Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Morning all, how goes the work day? (he says, lounging about enjoying his day off) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Pretty quiet today. Work wise at least. Wind is howling outside. Done much today or just being lazy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Well, it's not even 11am yet, so I'm contemplating finding breakfast and sitting at the sculpting table again until something more exciting happens! Big storm on its way then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Looks like it. Strong but hopefully not one of the really damaging ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah, that would be pretty rubbish if it ended up wrecking the place! Hmm, I can't help but think I'm getting old, when the thing I've decided to do after breakfast is clean my room. And sculpt more of course, but that's becoming my default state, I'll e doing it in my sleep soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Not too bad, yourself? I've decided to clean the blinds in my room, it's almost like I'm avoiding doing something else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Yeah, that's where I'm at with my schoolwork right now...debating getting away from my computer and just sitting with the textbook for a while. Need to also get done a couple of papers (a total between them of about 800-1k words, nothing major) and I'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteamHammer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I just hope the camera is feeling in a good mood tomorrow. So often the photo makes it look horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Cameras can be such a pain in the ass. I used to hate seeing what GW did to stuff at golden daemon, their photos were always badly colour balanced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I hear you, remember one year there were about three or four entries missing from the Aus showcase cause the photo's were too bad to use.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 You'd think they would get them right, given the massive setup they have and the amount of practice too! I painted a smoky orange oil lamp type light on a 54mm tech priest a couple of years ago, didn't go brighter than orange paint for it. And somehow their photo faded it to a pale watery yellow, they bleached it out so much! Hmm, just a bit more fibbing with this hat then I might post photos...

Mister Shine Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm currently debating picking up some Blackwater Gulch terrain to compliment my terraclips. But good lord, the price puts me off. I am unfortunately a lazy man and the thought of trying to build terrain that good looking on my own makes me a little weepy.

edonil Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I hate formatting for essays...never can figure out if I should be using footnotes, endnotes, whatever. Also doesn't help that the 'sample page' doesn't include any examples of which I should be doing. Grrr... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Ahh, seems like I'm the only one who has a fairly chilled and stress free evening. All I have to do is decide what width of dowel to get s a skeleton for Lucius! And Shine, maybe we should have a terrain day sometime, force us all to make some! (although I promise not to try and get people to help with the Kythera board I want to make...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hey, Mako! You should model one of the Gremlins as Rex Marksley from SPG. (nods) You could use him as the Judge! A cyborg Gremlin looking like the Spine. Or, if you're feeling ambitious, Rabbit. ---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ---------- (snerk) That's the pose you should use too... "then Rex taught all the jackalopes to yodel in harmony" Have him with an arm around a jackalope, both of them yodeling and a bottle of whiskey in his hand with a chain on it for his sword.

Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 *singing* Rex Marksley, finest marksman in the west... That's going to have to be the Judge now, but why couldn't he have taught pigs to yodel, it would fit the crew easier! Surely SPG would have to go in a construct crew? Which constructs are rare 3?

edonil Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 I dunno, I kinda see them as the Coryphee and Cassandra... Rabbit and The Jon as the Coryphee (they do the most motion work) and The Spine as Cassandra. ---------- Post added at 07:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:32 PM ---------- Actually, now that I think about it, I need to get a Sue and paint him up as the Spine...

Mister Shine Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Why would i NOT help with that? That sounds amazing, I'd love to make a theme board rather than my usual chunks that can be flipped around in a general style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Sue would be a perfect the Spine! But now I really want to make them for a crew! Actually sculpt them up fully... But I can't think of what the would neatly work into a crew as. Thankfully! Hmm, can I get away with a pig in fake rabbit ears and antlers as a jackalope? ---------- Post added at 12:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ---------- It was going to be a massive project, I wanted to be able to open and close it if people took an interact action at the right places... ---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:49 AM ---------- Oh holy hell, I may have overdone the thai chillies in this meal...

edonil Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 We're gonna leave along a SPG crew for now, lol. I don't have time to brainstorm, you have too many projects. I do think, however, that the fake rabbit ears and antlers would be perfect, especially if you make sure how obvious it is that he's drunk. Have him barely standing, being propped up by the piglet. You could paint on the base 'I love this jackalope' to get the joke across further, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Well I still want to do it now. Also who makes your brushes? I want some. This is what Im talking about. Wanna make it into The Star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
