Pensfan Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) 4 days weekends are great for painting… I have some down time this weekend with a daughter feeling a bit under the weather and wanting to stay home, not to mention the rain has been coming down all week. So we decided to stay at home and paint together. Again, keeping with the “speed painting” technique of getting them on the table rather than trying to win painting contests, here are the latest Guild models finished. A trio of Witchling Stalkers. - - Up next will be Sonnia and Sam Hopkins. I hope to get them started today and finished tomorrow with the day off due to the holiday!

Draykin Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Those look realy great, how are you speed painting them? Is it mostly drybrush or some other technique? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magno Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Pretty dam good for getting them out on the tabletop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensfan Posted September 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Not a lot of drybrushing really, but instead of doing 7-8 layers of colors, blending them in, etc. For these speed painting figs I just do 3 different colors (shadow, base, highlight) and ink/wash them. The other thing I will do instead of following the folds of robs, face lines, etc exactly, I will give quick short brush strokes to give the illusion of creases, etc. From a distance, the figs look solid, up close they look a bit rough. Thanks for the compliments though! The point is to get them on the table and playing, not painting for weeks on end and never playing with them.

commandersputnik Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 The point is to get them on the table and playing, not painting for weeks on end and never playing with them. The same thought struck me too some time ago ... after noticing that i spent much, much more time at my paintstation than actually playing with the finished pieces ... changed it and had much more fun lately ... Really nice paintjob btw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pensfan Posted September 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Thanks for the comments everyone! Back to the painting desk already this morning. Trying to get Sonnia and Sam finished today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimwolf Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I like your witchlings. I think I need to adopt your strategy. I seem to spend waaaay more time painting than playing. However, that is not always a bad thing. Hope to see S & S soon. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pensfan Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thanks Grim... that is exactly why I changed my style. It is rare that I get more than 2-3 hours per week to paint, so I needed to spend that time as efficiently as possible. Thus the speed painting was born. I have Sonnia painted and based already... just trying to decide what to do with her cards. I removed the cigarette and replaced it with two cards. Right now the cards are just an off-white color. Trying to work out what to do with them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimwolf Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Cool! Im stoked to see what she looks likes with the cards added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
