21!

Finished Acerbus. That was doing his eyes, horns, and...toenails? A little bit of cleanup and adjusting of the shadows and highlights, and then the base. 

Acerbus: Airbrush

Worked on Acerbus tonight. Because he's only attached to the base by his back toes, painting him with a brush was going to be risky. Even putting primer on him started pulling him off the base. Any pressure on his front end and he's a lever, pulling loose the pin that holds him to the base.

So I used my airbrush. I don't use it much, so I'm not very good with it. I think this turned out OK. Not great, but OK. I will do some detail work on his eyes and head, do the base, and declare it good enough.

Shadowseer: Cloak Shading and Highlight

Got some shadows and highlights on the 'cloak', and based the mask and some of the bits that will be silver. Not sure about that light a base for the metal bits, but...NMM always looks a little weird until it's done. 

Shadowseer: Cloak Gradient

Put the color gradient on the cloak bits today,

Shadowseer: Leggings, Cloak

Got highlights on the black stripes on his pants, but I think I need to make them a bit lighter to match the highlights on the blue. Then I base coated the cloak. Next will be to add a gradient on the cloak bits to a pale yellow-green. 

Next Projects

Next! Here we have Acerbus, another Arena Rex figure. He's going to have to be airbrushed. He's only attached to the base by the back toes, and was starting to pull loose just from brushing on primer. These guys really love having figures that only attach to the base on one toe. 

Next, a shadowseer from Games Workshop. He looks a little weird because the blue stripes on the pants are highlighted and the black ones aren't yet.

20!

It's been a while, but I've been working on stuff. I just haven't been posting the WIP because it's the last of the Grimghast Reapers and they're the same as the last batches. Here they are, finished. I like they, they were fun to paint, and I'm glad to be done with this batch.

18!

Proximo is done! That's 18 figures and all the Arena Rex stuff I had as goals for this year, so...goals met.  Everything else I finish is extra for the year.

Proximo: Forequarters, body, base

 More work on Proximo over the last few days. Finished his forequarters, shaded the main body, and did the fur patches and some of the base. Yes, I am apparently putting off the patterning on the main body as long as possible.

Proximo: Snake Head

I've done as much as I'm going to on his snake head/neck. Next I think will be finishing the deer front quarters. The hooves are set, need to shade and highlight the legs and chest.

Proximo: Blocking Colors

This is Proximo from Arena Rex. It's meant to be the Questing Beast from Arthurian lore. I wanted to get the main colors areas selected and get the transitions done as a guide for which parts need to be shaded how, and where the leopard patterns are going to go.

17!

Finished up the Viking. Here he is, base and all.

Viking: Metals, base

Did the metal bits and started on the base. Finishing the base is all that's left.

Viking: Pants, Other Leather

 Finished the pants and did the other leather bits. I need to do the metals, and then the base.

Viking: Pants

Worked on the pants and boots. Base coated it all, got shadows and a first round of highlights on the pants. Still plenty of work to do there.

Viking: Skin, Face, Hair

Highlighted his skin, did the facial details (he has tiny eyes), and then did his hair. Next: pants. Or jewelry, I haven't decided.

Viking: Skin

Started the viking today. I based and shaded his skin. Next I'll do highlights, then his face and hair. It's been a while since I've painted a little guy.

Next Projects

Starting my next projects. This is a viking guy from Hasslefree. He has a name but I forget what it is.

And this is Proximo from Arena Rex. That base coat is...very yellow. I might see if I can tone it down. It's supposed to be a base for lion/leopard fur.

16!

Finished these guys, finally. Well, except for the spot I need to touch up on one guy's arm that I'm seeing in the picture. 

I have two left to complete the squad, but I've got something else I'm going to work on first.

Ghosts: Metals

Didn't paint at all this week because I was prepping for a rules-heavy game yesterday. Finally got back to it today. I glues the arms on the the two guys who didn't have arms yet, painted the brown bits, and mostly finished the metal. I might go back and futz with the scythe blades some. Next is highlights on the brown spots, do the arms on the two guys who just had them glued on, and then the bases.
