What Are You Painting Now?

@clansmen I think you should stick with the brown. I think it harmonizes better with the flame colors and is easier to highlight and work with.  The brown contrasted with the pale skin works, but I’m concerned that black would be jarring contrasted with the pale skin.

I think you should keep the skin the color it is, and maybe consider pale blue (woad) thin line tribal-like tattoos.

@enginseer thanks i was thinking of a a woad/ tribal design.  will leave it brown and think more on the tattoos 🙂

@lawnor very cool effects on your training pieces. May I ask what kind of course you’re taking and if you’re happy with it?

The first of my fire goblin experimenting is “Magbag’s Gitz” from Shadespire. Namely because I wanted to do squigs early on…

@shingen Pascal Rooze is running a class on the MonkeysWithFire twitch stream for 3 Mondays through October and November.  The first class was last Monday.  you should still be able to find it on Twitch, but he will be editing it and uploading it to his Youtube channel very soon.  I think he’s had some technical issues otherwise it would have appeared by now normally.

They’re running a class in how to paint female faces at bust type scales.  Anyone can watch, but there were 20 tickets sold at £5 +p&p.  A ticket got you the 3 Instar paints used for the skin tone and a pot of Water+, a brush from Gamenvy, and the head from the Sunshine Miniatures Victoria bust.  You also get feedback and advice from Pascal if you need it.

The entire thing is taking place on Twitch so its a paint along at home at your own pace kind of class, which I really like.  I really don’t know if I could cope painting away from my desk without access to my supplies, and I think I might hate having to paint at someone else’s short timetable.  I didn’t paint during the live stream.  I wanted to understand what I was doing before I started.  Being able to pause and rewind the class while I am following it is amazingly helpful.

So far the class has been really good.   He’s talked us through the theory and what he plans on doing before he picked up a brush, and then slowly walked us through every step.  The only niggles I have is that occasionally his palette was of screen just enough that I couldn’t tell what paint he had put on his brush for some brief moments.  He also ended up with more colours/shades mixed up than I had wells in my palette because he was using a wet palette.

This is the first time MWF has run a class like this, but I believe the plan is that if it goes over well they will do more.  I’m impressed with the results Pascal has gotten from me so far so I’m super keen to sign up for any more classes they do.  Even without the tuition, £5 for all those supplies is super good value.  Next class is 4th November, I think, and we continue work on the flesh, and then I think we paint the hair and eyes too.  Not really sure what to do with the head when I’m done.  I could use a mini plinth for it, I suppose.

The smallest contribution of the week, both in size and effort – 10mm Pendraken legionary. Just a test piece really to see what it would taken to paint at this scale as I am still undecided about whether to fo 10 or 15mm for my KoW Historical project.

Finally managed to pick up a paintbrush after about 5 months of doing nothing and finished off my Eschers for Necromunda.

Thank you for info @lawnor, that sounds great, and your shades on that face look amazing.

For a fiver all those goods you’ve received are really good value, and they supposedly are only extra to the tutoring, I guess I need to check twitch now.

Over the weekend I finished the clones half of the new legion starter. This was done for my FLGS’ demo of the game.

Orkacron “For a time, I considered sparing your wretched little planet Terra. But now, you shall witness… its DISMEMBERMENT!” Been working on this scratchbuild for Orktober to go with my ork fleet. Came out pretty good considering I started with a ball of polystyrene ?

Great work. I knew exactly what it was the moment I saw it.
