Title: My 2024 painting
Post by: syrinx0 on January 23, 2024, 03:20:57 AM: Joined the Analog Hobbies painting challenge this time to attempt to get me motivated to paint in a more consistent manner in spite of real life and other health issues. So far it has been fairly successful as therapy exercises have balanced out issues due to painting, reading and other hobby related fine motor control activities.

Technically from the end of 2023...

Post by: syrinx0 on January 23, 2024, 03:23:30 AM: Finished off the very last of my Sudan figures. Poor forlorn primed figures... now painted. I don't have any army for them to lead anymore but they are painted.

My Supreme leader (CD Double Agent) & her henchmen. Team Evil's mascot is lurking in the background.
Additional terrain from the creative genius of Has.been.

All figures are from Crooked Dice. The bulk minion purchase for Danger 5 Nazi forces include two blisters of the Lizard & Human brown shirt Nazi mooks.

Title: Re: What I have been painting in 2024
Post by: mikedemana on January 23, 2024, 11:32:10 PM: I love those lizard men. I was thinking when I first saw the picture - what humans would team up with lizard people? Ahh, of course! Nazis..."I hate Nazis!" lol

Post by: syrinx0 on January 24, 2024, 12:51:49 AM: Nazi's are great bad guys for pulp. They can turn up anywhere... lol

The eclectic mix is partially due to my participation in a winter painting challenge at Analog Hobbies blog. Included in the challenge is a interesting theme generator (this year it's a library) that gives extra points if you paint figures that match the theme. Your points goal is what you set and the points really don't have any purpose other than self motivation. That said it is fairly effective as I am trying to complete most of the library sections. lol

Lots of interesting stuff is posted daily.

The face of this cast or sculpt was a little off so went with more of an undead ghostly look for her

I actually made some scenery. Cthulhu like statues on columns for a pulp/horror game I hope to game in the near future. And no, the statues will not really be just statues. That's where all those bodies came from to feed the flowers.

I really liked Dr Mathias maidens so followed his suggestions. Two of them were a cool white and two were a warmer white with the scarves being the opposite. Base primer white, Vallejo white, then multiple layers of a thinned Ivory/White or ProAcrylic Blue White. I chickened out on these and did not try to get more flesh tones showing like Matt did.
