Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: undead & spooky stuff)

[Dr. The Viking]

Wow this thread just keeps on giving!

Brilliant stuff!

[von Lucky]

Nice output. Touching up can sometimes be the same effort as you try to match colour/style.

[beefcake]

Very cool. This thread moves from strength to strength!

[DeafNala]

You did an OUTSTANDING job on the Mushrooms...GREAT color choices. The other Beasties are of equally high quality. VERY WELL DONE!

On the centipede's eyes: the human like eyes add a surrealist touch to the Beasty. These are fantasy miniatures & should be fantastic in appearance....all centipedes of greater than 6' in length should have human eyes.

[Arundel]

I always love looking at your work, Zero. My recent favourites are the mushrooms--they look absolutely great!

[Vermis]

You say you haven't much done, but from my POV you're a machine. Nice job on all the newer minis.

[Hobgoblin]

....all centipedes of greater than 6' in length should have human eyes.

Brilliant! 
(As are the Fomorians and the rest)

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks everybody!

You say you haven't much done, but from my POV you're a machine. Nice job on all the newer minis.

I think it's a matter of perspective -- and mine may be a bit skewed. For a long time I've been used to being able to spend significant time on a hobby project if my mind is fired up about it. I could come home from work, grab a quick bite to eat and then spend the entire evening painting. But the past few years things have changed so much that I'm scraping by with whatever time I can muster, exchanging sleep for painting, etc. I've also sacrificed a lot of the time/quality I would have previously put into projects, in favor of speedy shortcuts. I suppose I shouldn't complain as much as I do -- it could be much worse!

Speaking of time, I unexpectedly had some this weekend...



I enjoyed the March painting challenge, and although I didn't actually paint anything, the idea of Deadcember was one I could get behind if I had the time.

So April... I'm just making this one up, since I can't really work "giants" into any amusing wordplay involving a month, nor does anything come to mind for a good April theme, other than the Fellowship of the Ring ("Fly you fools!") -- which I don't have any plans for. So giants it is. This may be a one man Big April Challenge.



I just spent a bit of time cleaning my favored victims subjects. From left to right, Warploque, Marauder, and Ultraforge.

I didn't expect to have any spare time this weekend, so getting to work on these was a pleasant surprise. It looks like I may have another spare hour or two, so I may either clean up the Reaper Colossal Skeleton as well and/or start assembling these.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Quick assembly. Still need to do some gap filling in a few spots.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Broccoli Walkoli... Menace or ally? Sentient chaos vegetation, or nature fighting back? Who can tell...

[von Lucky]

I've just realised DeafNala is a comic book super villian who has infected another victim with MADNESS!

[DeafNala]

The Giants look promising AND the Broccoli is BRILLIANT...what a GREAT IDEA! At LordB's suggestion, I'm thinking of doing some Undead Peanuts. The Broccoli is something that I may have to explore as well....a Living Impaired Asparagus Spear would be cool as well. WONDERFUL WORK!

[ZeroTwentythree]

 

Haha. Thanks. The thought of a vegetable based army had crossed my mind, though it's unlikely to happen.





I went with the easy giant first. The Big Bone. Maybe it's for the sense of accomplishment -- first giant done by the end of the first week. Mostly done. I still might make a few touch-ups. The Marauder Giant is next!

[beefcake]

Cool. Nice work. I didn't know how big that giant really was.

[von Lucky]

Yeah, and makes you realise how big the other ones are!
