Rex has been getting still more done, but now I'm sick, so I'm falling behind and off of my self-imposed schedule.

Look at all those awesome textures!  I'm going to have to up my game with my remaining armor; maybe some highly-polished, reflective SENMM armor will give me the technical challenge I need to keep up!

I need lessons from Rex on painting bunnies! That is gorgeous!

Okay!  I've been sick this week and therefore not very good at either painting or posting, so this will be a mega-update to catch up!

 

 

First, Rex is now the very first to have finished his mini, and it is truly awesome!

Next, Tish has been adding some sweet detail to her hedgehog bard!  Now he has some pinstriped pants!

Erin has been super busy on both her kitty and the base!

And even I've managed to not be a total slacker and start painting again!  Here's how ugly the early stages of NMM look, for those who were curious.

Hopefully, by tomorrow evening, I'll have a lot better-looking SENMM.  Honestly, though, I find that the time it takes to basecoat and block out the horizon or glints takes as long or longer than it usually does for me to do all the blending, so I'm actually at least halfway done right now.

Okay, so I can't get a good photograph of it, but my SENMM is now finished!  I've done SENMM a number of times, but this is definitely my favorite attempt so far!

I'll get some better photos once I erase all the remaining white primer as it is really throwing off the contrast.  (As is the giant white painting handle!)

Wrap some black tape around the exterior of the handle to match the shadowy background? Or would that make it worse?

I usually find that one quick help for this effect is just to paint some of a ground color on the top of the cup.  But, even then, as long as almost any white is showing anywhere else (such as his primed sword blade) I still think I'll have contrast troubles.

 

But, all in all, I'm really not worried as I should be totally done with the mini in one more session and able to remove him from the cup entirely before taking much better pictures!

It was a momentous night for us as not one, but two of us finished our minis!  First up, Tish's amazing hedgehog!

 

The little guy has tons of sweet details and fun textures!

Next, it's my stalwart otter!  The camera is still robbing him of some contrast even with my full picture setup, but these are at least better than the last pics.  (And I'm vain, so there are probably more pictures than necessary :;): )
