Separating a bee from its honey is always a risky prospect, but especially when they are giant, man-eating Titan Bees. However, when smeared with a concoction made with the pulped remains of it's larva, a person is temporarily rendered virtually invisible to the Bees. And so the Bug Thief started a thriving business stealing bee babies to make into potions, but how did she survive going into the hive in the first place? That's a mystery to be solved another day. Had a lot of fun painting this one, her bee striped fur thingy didn't come out like I hoped (and she's stuck with rather wonky eyes) but I think she ended up looking fairly decent overall. As always, any comments or criticisms are warmly received.

Just a bug I did for fun :)

These were a couple recent projects, so happy with how they came out, can’t wait til they make it to the table...I particularly like the folds on the worm.

Finished these guys up last night. Will be my Sci/Fi entry at my local Con's painting competition this weekend.

Venomthropes That I did as a Christmas gift for a good friend of mine.

Was looking for less involved miniatures to paint and to make a dent in my unpainted Bones. Decided to paint these little beetle swarms. Thanks for reading!

I didn't paint my Bones for a long time. I started yesterday with Danar and will hopefully post more Bones soon. 77030: Danar, Male Assassin

Completed my two spider swarms from Bones I. Colors were all just how I felt. After, not sure if I should've done something more simple with drybrushing and it would have turned out better? Anyways, just glad to have stuff painted.

Just an FYI/ checking if anyone else is having issues. I get forum notifications, but when I click to check, nothing loads. I can't check which posts are affected. It's only been for the last 2 hours or so (because I haven't posted much lately). using firefox 26.0

So what are your ways of keeping the painting spark alive and the creative juices flowing. I recently had about a 2 month dry spell where I literally painted nothing. Even my wife asked if I was OK as I had been painting every night for months up until that point. I'm not really sure why the 'spark' died out in my case but I do know what rekindled it at least - a move into my new hobby/reading/mancave! Having my own space in the house to do painting, listen to music or whatever has helped tremendously. Technically I share the space with my wife's knitting and book collection but she tends to like to knit/crochet while watching movies or anime so really the space is pretty much all mine! So has anyone else had a dry spell like that? How long did it last? What caused it? How did you get out of it?
