Dog: Fur

Worked on this little guy's fur and the details on his face. He's pretty cute!

I might futz with it just a bit more, but mostly I'd say the fur is done. Bodes well for finishing him before ReaperCon.

New projects!

Yes, it's been quite a while. Due to a mix of working on a commission and various non-hobby things, I haven't been able to post anything here. But those things are done now, and I can actually post the finished commission piece. This is the 2019 ReaperCon Sophie:

Some of the other commissions I've done this year have also been published, so look for those to be added to the 2019 page over the next few days.

I'm also starting a couple new projects. This is another Dungeons and Doggies guy. I want to try to finish it before ReaperCon. Here he's got a base coat on his fur.

I'm also starting another bust. This guy doesn't have a name yet. He also still needs some gap filling and a base before I can start paint on him...I probably won't get any actual paint on him until after ReaperCon.

14!

The doggie is done!

Golden Wizard: Fur, Face, Hat, Leather

I finished off the golden's fur and his face, then moved on to the hat. I was able to also get that done, and then put a base coat on some of the leather pieces.

Next project: Golden Wizard

Next I'm working on another figure from the Dungeons & Doggies line. This is the Golden Retriever wizard, but the client who commissioned these wants him painted like a Brittany Spaniel. Here I have put in the base coat on his fur with the coloring roughed in.

13!

Finally, Zahra is done.

I think she turned out OK. Mostly I'm happy to be done with her. Note to game designers: sculpts like this are lovely, but fragile. Don't use them for your game pieces. Please.

I did manage to finish painting her without breaking anything, but if I do ever play the game with this figure I suspect it will not survive without damage.

Zahra: Gold, base, spear

Almost got Zahra done today, but not quite. Everything on the main figure is finished - the gold bits, her spear, even the base. It has also all been sealed.

I also finished, including sealer, the other part of her headpiece. I decided to wait until her other hand with the whip is painted and then glue them both on at the same time.

I'm also considering trying to fix her lean. I think it's gotten worse, and it's really starting to annoy me. However, what would be involved would be trying to shove a little putty under her foot. Doable, but can be kind of tricky and make things worse. We'll see.
