Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 04/25/24 Mushroom & Mini-Me Mushroom Done!

The Witch & her Pumpkinhead Swain are a one-of-a-kind item! 
This is why it is great -when photo staging- to take a number of pictures from different angles and heights, to let your creation show all its character aspects!
And you know well that your picture are never boring! The more, the better! Cheers!

Thanks, Dinos. I will take more elaborate photo when I do the group of three. Group photos always seem to turn out better than the individual pics.

Now that the Voodoo Man is wrapped up, the trio is done. Here is the Voodoo Man flashing his best albeit crazed smile:










The Trio:


AND some progress on The Tree:




I also took some fancier photos, most of which are more or less in focus...more or less:
























AND the Group Photos:




 Next up will probably be Magrat's Minions...maybe.

Voodoo goblin is awesome! I can almost hear him cackling. I love that he is sticking pins into that unfortunate doll.

Thanks, Mister Frau Blucher. The Voodoo Guy is a Wyrd Gremlin: Sammy Le Croix.
The original pins he stuck in the Voodoo Dolls head were too delicate. I had to replace them with real pins
..compliments of a flannel shirt. I am happy you like him.

Another triumphantly successful trio of yours and thank you for the pictures taken from so many good angles!
All three of them have their own beauty and you have taken special care of the bases too, so that they add to the story!!!
Cheers!

Thanks for the kind reply, Dinos. I am happy you like the miniatures & their bases...I love doing bases...among other things.
I have Magrat the Trash Heap's Minions out & ready for attention. They should be next, but Sammy La Croix has me wanting
 to do some Gremlins. It makes the future rather murky...murkier is more like it.

Thinking about how things change. Now I feel happy having finished a half dozen or a little more miniatures in a month. When
I was doing historical games & later commission work, a hundred minis was not unusual to have done in a month. The enjoyment
is greater now.

I started on Mag's (Magrat The All Seeing Trash Heap) Minions again today...they were initially started last January. The first of the two Combat Shrews is done. Seen here with the rest of the Gang:










Have a good night!

[DintheDin]

Cute they are! Warm colours and the armour well done!
Cheers!

[Tungdil]

Cool additions. The combat shrews looking great.

Thanks, Dinos. I am happy you like him, particularly the metalwork. I don't have much occasion to do armor lately.
I used my watercolor/ink/metallic paint base with a new metal color: Zinc from FolkArt. I was happy with the results;
I am glad you agree.

Cool additions. The combat shrews looking great.

Thanks, Tungdil. I am glad you like them. I have other pieces from Dark Sword that I now am encouraged to paint.

[LordOdo]

So much to catch up with

I can only imagine how it would look if you'd try to get all your stuff out for a picture

How do you actually store everything? Is it all in boxes, or do you have a room where all your imaginative lands lay out, populated by all the fantastic and unique characters you have created over the years?

Storage is a problem. Most of my stuff is hidden away in boxes. The larger pieces are covered up to avoid the dust & stored in the spare room.
If I didn't post all the photos, some of it would never be seen. This is one of the reasons I give stuff away.
I have been thinking of taking photos of ALL the stuff I still have. It would take awhile, but, if The Camera was cooperative it might be pretty cool
&, possibly, impressive...or not.

[Mason]

Lovely additions, mate.
Full of wonderful character.
 

[FramFramson]

Love that Goblin... such a great job with the trio all round.

A group shot (or group shots) of everything, would be monstrously impressive.

I add my voice to this.
Meanwhile, I would be very glad to learn how you make the shading on the armor.
