Popular Post Harlekin Posted January 27, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Another one done. Dead Doxy for 6 Stones. Not my best work but it is a miniature from secondary market and came with a few flaws. So, I will just leave it as it is now. Now, I just have to wait for those rats and streetlamps to arrive to finis the base. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Boomstick Posted January 30, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 January was fairly productive for me with some pieces I've been excited to do for a while. @Caedrus Finished the Snowmen Gamin for a local event, along with Vintage Pandora, nightmare Kade & Candy (sharing a base with her old metal version from the Pandora Avatar) with some of the best eyes I've ever managed, and Miss Ery just in case no one wants to allow my Beast Ganon Teddy on the table. All told, 52ss for the month. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caedrus Posted January 31, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Caedrus, reporting in! So, this month, I pretty much completed my Mercenary keyword. The theme for this keyword was that of the Replicants from Bladerunner. The mercenaries were a mix of cyborgesque (Viks, Student, Vanessa), and the flesh-and-blood (Taelor, Jake). I used Vallejo Dark Sea Blue extensively, and used the contrast of Vallejo Magenta to bring them together, visually. The end result was satisfactory. I knew they'd be desaturated, so I worked on high-highlighting to give them a bit of presence. The magenta, I think, worked well. Here they are! I've put the Viks as two Masters, so 30SS. 18SS of Ronin. 4SS of Student of Conflict. I was quite pleased with the flow of the fabric on the Student. 8SS of Vanessa Chambers. I'd never used white ink before. That stuff makes things white. 9SS of Bishop. Really happy with this one. The NMM worked quite well, I think. The sculpted rose is a bit dodgy. And now, the colourful living: 9SS of badly photographed Taelor. This one looks quite a bit better in real life. Jake was an absolute joy to paint. 5SS here. The skintones were based around Scalecolor's Indian Shadow (SC-23), and the Reaper Rosy Skin triad of paints. ...and, as a final addition, I decided to go all OSL-crazy on a Midnight Stalker. 8SS of learning here. I enjoyed this mini. Even without the light source being evident, it feels like he's under a gas-lamp, on a lonely Victorian street. Finally, this month, I created and painted two little pieces of scenery, but the big reveal for that will be later in the year! So, Caedrus claims 91SS for January! I would have liked to complete my Alt Vanessa and Alt Taelor (Miss Deed), but they can go onto the February list! I'll have a good long look at everyone's (fantastic) efforts, and give my thoughts very soon. As always, feedback is very, very welcome on my minis. Don't be shy - that's how I'll improve. Finally, I've been so happy to see some new names to the painting Challenge, and I think I must check in every day to see what new works have been added. It's inspiring, folks! Caedrus. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Engorn Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Well, here we go! First of all, minis. 12SS for the three crooligans, 4SS each. 9SS for Arrrchie and his icecream. And now... Terrain! 50SS for the masterpiece. It is huge, it is awesome, it is unique and it took me so much time, so I guess it is a masterpiece... 50SS for five focus pieces, 10SS each (each one made from scratch, runes carved, painted, decorated...) 10SS for the altar as a focus piece (it's sad that the candles are barely recognizable as candles...). 10SS for the crates (although they could seem made from resin, I made them from scratch with cofee sticks, carved the wood grain, assembled, and painted). 5SS for the strategy markers for Corrupted Ley Lines from Customeeple. So, @Caedrus, all this makes 146 soulstones for January, I guess... And, as an "extra"... I was making this pond, but somehow the water resin reacted badly with I don't know which other component and now there are a lot of white marks on the water that ruins the overall look. So, this it's not done... 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diddick Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 @bedjy all of this in 1 month is insane, specially seeing the customizations in the minis, loving the bases and sparks wrench 👏👏 @Caedrus cool scheme, it totally works, very nice osl on the stalker. @Engorn super cool colorful paintjobs, also brilliant idea for the markers, genius👌 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 @Engorn Amazing stuff! Love bases on Archie and the Crooligans, and some truly vibrant colors! And those octopus arms! 😍 Also great terrain, markers and impressive color collection. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stranglelove Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Pretty phenomenal work to start the year, guys. I finished a few of the 1988 Nightmare crew. Assembling the fish bowl mini made me use many bad words, so I had to take a break. I also received my ridiculous Bloodborne shipment and started painting them up. Really great pre-assembled minis: @Caedrus The 1988 minis plus my McCabe crew comes out to 86ss. Cheers! Have a great week, all. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Vessien Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Posting finished Fuhatsu and that's my humble contribution mini for the month done @Caedrus! =D Hope you like it and please feedback is always welcome. Great work everyone and see you in February challenge!! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted January 31, 2021 Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 @Caedrus downgrading to Totem. Hopefully I'll finish 2-3 crew boxes this year at least, but none of those are on my immediate to-do list. I'll see if I can hang on by the wing until I get some Wyrd painted again As for your Viks crew, I think magenta is the secret sauce in your chosen colour scheme. It really elevates the models that have it. Others seem plain by comparison. Nice to see Dark Sea Blue used so prominently. Lots of contributions this month. You guys rock Just a few mentions, I don't have all night unfortunately @Sphynxy TV Oh my gosh that Candy is adorable. I love that dress. @Magnus Good haul for two week's worth of painting. Keep doing squads or half squads at least somewhat consistently and you'll get your painted army. @Woody71 If I were to push Talos further, I'd look into brighter highlights, especially on the blue and green. Make 'em pop a bit more. There's a lot of metallic surfaces so painting a bit more interest into them could be worth it. Either just brown washed here 'n there to indicate grime, or pick out a few details with the green to match the otherworldy energies that power him. And simply just making shadows and highlights more pronounced on the metal will add some oomph to it. As is it's pretty uniform regardless of how lit different areas "should" be. Brass could also be balanced one the figure more. Currently it's on the base and on the hammer's pommel. Maybe pick out a few bolts or trim on the shoulders, gloves and/or hammer head. @Harlekin 5 minis, you're building up speed. I especially dig your undergraduates and Sybelle. @Vessien Good Fuhatsu. For c&c I'd like to see the highlights pushed a bit higher. Shine for the metal(?) armour and more emphasis on his face. But I'm really enjoying it as is. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post muraki Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 31, 2021 Started my cooper box. Man these models are tougher to paint than I thought they would be. Between the detail + wanting to try a slightly different color scheme than usual. So far think they've turned out ok.... So that's cooper+model 9 for 24 for the month. @Caedrus 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted February 4, 2021 Report Share Posted February 4, 2021 @Caedrus 15 SS this month. I didn't finish anything more than I showed previously, so it's just Abuela (5) and Avatar Pandora (Counts as Emissary for 10SS) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Laughing Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Forgot to show off my completed models @Caedrus. Sparks plus 3 survivors is 23ss and quite a bit more than my minion entry, but I did most of the work during 2020, so feels a bit... I'm pretty satisfied with these guys, where contrast paints worked pretty well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
