Thanks for digging out the other pictures, they are some truly wonderful additions to the project.
Well thought out and finished with great brushwork.

That boat is very well done too*.

I only saw this thanks to the image on the "post an image of your last game" thread. When Mason commented that it was a great thread I thought I needed to check it out. I'm very glad I did, this has been a brilliantly entertaining read with amazing ideas very well executed. Thank you for sharing it.

One of the best projects on that board!  :-*
Very inventive conversions and really nice painting on all of these miniatures and scenery.
It would be interesting to see the pictures of the whole village at once someday.

Lovely photos - the colours are wonderful.

Thank you so much guys :)

What do you mean with "I painted all three of these models with sore heels"?

it's not that visible in the photos, except maybe on the Inugami, but the feet of the three characters all have a change in tone at the back of the heel, hopefully this reads as being sore spots on their heels.  If not, it's just a nice little colour change :P


Rokurota:  Here's a little sneak peak of my Onmyoji conversion from your Shinsengumi standard bearer



so far the fabric sleeve badge and the saya that would be under his left arm have been removed meaning that I had to resculpt the side of the jacket and most of his arm, the hat has been added above his headband, his katana has been filed down into a tanto and a kansugi branch added to his hand.  I need to smooth out a few areas of sculpting and rework the front of his jacket but he's nearly ready for paint.  I can't decide if he's just a random onmyoji or perhaps he might even be Abe no Seimei (or maybe his ghost?)

Love this stuff. I get so inspired to get home and paint more samurai and now alsorts of "extras".

One question could you share with us some of the details on how you rate the figures for Ronin?

Thanks
William

Thank you mate, the Onmyoji conversion looking good!
Love your work, maybe you could make some conversions for me. ;)

Since it is a mountain setting there are a few 28mm monkey figures that might make good yamachichi. Maybe some Eureka Fantacide monkeys minus the wings and fez? Or even with the wings for added monstrousness. A scenario with them breaking in to houses to steal villagers' breath could be good?

I just discovered this amazing blog.
Can we get some photos of your different yokai and warriors?
That is if its not to much trouble.
Also where did you get all of the info about the different Yokai, demons, ghost and gods from? Or is it some thing you have researched over many years?
Ether way I love all that I have seen so far.

Here's a little more progress on the Onmyoji, he's coming along alright but man do I hate painting white cloth  >:(



Elk101- nice idea mate, I hadn't thought of yamachichi, I've got an old jokaero figure that I was planning to yokai-ize at some point.

Commissarmoody- decades of being obsessed with folklore and monsters, and ten years of travelling in Japan have just combined into what I know I guess.  Loads of books on the subject exist, but mostly in Japanese which I'm not particularly adept at reading, luckily they're packed with illustrations that're generally worth the entrance fee by themselves.  There's also a very good website called yokai.com that's a great introduction to many of the more and less common yokai.  I went to a Yokai museum in Shikoku last month, which was sweet in a quaint folksy way, but not very helpful ;)

Beautiful job on those white robes.

Yokai.com is brilliant, you can spend hours reading on it.
