Hi all,

I seem to be in a phase of hobby right now that is focused on painting a fairly random assortment of figures...a little bit of commission work...some favors I'm doing for others...filling out a unit here or finishing one there. So as to not Bog down this forum with an individual thread for each of these small "projects" I've decided to start a general hobby thread thru which I can bore you with my ramblings.... Grin

Anyhoo...here is the first thing that I recently finished up. The John Pickford sculpt known as "Johann"


This is the second time I have painted this figure and I enjoyed it all over again...particularly the shield which is one of my favorite aspects of this figure.


Anyway...here is the pic ...more babbling can be found on the blog in my sig.

Cheers,

Blue

Re: Blue's Meandering Painitng Plog

Very nice, smooth paintwork as usual, Blue, but that shield takes it all to another level.
Sublime!

Well it's alright I spose .... if you like that sort of thing. :grin:

You can paint as random a selection of stuff as you like when you show painting of that standard.

Wow!
 
Sounds like a wonderful miniature and especially the shield. Very good this "Johann".
 
Thanks for the kind words all! They certainly help to keep me motivated. ;)

Most of you have probably seen this over in the Warband Project thread but I wanted to include this guy in this thread for comleteness.

I give you Edwin the archer



Cheers,

Blue

Supurb painting Blue. I especially like what you did with the Dwarf Wizard. I can see you really enjoyed painting that one. Can you let us in on how you did the eyes, there're very good. Did you also apply some black lining around the hands and hat?
 
Thanks DF...yeah I really did enjoy painting that wizard...once I finally settled on a color scheme...which took awhile... :?

Anyway...any black lining you see is left over from my Dark Gray primer. Obviously placing the darkest base coat for each color has to be very carefully applied to ensure that this black line is left in place. I'm sure that it has been touched up in places with a black wash...but only in places where the basecoat strayed to far across it.

As to the eyes...in this case all the credit goes to the sculptor...this figure has the most well sculpted eyes I've encountered. There is a clearly defined lid and eyeball...plus with a dwarfs exaggerated features the eyes are big enough to make painting them fairly straight forward. I attempted to give him blue iris' with a black pupil...but the pupil ended up covering up most of the blue... :cry: oh well...it looked fine so I didn't want to go back and screw it up by trying to "fix" it... :?

Cheers,

Blue
