On the Table - Horrors and Flamers

Working on some Screamers and Horrors for a friend. He pulled the minis before I could finish because there were needed for a game. Learned a lot from these guys already. For example, painting flames. I divide the flames up into zones and then wet/dry blend the zones until I get something close to what I am looking for. All the while leaving deeper layers uncovered. Flames are a menace and challenging. 

Finished - Char’s Zaku

At long last this massive project is finished. I started with the head and things went quickly. I initially approached the project like I would with a mini that was much smaller, but that became quickly untenable as there was just too much surface area to paint and not enough time.

By the time I got to the body, I was thinking of painting in a much larger scope and larger areas.

The weapons and decals went a lot faster than I thought and the mini should arrive to the client today.

Flatteringly, the client wants me to do another Gundam model. 

Finished - D&D Mini Finneas

Ugh, this post got lost when I was almost done with it. Starting over.

Began with a new D&D group and that means a new mini. I picked "halfling sheep cavalry" as a concept. Took Bard as class rather than Fighter for flavor and versatility. 

Long time...

Two months and no update? Unacceptable!

I have been painting but much of it has stalled out. I am just trying to clear the painting table at this point. Working hard to finish the Char's Zaku project. I have both arms, both legs and the head finished but the torso and weapons are languishing. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel but it is a pinprick at this point.

Started work on the next installment of Dark Eldar. I had charged the client more than I needed to because I thought that I would do some slick conversions, but his assembly was so good that I just painted what he sent. I feel a little bad about that and for how long it is taking so I am going to cut him some slack on the final payment. I would not have felt good about taking money for it.

Also still need to begin work on Cranky Old Gamer's Frostgrave Warband. I don't even have details on how he wants them painted.

Then there are my projects. I am working on my Frostgrave Warband by painting Zombicide minis and taking minis out of circulation when they die in game. I have three minis on the table right now with 6 in the wings.

I am playing in two D&D games right now which accounts for some of decreased playing time. I am a miniature guy. Well, I mean I am a large person but I love minis. I have a painted mini for one character with two in the works. That character can summon different kinds of creatures and create fire effects, so I have minis for each of the creatures and Reaper walls of fire. I also have two more minis for that character in the works to represent changing gear and style. The character in the other game has a mount so there is a mounted and on foot mini to paint.

So lots to do and reduced time to do it. I don't know that I am going to take any more commissions for the foreseeable future. I have plenty of my own stuff to work on.
