Elbows' new Fantasy Thread

This is some of the best painting I have ever seen. Amazing work! I really like your more muted colours.

Can only agree with that!

[Elbows]

If you think the painting is good...don't look at this next one!  Really...underwhelmed with these ratmen from Reaper.  Going to use them for a couple of pictures and then ditch them - will stick to the Skaven I've got painted up!

[Splod]

It's a shame you don't like them. I think they're fantastic!

[Elbows]

Been doing a bit of role-playing via Discord and it's spurred me on to try making some generic fantasy maps.  I really enjoy this kind of stuff - haven't drawn since I was in school!



May eventually try to scan some of these and post them.

Great looking maps 

[hubbabubba]

Very professional looking work, excellent.

I love making up fantasy maps when I DM'd my school D&D group, in my youth, I'd spend an inordinate  amount of time on my campaign maps. I still like to draw ones up for my fantasy projects it always helps me with the background story which is an important part of fantasy gaming/ modeling for me.

Yep, they're terrible ( ), I'll PM you my address, send them to me and I'll dispose of them for you.

Yeah, I've been drawing these at random (without assigning a story to them) mainly for role-playing...basically letting our story decide what is what.  I think I may scan and include them in my dungeon crawl game if I can weave them into the campaign.

Very nice maps. Very impressed!

[Little Odo]

Nowt wrong with those rat men - I really like them. Those maps are also something special - nice work there!

[Elbows]

Another batch of Dwarven Forge stuff.  In my blog I explain why I rate this stuff more poorly than the original stuff I've been using.



Short version?  For the bump in price, the quality has gone down in my opinion.  Still want a few more DF sets but this set included some major disappointments.

[Elbows]

Miniature painting has been a little slow here, though I've been assembling and priming some random miniatures.

Some Bones Black mercenaries and a Halfling theif in Bones Black material.  Again, okay for NPCs and some light work, but not my favourite.


A sorceress..siren(?) and a metal reproduction of the old Hero Quest Chaos Sorcerer, sent to me by a buddy.

I like the look of many of the Dreadmere sculpts and you have painted them well. I really like your painting on the sorceress and sorcerer. He reminds me of Skeletor for some reason.
