MaaX's general Fantasy painting log - 28mm (some NSFW)

Painted one of the totem/pylon pieces from the Dungeons & Lasers Kickstarter stretch goals
It features carved magical symbols — I tried to make them glow with a simple OSL effect. Not fully satisfied with the result, but it was a good chance to experiment and learn. Might revisit it later.

That really is quite good - I do like the way you've done that glow effect and I may have to borrow that idea at some point. Nice Work.

[MaaX]

Thanks man! I'm glad you like it

[Little Odo]

Looks mighty fine to me. Great job.

[MaaX]

Thank you  that’s probably just my inner critic talking 

[boneio]

That's a nice glow! I'd be very happy with that.

I get what you mean about your inner critic, I think we don't look at our own work in the same way as we look at other people's.

[MaaX]

Thanks! You're totally right about that.

[snitcythedog]

Very nicely executed runes!!

[MaaX]

Thank you!

[Freddy]

Cool, I like the glowing effect!

[MaaX]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it.

Pair of prisoners from Dungeons and Laser campaign.

I was a bit nervous about painting prison stripes... I wanted that fantasy jail look without accidentally referencing anything too serious from real history. Hopefully they read more 'grim fantasy' than anything else.

[Pattus Magnus]

Great work! The stripes don’t have any serious associations for me. I’m not sure when prison uniforms were invented (19th C maybe?) but I don’t think that really matters for fantasy settings, they get the message across that these guys are on the shit list of the powers that be.

[MaaX]

Thank you! I was going for a cartoony look with these prisoners, so that's why I chose the stripes.

[Rick]

Big arrows on lighter uniforms were the first to be used in victorian times in England, USA using horizontal stripes soon after. Sadly I have only ever seen vertical stripes (rather narrower though) on prison uniforms in one place, WW2 Germany.
But they certainly do look the part of prisoners.
