I Created Art in January!

[Morihalda]

I live! I spent January making lots of little art that piqued my interest to get back into making art frequently again!

 

I painted a friend's Heroforge mini. It's quite grainy compared to metal minis but goodness, has it gotten so much better. I also have a rough camera adding additional graininess. It's hard to see here, but the vast majority of his robes are in Leather White. Pure White was only used for the extreme highlights, like on the potion bottle. The red also has green in the shadows. I'm learning!

 

 

I painted our entire set of the Secret Weapon Tablescapes Dungeons and Mines tiles!

This was an in progress photo. I realized the moment after I packed everything perfectly back into the boxes that I didn't get a completed photo.

 

 

Some finished pieces before repacking them up. Bless this sculptor, y'all. I drybrushed my way through all this while rewatching the Office and everything looks heckin' great because of these amazing textures!

 

 

I painted the new Bones Black Owlbear. I had to give it antlers, of course! This was a fun accidental exercise in almost monochrome. It's all purple but I intentionally chose some blue purples and red purples. The darkest color used was Nightshade Purple and the brightest was Snowdrift White. There's more variation in the white but I struggle with this camera phone. I'm really liking how solid it feels but I haven't tried testing it the way they tested the original Bones at conventions. :) 

 

 

It also made for a really pretty palette!

 

 

Lastly (though it was the first in the timeline), I sewed some velvet bags for our new favorite game, The Quacks of Quedlinburg. I think it helped me get back into my art groove because I got excited about a thing, wanted to make something related to it, and already had the skills for it. I wanted it and I got it!

 

 

They're not stellar photos, but a cheap lightbox certainly brought this camera up to mediocre.

Comgrats on all the art!   Everything looks great.

 

     Having painted a couple set sounds of the Tablescapes Dungeon Mines as well, I can testify to how it loves drybrushing, and the feeling of satisfaction when your done! :)

I love the art, Fren!

Really productive January! Great stuff. I love the variety too; I'm also totally incapable of working on only one kind of project at a time, so I love to see others who multi-art...!

Oooooo, what a pretty owlbear!  You're right that the palette full of paint is pretty all on it's own, too!   

 

Also, yay you for doing stuff!  Sometimes some easy stuff is just what the doctor ordered to spark some creativity and enthusiasm.

Yes! I can't work on the same thing forever. I recently decided to give myself "art slots." I'm allowed to work on four projects at a time. It's been letting me successfully project hop without starting 800 things at the same time.

Thank you, friends!

Antlers on the Owlbear! Brilliant!

Great work, you've been productive!

Wow!  A busy and productive month.  I especially like the pouches, so soft and lush!

Love the owlbear in particular - great purples and the antlers are genius!
