has gone towards painting her. So while it's only been a few days, it's been quite intensive few days. There's nothing like a looming deadline to keep the brush wet. And in a fun bit of trivia, colour scheme took considerable amount of inspiration from classic Finnish oatmeal packaging: Ditched her actual dress. When people think about "Elovena girl", many only remember blue, white & blonde 9 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted May 3, 2019 Report Share Posted May 3, 2019 ^^ Love it. Starting the month very strong. My pledge is going to be rather unambitiously the two arcanist shapeshifters to failed to paint in April. Not even considering other targets as overreaching was my downfall last month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomstick Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 April showers are being followed by...well, May showers, in my neck of the woods, so good painting weather continues I'll be doing some more Thunders odds and ends this month, mostly to make sure I'm set for MuseOn Con (which I highly recommend if you're within traveling distance from Iowa). Wanyudo, another Toakage, a Thunder Brother, an Izamu for a friend, and converting Cherri Bomb into a Samurai/Fuhatsu to fit with last month's Team RWBY Misaki. I don't have exact numbers on me at the moment, but I think that's 38ss. (Also, @Caedrus I realized upon seeing you have me as an Unknown for April that I hadn't given a monthly today between my two waves of completions last month. All told it was 45ss). 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Disaster! I've run out of black spray paint! So while i wait until i can pick one up, i thought I'd add this (pre-sprayed) piece of terrain; EDIT: Okay, one more. This is getting out of hand. :P 5 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a stop in my painting activity past month for the some reasons. But now paints arrived home and I could resume going after the scenery elements I pledged: tons of town basements and paved streets for my flexible gaming table. The pics I posted document my progress: My productivity was so intense that basements invaded my Dropfleet Commander table. It's my first time with MDF; working it with airbrushed paints and washes on the walls. I could finish the job with some pigments...... if Iill be not too lazy! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddick Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Hello there! Again is cool to see so much going on already!@Nikodemus this crime boss looks amazing!@Purple Mist this flexible table looks really promising, looking forward to see action shots of it@Boomstick my respect for you and anyone who dares to do conversions on wyrd models @Stranglelove i feel you with the Goryo... I had to let about a month pass between building the first and having the strenght of going for the second, it was so frustrating and infuriating 😕 @Athiko you have a lot of work in your hands with all those ToS minis... the bases look already great My May pledge brings the outcasts back to the table, this time is Hamelin's crew turn, and I'll paint the 3 stolen and Nix ( 3 + 8 -> 11 SS) 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nikodemus Posted May 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 Wanted to rush another Wyrd pledge in before I get stuck in with that BMG commission for a week. So here's an Ashigaru: I got myself way too wound up about having to paint armour. It's not been my preferred thing to paint lately. Saturday was mostly coming to terms with thatSunday repainted what little I had done and powered through to what you see here. Tossed some paint on. I think it turned out ok. Pretty happy, now that it's behind me. Lots of washes on this one. And with that, Yan Lo box has been started! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Franchute Posted May 6, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 @Nikodemus you're on fire with painting! I hope your tournament went well. It was a tournament wasnt it? The one for which you needed an extra crime boss? I am slowly entering the month. I've been trying rolls from greenstuffworld for the base of the mage I was supposed to paint last month. It's been my first time with such rolls. Yesterday I painted it. Here it is: 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one for which you needed an extra crime boss? Thanks! Surprising myself with quality and speed. I like the Ashigaru colour scheme enough that I'll probably just copy it on all three. Should make it trivial to finish entire Yan Lo box in a month. It was more of a casual "let's all get comfortable with 3e" type of event. But we filled three tables and got 3 games in. There were prizes. Call it what you like Everyone present had played at least a few 3e games but it's been somewhat intermittent during the open betas. I played solo Misaki 6-3 vs Lynch, 2-3 vs Nekima and 8-1 vs Dashel. Crime Boss was in every game and performed excellently. Combos so well with Misaki. I did a short writeup in page 2 of the Last Blossom thread on TT beta board if interested. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix has a very big base, and needed something to fill it up XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought either 100% realistic or realistic with a bit of spooky glow, but ethereal is an option too... I'll learn a bit more about Nix lore and make a character appropiate decision 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caedrus Posted May 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2019 Hi All! Just a quick one this morning. I've updated the Spreadsheet HERE. Could you check your details and let me know if there's anything I've missed or reported in error? Have a great one! Caedrus. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 WIP Soul Porter: Started this guy yesterday. Hoping to finish today. We'll see. Skin is done. Fur is probably done. Gonna finish the rest before I decide if I want to strengthen the dot pattern. Could glaze in a bit of sepia for some colour interest. Lots I could do but I might just rush through the little guy. Still undecided on colour scheme for Chiaki. Leaning towards some sort of floral pattern, but colours and details elude me still. Right now I want to do Yan Lo in a black & red with gold details, pale skin. Go for a classy "evil sorcerer" look. Will probably do him next if I can't think of anything for Chiaki. We're almost 1/3 done with the month, hope everyone's making progress! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchute Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Hello I definitely don't like to paint the third mini of a set of three minions. The amount of procrastination I face is amazing. Anyway I am happy that I reduced the shelve of shame a little bit. Here is my Doom Ward Oxfordian Mage. I believe I may have pledged this guy in June 2018 or thought about pledging him. I went for 'he has to be done' type of approach. That's why I didnt paint any OSL coming from between his hands as I initially thought I would. @Caedrus the mage puts me at 6ss for the month so far. Talking about the shelve of shame, I believe I pledged the next minis in December 2017. There was a challenge on A Wyrd Place at that time, where one had to paint a crew box for christmas. In the end, I only painted the totem of that box. I might try the minions now. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a really fun challenge. Did Hoffman box for a local for that. Got to play around with my new Vallejo Metal Colours. Can't remember if I did it on time thoughI recall having a bit of a burnout/break/videogames around that time. Competent work on the mage. Easily beats grey👍 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted May 9, 2019 Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 WIP update of my Barbaros: Sorry for bad quality of the pic. This time the model looks better live than in the pic: I like a lot the contrast between the acid green of the armour (a shifting colour paint) and the blue of the skin. There's till many to do and my decision to not pin the model fixing it to a tap was a great mistake: I need to dress latex gloves to grab and manipulate the model when painting it. I'm lucky the weather is till a winter one! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my own I have till to start painting minis I primed in 2017. I like a lot your Oxfordian Mage, although I think your pic is more exalting the base (it's simply perfect) rather than the figure.

Chou Posted May 10, 2019 Report Share Posted May 10, 2019 Brace yourselves, crappy pictures incoming! I wanted to share with you guys my Samael Hopkins, almost finished. For the base I'll use the Greenstuff terraint paint, this cracking paint that leaves it terrain like... the only problem with my tests so far is that if I apply it directly from the bottle the effect is very nice but too pale for my liking, so I'll have to play with inks so "brown it" a little. (it never ceases to puzzle me the hammer in his back, is like he just walks around with it waiting for a "Test your might" game to suddenly appear) Sonnia is almost done too, but that's for another update. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
