Here is the Arcane Circle, Reaper Bones #77988. I used white ink with sorcerous mist and glacial mist on the runes and the carved inner circle. I don't think it's a good idea to cast a spell when there are cracks in the circle, though.

I used this figure for CMPA's Adventurer Challenge, and practicing chilling out on a figure instead of going detail crazy. Naturally that meant I had to try something new on it anyway. New: I put a lot of effort into her hair, and actually used it as practice for the hair on my ranger to get better hair methodology down. New: I also took a stab at NMM on armor, with mixed success. Not 100% happy, but it didn't get as much effort as the hair, and I wasn't going for perfection on that part. Same with the sword, not 100% happy, but decided to be satisfied until I try another figure. Because I couldn't resist: I decided the boots were bland, so I freehanded gladiola flowers onto her boot. Then her bra and her dagger needed flowers too. Her name is now Gladys, because she likes said flowers. The minimal effort: Skin tones. I went for a pretty basic set, didn't go crazy on this part, but for a "good enough".

So I finished my D20 Rainbow Dragon Challenge as given by @Cyradis, @Sirithiliel and @Pezler the Polychromatic. Challenge is here for those who want to join. http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/76666-the-seers-and-a-wizard-present-a-random-rainbow-dragon-challenge/ My WIP http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/76689-glitterwolf-has-accepted-the-d20-rainbow-dragon-quest/ And finally my Dragon! I choose Ebonwrath and made him a Fairy Dragon with Butterfly wings. He just landed near a wild river to smell the flowers..

The Spirit of Spring. I realized I didn't have anything painted up specifically for ReaperCon, and decided to get something worked up. Last time I entered, I got the certificate of participation. This time, I'm hoping to place bronze. I'm not stressing it too much, though. If I don't make it, I'll just ask why and keep trying.

I was heavily inspired with Malefactus work and I wanted to paint a Goblin old style and sculpt / add some mushrooms. The Goblin is from Metal Magic ( now OOP). The Mushrooms , some are sculpted ( the larger and the round ones) and the pointy ones are Resin from Ristul's Market. My WIP for those interested. http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/66981-goblin-with-mushrooms-metal-magic-by-xherman1964/?hl=bagpipe The little guy has just consumed some mushrooms for inspiration on his latest musical creation. I wonder if the other Goblins will like his music. Without further ado, the pics.

Hey! What kind of flowers does everyone use? I've seen some very nice ones and would have liked to add some to my recently completed Bladesinger. I'll probably order some for the next few projects, but was curious who's using what and are you pleased with the results? I've seen some especially nice white flowers on a few bases. So… what's the sitch?

Several people were asking about brass foliage in DKS's thread in the showoff forum. I didn't want to hijack the thread. There are several sources out there, but the one I am most familiar with is Hasslefree Minis. http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=accessories~etched-brass-%28foliage%29

Buglips posted his tid bit about Juntos and that brought to mind that with winter cleared out it's time to prep for summer landscaping. This summer marks the beginning of our second year in this house and we are going to get neck deep in changing the front of our house to something much more pleasing and not so overgrown from the previous owners. Below is a picture of the front of the house taken before we bought the place. My kids and my buddy are busy painting the front porch. Yes, before I owned it we had to paint the porch and the foundation. It saved me about $7,000 on the price of the house in the end so no complaints here. Currently, there are MANY bushes out front surrounded by sun-bleached mulch that house starlings (or a pseudo-sparrow) that feast on box elder bugs living in the walls and/or under the porch out front. Once we remove all of that shrubbery, the plan is to place two Dwarf Burning Bushes or Purpleleaf Sand Cherry Bushes (which do something similar to the burning bushes just not as red and hold their color longer) and a mix of two or three flower bushes. Especially my old one if I can find any around here again: It's such a cool looking EVERGREEN plant. It's not a typical fir style bush but it stays green all winter. Looks great. Mix those bushes in with some mulch, some wrought iron hangers for hanging plants, a variety of planters, scatter some bird houses about and we should have a rocking front landscape.
