The crimp beady eyed Fellow have all their green stuff done:


AND The Swamp Hag's (new title for the Old Girl) Mushrooms have their cap color sans the glowing spots:




...more later...or not.

Nala, as a photobucket user, I must warn you there's a distinct possibility that every one of your pictures in this thread may well disappear. Photobucket is now restricting third-party hosting and it seems that once enough eyeballs see your photos photobucket will now hold your account to ransom to regain the privilege of showing other people your photos.

See here for more details: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=101912.0

At the very least, if you don't store your photos elsewhere, you may wish to download the contents of your photobucket account.

Thanks for the warning, Fram. The photos should be safe for a year at least; re, I sprang for the extra $300 to upgrade.  Since I plopped down the bucks, I have had nothing but trouble with my account. It seems the more you pay the worse it gets. I'll use the year to check out alternatives.

Great colors! 

[DeafNala]

Great colors! 

Thanks, dino. I am glad you like the bright palette. I think it may be another sign of imminent senility.

[Comsquare]

Great 'shrooms and base, like allways, Al

I think it's a sign of having the wisdom and capacity to acknowledge the bright things of life!

Thanks for the kind reply, Tobias. I am happy you like them.
I'm doing the glowing spots now; SO more pics soon...probably.

That was kind of you to say, dino. I am one of those people who are always happy or, at least, appear so.
I can't get into muted shades. Colors have to sing.

[dinohunterpoa]

Colors have to sing.

I REALLY liked that! 

[DeafNala]

I REALLY liked that! 

...we are kindred spirits...you have my condolences.

The Swamp Hag's is still waiting for attention, but her base is done...for now:




...with a better look at The Mushrooms:








...AND The Eyes:


...more later...perhaps.

[DeafNala]

Maude, The Swamp Hag, is now finished barring some tinkering:








...seen here flying through the Mushroom Forest laughing maniacally...Maude thade is:








...AND the Mushrooms demanded their photos taken as well...pushy supporting cast:








...now on to some new or, perhaps, old misadventures...or not.

[DeafNala]

I made some small progress with the Spooky Woods Stage. The clay work is done on the background tress. The upper branches will get the teased out hot glue treatment & some foliage...probably:




...from the Mushroom Forest, I got the idea that the foreground pieces should go to either side to limit the view & frame the miniatures:




...I rarely learn from other Folk's mistakes, but I'm a champ at learning from my own blunders.

PS If you missed her; the finished Swamp Hag is on the preceding page...I don't want you to miss her.

[DeafNala]

AND the foliage has been added to the background trees...the foreground ones will remain dead & leafless for contrast:




The clay is almost dry enough to paint; ergo, more later today or tomorrow.
