Citrine Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I agree with angrygerbil, the female caster in the middle there is very nice. That robot shark is sweet too. SEMM = Sky Earth Metallic Metal (I think) where you see reflections of the sky and the ground painted onto the mini. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

youwashock Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Those Deepwars figures, especially the center one, are fantastic. Keep up the great work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) since I like Deepwars so very much i decided to give them a little extra love. for today: Chaos Champions by Fenryll. i like this small french company and occasionally i can find a good deal on them here in the states since they are relatively unknown. when i saw this blister was going OOP, i snatched it up for $3.25. sure, they arent the best sculpts, but i think they have a sort of "pulp" charm. the models are resin and came with an integrated base that i had to carefully remove. painted in one sitting. I plan on adding a few of the chaos warrior types from the reaper KS to this group to make a nice generic band of evil warriors.

angrygerbil Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 I really really like your color saturation and flesh tones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulture Posted September 5, 2013 Author Share Posted September 5, 2013 (edited) thanks angry, these guys were a great excuse to try out some variations in skin tone (which is why each is different). now time for something fresh! taki-bi no oni - elemental terror of fire. i have recently been inspired by the legend of five rings / oriental adventures campaign setting, so i have been re-purposing minis to fill the roll of their monsters. many people thought that the feminine fire elemental from the KS was odd; i jumped for joy! taki-bi no oni are described as taking "the form of a human woman made of bright green fire." check! they also come in a lesser and greater form which often work as a pair. check! i took a look at some stats and these chicks would be fierce! nothing like a man hating/loving flying incorporeal immolating fire demon to ruin a night out. greater lesser edit: alternate photo these models are in desperate need of a re-shoot (the light today was terrible). ill update them tomorrow, i think, but enjoy the dramatic image for now. these models ended up being a bit of a hot mess. i told myself to speed paint them, but during the cleanup stage i kept fussing with them. the end result was less than satisfactory on a time to quality scale. i think my issue was that i wanted to give these ladies a top notch PJ, but forced myself to go fast instead, and the end result was neither. lesson learned. i may have to pick these up in metal at some point to give them the top notch paint these fantastic sculpts deserve. until then, they can burn in mediocrity.

youwashock Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Looks good from here. The transition from base to model looks very, very cool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffStray Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Maaaan...the lava base for those is awesome. Which sucks, because it's beyond my skill at this point and now I can't imagine painting them without that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulture Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Fresh from the painting/kitchen table! Manes from my CSM Demons and Devils rewards. these guys...er....gals.....its (?) are great/ super creepy. I'd like to get a whole swarm of them at some point. they are little dudes, and are mounted on 20mm (penny sized) bases.

vulture Posted September 14, 2013 Author Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) This week I received: Narthalyssk Forest Dragon Demons and devils kickstarter rewards Sedition wars stage 2 Deepwars mini kicker rewards ( including 2 huge sized angler fish and a mesosaur amongst other awesomeness) Forge of ice loot for a commission .... Head explodes. That is well over a years worth of painting acquired in one week. Yikes. And, since i am in a sculpting binge, nothing fresh from the table! Soooo, I'll share a commission test piece I did last month for CSM. Turned out OK in the end but I had a pretty bad scare with some frosted varnish that I had to repair. Doubt they will bite as I have no experience pricing and I gather Martin has some high standards. Lol.
