Yes, it's been a very long time. Suffice it to say, I had some serious family issues come up suddenly. Things are just now getting back to normal enough for me to pick up a brush again.
I'll get back to the projects I had in progress, but I'm starting with some easy things that I don't need to put a lot of effort into, just to get my feet wet. So, here I am, a couple sessions in on a Mindstealer Sphiranx.
Finished the merman today. Not my favorite of the merfolk, but it'll do.
I also got a little work in on set, shading his other leg.
Finished the spear, the crest, and then put additional bits and texture on his base. All I have to do now is paint the base and he'll be done.
I did not get as far as I'd have liked today, but he is coming along. I finished the leather straps and the spear haft, and started on the pointy bits of the spear. I was not sure about this guy early on, but I'm liking how he's turning out.
I finished up the highlight on the armor and base coated the leather and staff today. I'm waffling on making the spear head gold or not - I was going to, decided not to, now I'm thinking it might be better to do that than introduce another color.
I moved on to the merman's armor today. I still need to finish the highlights. I'm also still futzing with the tail. I glazed over the sides a little bit to focus the brightest highlights in the center. I think the scales still need some cleaning up in some spots.
I worked on the merman today. I did shading and highlighting on his tail and fins, and got the blue on the crest of his helmet. Happier with the colors now, though I might go back to the tail with a little more highlight.
