Ghoulish Pickman, Einar Olafson´s Strange Aeons stuff (05/09/2013)

Those scrawny ones are oldies but goodies.

I especially love the look of pure enjoyment on the bugger eating his lunch.

Very beautifully painted minies. I am absolutely fond of the missing links and the serpent men that are much closer to what I was imagining for those creatures.

Those look very nice, einarolafson!
 

A nice touch with the different summoning counters, and as for 'Hungry Boy', well, I think enough has been said about him already....

Creepy!

And bon appetite!

I have to get some of the Scrawny Ones, I love it!

Thanks!!

Today not an agent or creature but very useful and nice to paint. It is the Crypt with Chained Coffin from Uncle Mike’s Worldwide. I have used the same green stone/crystal colour that I have used in a lot of my scenery items.





Same images but bigger on my blog. Cheers.

Oooh!
That is lovely!
 

That green stone is a top class effect.

Yea, the green was a great choice away from the standard greys.

Very very nice!

I saw this in my blog feed this morning and it's simply awesome.  Care to post up the paint recipe so I can steal...er I mean, try to emulate this look?  I've got one of these on the to-do shelf and this looks way better than what I was planning to do with it!

[supervike]

Please share your recipe for that green stone (if you have a moment)

Lovely as always.

[einarolafson]

Thanks!!

I have made a fast painting guide for the Crypt. I have used Foundry colours but you can use any other green palette from another branch. The miniature are easy to paint using drybrushing. I have started priming the miniature in black and then I have used Foundry 69B as base colour. After that I painted drybrushing with F69C some areas leaving the lower part of the crypt darker. I have highlighted the crypt as you can see in the drawings. So in the end you should have the lower parts very dark and the upper edges almost white or yellow (depending on your taste). I’ll explain sometime during the day how I paint the sculpture on the Crypt’s lid because I have done that in another way, basically as if I were painting a jewel. I hope that helps.

I really need to bite the bullet and just order the entire Foundry Paint line....I love all that I have had in the past and wow they have a range of colors unmatched and the bottles are great size for the price and seal well.

Thanks for posting that outline!
