Anum: Chain, Hyena

I highlighted the chains on Anum, and put the hyena in place. Didn't quite get it placed correctly for the chain to look exactly right, but...whatever, close enough. I suppose I could have cut the chain to make it fit. Didn't think of it.

Anum: Gold & Bits

Finished the gold bits, the collar, his club, and started the chain. I'll finish the chain next, and then make a decision on whether to put the hyena on the base and then paint it or paint it separate. Either way, I'll paint the fur around his waist at the same time.

Anum: Cloth, Gold

Did his...I'm gonna go with 'loincloth', I guess, and glued the other part on in the process. Then I did the undercoat, base, and shadow of the various gold bits he's got. I'll probably finish the jewelry and knick-knacks next; I might wait to do the fur at his waist until I'm also doing the hyena that goes on his base.

Anum: Skin, Face

Did the highlights on his skin, and then the facial details. He has such tiny little eyes, I ended up using a trick Derek Schubert taught - just use the whole eye socket as your eye. Next will be the loincloth.

Anum: Skin

Anum, the next of my Arena Rex guys. He's so far back on his base because there's a hyena that goes on there as well. I've got his skin base coated and shaded. 

3! Probably.

I think she's done! Though, I'm going to take a closer look at the bats tomorrow and see if I want to do anything more with them. 

Ivya: Fur, Bats, Ground

I finished the fur on her coat, and base coated the bats. Then, since I had a bunch of the dark brown I used on the bats left, I base coated the ground with it. I don't think I'll quite manage to finish her before February, but it'll be really soon after.

Ivya: Axe, Fur

Finished the blade of her axe, and base coated the fur. Going to have to do a lot of cleanup on the coat after I've finished the fur.

Ivya: Axe, Log

I cleaned up the areas on her skin where I slopped other colors, painted the axe and the branch she's standing on. I need to finish the axe blade. Not sure where I'll go after that; I should probably do the fur.

Ivya: Coat

Worked on her coat; it's mostly done. Probably do the axe next, and clean up the skin.

2!

 I still need to put some sealer on her. Otherwise, I'm calling it done.

Iocasta: Shield, Armor

As I said I was going to, I finished her shield, armor, and necklace. I was originally going to have the red and blue alternating on the shield and armor plates, but I thought that was going to get very busy. I think next I'll do the linen and leather straps, and then I'll have to figure out what to do with her clothing.

Iocasta: Metals

I'm still not sure what I want to do with her clothing, so I worked on the metals instead. I'll probably finish those parts before going back to the clothes.

Ivya: Fur, Coat

Got some highlights on that leg hair, and then base coated her coat and scarf. I thought when I put her together I might regret completing the build rather than keeping it in parts for easier painting, and sure enough, I'm going to have a fair bit of cleanup to do where I got dark blue on her skin. Also, that dark blue is kind of a personal challenge. It's a color that's always been hard for me. I'm also kinda concerned that the colors I chose for her legs look a little too...chicken-like. But not that concerned. 

Ivya: Skin, Face, Fur

So I shaded and highlighted her skin, did some face details, then base coated for fur on her legs. Went back and glazed some of the fur color over parts of the legs. Also did the claws on her feet. Next will probably be the skirt and jacket.

Iocasta: Skin, Hair, Clothing

Finished her skin (probably), facial details, and hair, and base coated her clothing. 

Iocasta, Ivya: Skin Base

Got a base coat of skin on Iocasta, the next Arena Rex figure, and Ivya.

1!

He looks glossy because I just put brush on sealer on him, and it hasn't finished curing yet. Also, I broke the little flag on his trident off immediately after taking these pictures. Sigh. I'll glue it back on, but it's never going to be very sturdy.

Mago: Shoulder Plate, Net, Base

Ok, I finished the shoulder plate and the net, attached the arm, put a highlight on the spear shaft, and then glued on the other two pieces of the spear. Then I got a base coat on the base, which I should have done before I glued the arm on. You can see some spots where I wasn't quite able to get the brush under the net. 

Everything was drying slowly, so that's where I stopped. I need to finished the spear and the base. I'm thinking I'll get him finished next time.

Mago: Leather, metal.

Finished the leather bits and most of the metal. Next will be paint the net in his other hand and attach the arm, finish the shoulder plate, and the shaft of the spear. He's going quick - not a ton to him, and honestly I'm aiming for 'good enough' here and not spending a ton of time on it.

Mago: Cloth, Leather. Ivya.

Worked some more on Mago, getting the cloth done and a base coat on the leather.

Also worked a bit on a new figure, this is Ivya from Games Workshop. I forgot I need to do some gap filling on her before I paint her, so I'll have to go back and do that.
