It was pointed out to me the other day that I haven’t
been updating the blog as much.
Tis a true statement.
I have been rather lax in my updates lately and I am
hoping to change that now that some major life events, which have caused some
upset in my painting schedule, are calming down. It has been a rough February and March, but I
shall not bore you with details.
I have been getting in some painting lately. Not a whole lot but some. I started in on Durgan Madhammer got about ¾ done
with him and then decided I didn't like the colors and so dunked him in some of
my favorite liquid, Super Clean, and stripped the paint off of him. Now I just need to reprimer him and start
over =)
I have been working on the largest model I own to date
and that is the Mountain King. There is
the book release event for Gargantuans at the end of April that I am going to go
to, so I want to have the Mountain King painted up for that. I have gotten his skin tone done and really, I just
did a quicky couple of layers. Base coat, wash, and then lots of drybrushing.
The detail on the skin is amazing. Cuts and scratches not to mention
musculature, so rather than have my bumbling hands muck up the awesome detail…I
just drybrushed the entire model (five or six times).
Yup, I took the cheaters way out.
I am almost done with the bottom portion of the Mtn King
that would be impossible to reach if he is glued to his base, i.e. certain areas
below the belly. Once I finish that up I
will glue him to his base and then just go on a crazy painting spree to finish
him up in short order. For that to
happen I need to put one more layer on the leather belt and then give the model
a thorough once over before I glue it down.
Just wanted to give a quick update really. More to come, more often, I promise.
