So anyone who follows my planned goals for hobbying/painting in the Speed Painting subforum knows that I don't fair very well when it comes to monthly goals; I barely got one month's goal done last year. So this year I've decided to give myself a bit of leeway: an entire year to try to complete five hobby goals from 25 possibilities. The idea was inspired from Rob Hawkins' blog, that I've sporadically read for a few years.
 

 
I've tried to tailor my card to areas in which I typically struggle yet still retain some fun, as well as to make sure that no path to victory is entirely easy for me. Given that I finished no models last year, this should still prove quite a challenge for me.
 
A couple squares are time sensitive goals. To provide myself with a bit more incentive, I've decided to incorporate some health goals into the mix should I fail to achieve them. For example, if I'm attempting the assembly of 10 model in under a week, however many models I fall short by equals a number of physical exercises. I'm looking forward to it (both the exercise and getting through some of my stash).
 
I'll do my best to post here so you all can keep me honest. Don't be afraid to ask me about my progress!

Well, while I let Devona dry, I’ll switch gears to a mini off the shelf of waiting...
 

 
The plan is for an ice ogre, with blue-gray skin.

Presenting the Chimera, a monster from the game Etherfields by Awaken Realms.
 
Not super happy with her skin, it went blotchy and all my attempts to fix it made it worse!
Despite that, I think she ended up pretty snazzy.
 
As always, any comments or criticisms are warmly received.

Hello everyone, here are pictures of the third model I entered in the Pathfinder painting contest. This is the metal version of 60009 Seoni the Sorceress sculpted by Bob Ridolfi.
The challenging part on this one was painting the tattoos and the other freehand on her clothes.
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recently finished this lovely mini from Dark Sword. Toyed with a few ideas but the winter theme ended up being the one that stuck. I wish I had had more time to spend on it but I am happy with how she turned out.
