Mildly embarrassed to post this on the heels of Derek's fantastic painting of his own sculpt, haha. But here's my take on his amazing mini. Derek Schubert's Tengu Rogue.

 

I straight up LOVE this mini. I was very happy with how mine turned out, to be honest. I was worried about trying to get something going with his plumage, but my initial impulse to use Nightmare Black worked out pretty well, I think. I mixed some gray in with it to highlight the beak, and I thought it worked out pretty well for me. Tried to keep the highlighting on the plumage simple. And I was hellbent to go with white for his top. But, yeah. Pretty happy with him.

 

This was my first time painting on Rust-Oleum camouflage primer (the tan version), and I was pretty stoked about how it took the paint. Only problem, really, was that it doesn't hide my mistakes as well lol.

I really like this!  I like the simplisity you have here.  The colors of the 'bird' are very realistic. I really like the eye, it caught my attention right away and made me think of a crow.  Really makes me want to bring this character to life in one of my games.  Excellent job.

I like the contrast of the dark feathers and the white shirt looks awesome!  I know people have been saying this a lot, but your painting has really been improving.  ^_^

Your color choices here are great and I really like the way your feathers turned out. I'm going to have to pick this model up at some point.

Without a word of a lie this is the second best painted version of this sculpt I have seen. ;-)

 

Seriously great work. You have done excellent highlighting on the feathers and I am seeing a progression with your work. Keep it up.

Thanks, y'all.

 

I don't know if I'm getting any better, but I at least feel I'm not getting any worse. :lol:

He looks great, and I think you did an awesome job on him!  It's actually reassuring to see what a "regular" person's paint job looks like, haha!  Good to know that this awesome sculpt still will look great even if I'm not a Derek-Schubert-level artist.

Agree with everyone else; you did an excellent job on him. You're really a lot better than you give yourself credit for.

Scare quotes necessary in this case. :unsure:

I maybe should stop talking quite like I do, lest folks think I'm fishing for compliments. I'm okay with what I do, but it pales, palely so, but I appreciate what a lot of other folks do more. ^_^

Strong work!  I especially like your subtle handling of the feathers and beak, and the look of concentration that you got in his eyes. 

Keep it up.

      Ral Partha Male Rogue from Jeff Grace
      By 72moonglum
      Good evening all!
       
      here comes another rogue, the male version of the female that I just finished a few days ago.  For both of them I did the same skin color, starting out with Olive Skin, but then the other colors I diverged. I was thinking, much unlike the earlier elves and half-elves I did, that rogues would be more chaotic and independent and wouldn't likely dress so similarly.
       
      I tried to give this guy that kind of reddish hair that you sometimes see with Afghan men on the TV, the ones that probably dye their beards.  Didn't just want a black or deep brown. Don't know if it turned out like I'd hoped, would welcome your opinions:
       

       
      And here are a few photos of them together:
       

       
      I also did different bases on them.  Upon hindsight, I probably should have done them both equally, but oh well, too late now!

      Early Modern Monster Hunters: The Plague Doctor (60058), Daschelle (44009)
      By Rigel
      Forgot to post this fellow earlier! 
      The Pathfinder line Plague Doctor, a pretty direct riff on Doctor Schnabel von Köln. Skinny and unheimlich, with a vial of GLOWING FLUID. Is it a cure? Plague tincture? Reanimation serum? Acid?  Phosphorus? Depends on the game. 


      Orrrr...maybe the luminous tonic is a Hyde Formula? 

       

      (Guest appearance by Clay Golem as Mister Hyde.)

      You know who benefits from the chaos of a pestilential epidemic? No, besides Father Nurgle? Thieves! Thieves with robust constitutions and/or amulets of health. 
      Here's my take on Daschelle, 44009, the September mini inspired by Kurff the Swift.

      Picked this guy up at a paint and take somewhere.  He was primed black and this is as far as I got without my glasses. 
       

       
      Fiddled around with him some more recently.  Experimented with some Contrast paints and various glazes.  Calling it done.

      Hello girls and guys, the slower painter in the world is back 
      Finally accomplished to paint this pompous guy, the Burgermeister. I've chose a colorful palette to reflect the opulence of the office, but also the lack of style (purple and turquoise?  why man?!?!).
      Painting the gems frames was insane... really peps: don't do that! just paint the gems  
      In the end I'm quite happy of him, hope you'll like him too:



      Every C&C is more than welcome, let me know what you would have done different or what you don't like :)
      Thanks

      Have painted up the free mini for this month. Lots of character, but not too much detail. Went for a 'goody' colour scheme.
