paint club Book Club, but for minis - Reaper Club?

[R2ED]

I couldn't find my two readily available, so i picked up two i had primed already.  I'll still find the other two, but wanted to finish something easy. 

 

I've done the minitaurs before,  but tried more flesh tone this time.  And... for the win did the non metallic metal.  Yay. 

 

 

Nmm on this one was not so good.  This was mainly drybrush.

The NMM looks good on both! You could try pushing the highlights a bit more, I think, especially on the minotaur armor. I do really like the purple on her skirt.

 

Also, funny you should say that about not having your two handy. I'm looking for the wolf now, and I could swear he was with the other monsters in the core set when I sorted through them, but I'm likely going to have to turn out all the other bags now to find him.

Update: In my infitine wisdom, I put the wolves in with the other undead in a baggie helpfully titled "Undead/nonliving" 😁

 

The unseen servant and the wolves are washed and air drying. I'll prime them when they're dry, and in the meantime work on my other in progress minis. My office is too hot to paint in right now, so I'm likely going to start in a couple hours.

@billeecatsdude!  I thought i did the same thing.  I did bags with "undead", too. That's funny.  That wolf though may have gone into the animals bags... damn my organizing failures!

Yesterday I got this troll mostly done.

Today, bookkeeper and stag. Hopefully both, but definitely one. 

 

[billeecats]

WIP bookkeeper. Got basecoats on him. 

[R2ED]

Nice color work so far. 

[billeecats]

These colors will change a bit as I work on him, but I'm happy so far! 

 

He's currently painted in all Vallejo colors and man, they are so glossy. It's all I have here though (I'm painting at a friend's place). I'll do most of my layering in Reaper colors.

More WIP. I'm home now, and working on shading and highlighting. You were right @R2ED. This guy has sooo many fiddly little bits, it's hard for me to keep my patience.

Alright.  I found both the zombie wolf and mr apparition.  Turns out i had a bag of constructs that i organized him in.  Duh.

 

He came out pretty good.  To keep his transparency i used a matte varnish and inks to get the initial layer.  Unfortunately i lost the control on the upper half, so he's opaque. But, i do like the bottom half roiling into the top half. Cool effect. 

 

 

I also had the colors out and want to try different color rocks for these Boulderkin folks.  On this one i used the blues from my Floating apparition.  He looks pretty cool. 

Not sure what rock he'd be with that color, but i still like him. 

 

 

[R2ED]

And two more...

@R2ED The blue and white smoke effect looks really neat on the unseen servant! Nice work.

 

I haven't looked closely at my boulderkin yet, but I like where you're going. I might paint them as glowing lava rocks, just to give myself a new thing to try. 

 

I finished the bookkeeper. I'm using the term finished loosely - I haven't sealed him, just in case I want to smooth out some of the sloppy work. 

 

 

[R2ED]

@billeecatsthe bookkeeper looks good, buddy.  The disapproving expression with the aristocratic hair - well done.  He looks like he's going to be taking some taxes from the poor. I also like the cloak and shirt combo.  Nice job! 

[billeecats]

Thanks, friend! 

 

Next up, unseen servant. But probably gonna have to wait a couple days until I get to him. 

[R2ED]

Got my zombie wolves done, too. I got one left that's primed, but two on a weekday was a massive accomplishment.
