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

[Padrissimus]

Love the latest 'shrooms, dragon and orcy-types.

You paint very well, good sir!

Is there anywhere I can see the photos from the first few pages of this thread? I remember being struck by that black and white painting style you used in the beginning and I would love to see the examples.

There are quite a few of the old pics on my blog. I did a group shot of the pics I think you're talking about here:

And some of the pics that were shared here should be on this page:

Thank you, there are also quite a few on WarhammerEmpire.com surprisingly. Lovely stuff.

Thank you!

Happy New Year!

First bit of fantasy painting in a while, I've gone off on a couple of unusual tangents. This is one of them, I'll post the rest in a separate update

I finally painted a pair of figures to represent our current two dogs. I had one but had been searching for the other for over a year before painting. On the left is Moji-Tater, our Corgi-Sheltie mix. He's the youngest. In the center is Cookie, a shelter rescue dog who we think may be a mix of Boxer & Border Collie. On the right is Sasha aka "Muffin Butt", another shelter dog who passed away almost 10 years ago. She was a German Shepherd-Husky mix. Cookie was the tough one to find, but since I was recently looking at D&D figures I found a pack of three dogs, one was a pointer with a pretty close body & head shape, but I had to cut off the ears and re-sculpt them to fit the real thing. (Her ears look like Doby's from Harry Potter!)

Very nice result! There is never too many animals in miniature games, I love them a lot.

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great work! 👍 🐕

Very nice.  I especially love the German shepherd.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks all!

I actually have quite a variety of animals of various types! In addition to the three dogs, I also have a couple of other former pet inspired figures. I temporarily "fostered" a stray cat (Mr. Kittah) who appeared to be a flame point Javanese. A beautiful cat full of personality, but at the time I was in architecture school, barely spent any time at my tiny efficiency apartment and felt bad for him. He found a permanent home with my (at the time) in-laws in a large house with several other cats to keep him company. I also painted my ex's ferret (a weasel familiar figure from Reaper.) Maybe I will take some pics sometime.

In the meantime, here are the real life dogs that inspired the figures in my last entry!

Cookie. Our best guess is she's a boxer-border collie mix. She was shelter dog. Forgot to mention she has also had pretty extensive surgery on her back legs, I have painted her massive scar on her rear left leg in the previous pic.

Beautiful dogs.  I still miss my lab, Casey. He was a wonderful companion. Loved playing with wrapping paper.

Both of our current dogs (the first two, Cookie and Tater) both love wrapping paper too! They are as excited as our kid is on Christmas, not as much about what they get (though they have been enjoying their new chew-bones) but because they love helping us unwrap everything!

Miscellaneous miniatures for a possible return to D&D. I'm sure I could put them to use in other games too.

These cheap Halloween spiders are one of the best miniatures investments I've made.  They paint up super quick, too.
















Flameskull from a plastic skull and some putty. Ochre jelly from hot glue.








These two undead gnoll things I just bought because I thought they looked cool.

[Pattus Magnus]

Those all look excellent! The baby beholders are so cute! I don’t remember from the lore are what stage they develop their death gaze… might be from, birth, hatching, mitosis?

[syrinx0]

Nice painting.  I love the mimic's.  The undead gnolls are rather unique. Who makes them?
