WIP February 1

A fresh and cleaned up workplace for February!

Hey guys it has been a bit quiet here before last week, more about that will be explained later this post. The most important thing is that I am back with a fresh start and I want to put some more of my live into my blogpost. Don't worry it won't be all drama about everything that is going wrong in my opinion but I want to get a little closer with my hobby activities to the readers and add a bit humor to my post. So you can aspect more of those workstation pics and some "pretend to be funny" captions. 

Alright up to the WIP part of this post because I have already been talking so long here are some pictures;

I started painting the displaybase for my goblin shaman project I have started with the grey rocks that form my little cave. nothing real special mostly big brushes work, I tried to paint it so it looks like there is less light the further you are looking in to the cave, so I started with a dark-grey-brownish color and work my way up to light grey. As you might have seen from the picture I started this post with, am I making pictures of every step that I undertake to paint this piece. And In the post(see link a bit above) where I first showed you this protect I already told you that I have taken pictures of ever step making the displaybass. So to make 1 + 1 a full step by step tutorial how to make and paint this display base will be made after I finished the project.

The other mini that was on my workstation last week is this high elf mage for my high elf army. I repainted him to fit in with my new color scheme and I am very happy with the result is wasn't a real hard or long job but one that had to be done and now my high elf army is one painted mini richer (you can see the first version here)

To continue where I have started this post with, the reason that I haven't be doing a lot of hobby related stuff last weeks has a couple of reason first of all I was very busy with school (Yes again that one excuse!) I had a lot of products to make (aka AutoCAD-drawings a couple of reports and a tender document) and I have arranged a internship that starts next Monday. 

Furthermore I have discover a new hobby, I have always love good electronic music(great to listen to while painting!) and I wanted to make some beats myself. So after trying out a demo version I have bought a program called FL-studio and now am working on a remix for a remix competition but hopefully more about that in the next week for now;

Keep on happy painting!

WIP December 1

Well it has been a while but I am back with a new WIP post for this month, as you can see I haven't made a lot progress the last three weeks. I got sick two weeks ago so could't paint for like a week and after that I had a lot of work for school and a little motivation to paint, a really bad combination! Last two days I have worked some more on sicarius his display base and it has been finished now. I went for a quit quick and dirty paint job on the base this to draw the eye to the miniature standing atop it. some more picture's;

Hope you like it & keep on happy painting!

WIP November 3

Hey guys 3th WIP post for November already(we're doing good!) and I have some more progress on Captain Sicarius for you, also there have been some little changes to the layout of the blog yesterday, I have rewritten the "about me" text and added a picture to my blog tittle(the same as I use for my profile). I hope you have seen these little changes and like them feedback about them is always welcome!

Alright up to the painting part, as you can see from the picture above I have painted some more details on Sicarius his  main body, I only have to do the golden eagle on his right shoulder... and I got some idea's for free-hands and symbols on his cloak. Talking about the cloak, as you might see I have made the inner cloak a bit brighter because it looked better in my opinion. (You can see how it looked like before here)

Just to go on about his cloak, I tried another way of painting red than I usually do on this model, I started with a dark brown base coat, blended red in to get some kind of "dark cherry red" and from that I blended my highlights to bright red. I am very happy with the result and mixing the dark brown with red also gave me new idea's about painting blood.

Last post you saw a WIP picture of  his display base, lats weekend I have added sand to the base and undercoated it. After that I dry brushed the base with P3 Greatcoat grey and old citadel codex gray to get a view on the shadows and brighter pieces, anyway it looks way better then the pre-build from last post, below are a picture and one for size compering to the model.(the wood has been covered with tape for undercoating and the painting process) 

WIP November 2

Hey guys quick WIP update for today, I am working on a display base for Sicarius and this is what I have made yesterday. (you have to do it with these phone pics :P)

Of course needs the base some sand to finish the whole thing and then we can go to the painting part, I am really looking forward to that because I want to try out some other ways of painting to make the base look more realistic.

Next update will have more eye candy I promise!
Keep on happy painting!

Making Korhil's display base

Hey guys as I told you in the last post I have finshed Korhil but he still needed a display base. Well as you can see in the picture above I used some hours today to make one. Everything was in reach and I had an idea. Hit the read more button for more pics and the story behind them.

assembling day

At the start of this weekend i made plans with my friends to do a game night in two weeks. I will be the host. Most times such nights turn into one big battle but I will try to set up a little tournament of a low point cost(something around the 1000-1200 points). while planning that I realized that i still hadn't assemble all the model for my 1000 point list so today I started hit the read more button to see what i have done.

But first something about updates, I will stop with weekly updates and update.. whenever i want that! Now i can give more updates a week or hold it quite for a longer time, that will fit better into my life and most times i do things in one day(just like today) and when the work is done i can post it immediately.

Tutorial Display base

Maybe you still remember the WIP pics of my display base, i have painted it and this is what it looks like now:

So i thought it might be fun to make a tutorial to paint this base, so don't wait and hit that read more button !

WIP display base

For a online paintingcompetition on one of the forums i have joined i decide to take my skills to the next level so a display base must be a good starting point.
I'll let you guys in expectation about the model i am going to paint but you will get a hint.. it has recently been released by GW...

So the base:

As you can see i still need to put sand on it, with a little luck i can give a update tomorrow when it has been undercoated and has some layers of paint over it..
