I’m officially an Old Man today. This year marks my 50th (!). 😅

First up is the Barrow Warden Mystic by Reaper, 03428. The rest are more figures for Myth, and another for Village Attacks. This is the very last commission I will ever take, and from now it’s just my own stuff, baby!

I’ve been taking notes and watching a lot of videos from Big Child Creatives and Angel Giraldez. I’m trying to push my contrast higher and have a greater variation of lights and darks. Priming black for the most part has helped, as has the old traditional zenithal priming. All these were taken on my painting desk with a cardboard light box and my painting lamps, on an iPhone XR. Photoshop Express and Lightroom are invaluable apps for getting your photos to look sharp. Heres a video on the subject - https://youtu.be/_LqJCbZfl3o And thanks!

Only on the top photo there of all the tokens together. The rest were traditionally painted and usually take me around 5-10 hours each.

Thanks! It was all speed painting done with Contrast, some highlights, and some dry brushing. I think that whole lot only took about an hour per model.

Not much to say except that I still paint. Until my arthritis stops me, I’ll continue to do so! I have more I still need to photograph which I will post another day. Cheers painters!

I’m not sure what this guy is called. Its from the Myth Board game expansion, Isle of Kanis, and is a mini boss. And the forum keeps merging my posts. Guess I’ll enter more later…. -
Another one for my Paint Club, and the second to last for the year. Dark and Brooding was asked for here, with everything being built over a black base. Black was used as the deepest shade for everything here, as I'm practicing 'Comic Style'. I'll be making a video on the subject once I'm a bit better with it.

Another quick one for my huge Myth commission. I think this was about 6ish hours maybe? The Myth figures are all right, if a little (maybe a lot) rough around the edges. It’s hard to get them to look as good as most of my other stuff as a result. The bigger models are much rougher in the finish than the man sized models. Which is kind of weird. Anyways.... This model will feature in a future video on the Mixing and Theory of Red.

Whats funny is that as I get older...uh....more experienced, I’ve been finding more shortcuts for everything. It used to take me weeks to paint to this level, until I came to the conclusion that I’d never get enough done before I die. Now a single model like this takes about 5 hours. It’s really just well placed dots, lines and blobs of highlight and shade. If one looks closely it’s painterly without many smooth transitions. I’ve been taking notes from Big Child Creatives.

A quick job for myself of a few hours time. Since most of my painting time is commissions of late, a quick break for myself was needed. Just two figures to go and the base box and about half of the KS extras are done. With the sequel on the way, I need to hustle my way through the rest of my pledge.
