Slashhamster Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) This thread will track all of my Arcadia Quest painting. Given that I currently own the retail base game, Beyond the Grave, a few random heroes, and uh, 'lots' on pre-order from the Inferno & Masmorra campaigns, I suspect this thread will not be done anytime in the near future. These figures are so well sculpted; they are a joy to paint. So much character. Last Update (3/13/2016) -- Nibbles Monsters Goblin Archers Hammer Beastmen Troll Sisters of Pain ...more in the future... Heroes Nibbles ...more in the future...

Popular Post Slashhamster Posted August 22, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) First up is the Goblin Archers. I somewhat followed the game art, but took some liberties. Originally I was going to paint the war paint, but decided I liked them better as they were. I'm pretty happy with the way the bases came out, they blend in quite well with the playing boards: Next up before too long should be the hammer beastmen. I'm about 70% of the way done with them. After that, I may either tackle the 8 (ugh) orcs, or try a couple of heroes. Edited August 22, 2015 by Slashhamster 29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darcstaar Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Very colorful and expressive! Nice blending work too. Out of curiosity, did you add the bowstring? Or,, is it part of the sculpt? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slashhamster Posted December 3, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 3, 2015 There's been a depressing lack of painting the last few months, but finally the beastmen are done! I decided to paint them in different armor, just to add some variety. I have already started 3 other figures (the Inferno kickstarter has got me excited to get these painted again) so hopefully the next update won't take so long! 23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slashhamster Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 (edited) Finished the troll today (aka Schmetterling). I decided to try shading the red/orange with purple, and it worked very well. Unfortunately he didn't want to photo well and it's a little washed out. You can't the rich purple shadows as well as I'd like...grr! Edit: I retook the photos with a different backdrop and better light positioning, and that has helped. --- I'm considering going back and edging the bases with a dark brown instead of carrying the stones all the way down, something perhaps like this: I think it gives the figure a bit more definition, but will prevent them from seamlessly blending in with the playing boards. Any opinions? Edited December 12, 2015 by Slashhamster 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
korimar Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 I do not like the brown edging. I love your painting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
