Talrashi - base WIP

Still not really in shape to paint, but at least I did some work on Talrashi's base.
I hope it will be fairy tale-ish enough when I'll finish with it;]

Not much to say here at this point, almost everything is glued in place, only few plants need to be added on the top, some touch-ups to fix some errors;]
I was going to prepare step-by-step tutorial about this base, but I'm missing few steps already, so I guess, it's gonna be normal tutorial;p

Talrashi - little mini, little update

I'm still not really fit for painting, but I managed to do some work on the mini and base.
Definitely less is done when it comes to painting, but the base requires less precision, and is more forgiving when it comes to fixing mistakes.

I'm trying to take a lot of pictures of the base, so I should be able to show you step-by-step article later (if the base will turn out as planned;p).

Talrashi - back to 'tiny' scale

With Grinder and Templar back on the WIP bench, I need to get back to 28mm scale for a while.
At this point I'm planning two 'tiny' projects, Talrashi from Red Box Games and Isabela from McVey's. 

On the photos below, first colour on girl's dress and 'family' photo with bigger uncle;]

Talrashi is a very very early WIP so far, so there is not much to say really. I just hope I still rememeber what to do with such a tiny minitatures;p
To be fair, size makes a difference;p

Little WIP update

Just as a quick update, that are two projects I'm working on now:

Red Box Games High Elf

And myserious GW piece I shouldn't really show in whole:

Both are still early WIPs so plenty of work ahead of me.
But to make the whole thing harder for me, I decided to paint both of them using different techniqes.
First one is as normal preshaded in b/w and then I'm just adding glazes of colour, finishing touches and freehands.
With the other one I'm trying new method of painting black (as you can see it's more brown than black now;p) and I'm building colours more traditional way, a lot harder for me:)

Goliath and three little ... minis:)

Check it out:)
Headless Reichdoktor Hans (Smart Max) is standing next to 3 RBG pieces.

Impressive, isn't it?

Every girl loves shopping!! part 1

And I'm no different:P

But in my case it's not only shoe shopping, but also mini shopping that makes me extremely happy.
And during last few weeks I bought so many minis, that it should keep me happy till the end of the year.

So without further delay, that's my new Treasures (at least the first bunch):

Hell baby (Maow) - so sweet I couldn't resist

Shark boy (Maow)

 Succube (JMD)

Menhom Dark Shadow (Andrea)

Volgor the Skull Hunter (Andrea)

Hopefully, soon I should be able to post short reviews and some photos of unpacked minis.

Hussar 2K!! :D

I guess everything was allready said about that event so I'm just gonna post here links to galleries and reports:
Official page
Official gallery  -  my Anton isn't that green in rl (as you can see below)
Official report
Maru's photos  - I'm that redhead btw;p
Slawol's photos 1 - award ceremony
Slawol's photos 2

From me I can only add that I had a lovely time and it was a real pleasure to meet all those people, I know from CofC, in flesh. Social side of the event (which is the most important to me) was trully awesome:)

And I was lucky enough to bring one of the beautiful golden Hussarettes home.
My Anton won gold in Large Model category, and I'm really proud of him:)

The second mini, Yrsa the Accursed wasn't  lucky enough to even get the first cut, but to be fair, she didn't really deserved it anyway.

And don't forget that next Hussar 2012 will be next October!! So make a note in you diary, and  reseve some time for that event already:)

cheers

It's been a long time:)

It's been a really long time since I posted anything here. But there is a good reason for that.

First I was on holiday in Poland (combined with Hussar 2K!!).
You know the drill while wisiting friends and family... not much time for internet activities (but plenty of time to be hangover);p

And then, after safe return home, I found out that my graphic cardwas boiling slowly for quite a long time, and I can see 'Things' on my screen that shouldn't be there.... So no processing pictures, not even using my computer for a longer period of time;/

But now everything is working again so I can post some news and photos:)

WIP - Anton the Infected is almost ready

Hi,
Just a quick post to keep you up to date with my works:)

As the title says, JMD bust is almost ready for a competition.
There are still few minor things I need to finish, but I guess, I need to focus on something else for a few days, to get a fresh look.

 And here you can see base for Yrsa. again, more or less ready.

I'm still not sure about the snow, but I definitelly need to do something with the hue of the moss. It's too warm for my liking, but on the other hand it goes well with tundra feel I'm trying to achieve.

cheers

Dodgy Drexel (Red Box Games)

Tiny little creature, but such a pleasure to paint.
