Is he doing an Ian Anderson (of Jethro Tull) stage pose? But with a skull-topped wand instead of a flute?

Based upon GW at the time I wouldn't be surprised at all if that was the inspiration.

Nice painting as usual!

A bit behind in posting, but Deadcember started strong (for all of two or three days), then stalled as the real world of work/career swiped away all my free time again...




The remainder of my Deadcember plans. A bit optimistic since I just got back from another unexpected work trip. 



Two dragons, undead Lemmy, 25 armored skeleton spear, and as many cavalry as I can repair & paint by the end of the year.

..small?


No, not that.. what's the opposite of small?

[ZeroTwentythree]

...and done.

Big boney dragon done. The gravestone is on a magnetized 20mm base, and can be removed and replaced with other figures... Like the Undead Lenny I'm working on next.

Nice. I love skeletons how quick they can be painted but how good it still looks when you do so. Love the work on the basing as well. Interesting but not overshadowing the dragon. Is that a reaper one?

[Padrissimus]

I like how you can see its cute little babies behind it!

[Mallo]

Superb collection of boney creatures!

Yes, Reaper from the last Bones KS. (As are all the smaller creatures in the background -- posted earlier this month.) My first thought was actually to go crazy with terrain & details on the base, but ended up trying to keep it toned toned down. All of that stone was integral to the figure. I did build up the base & texture over some of the stone to try to reduce it's impact. With the dragon being so monotone, I didn't want to overwhelm it.


Just finished Undead Lemmy from Diehard Miniatures. Difficult miniatuere to photograph since I mostly painted him with a variety (hues?) of black.




And here he is with And here he is in the magnetized spot with the dragon. I'll need to come up with a name for the dragon... likely lift one from a song lyric of title! (Not a great photo either, got a mix of light temperatures and couldn't correct it in my photo app...)

That guitar looks great, love the varnished wood effect!

Thanks!

Yes, you nailed it. Well done.

Goat riding hobbit sorceress, from Westfalia. Another difficult figure to photograph!
