Secret Santa: Necromancer

So, entering into the later stages of December I have had to push myself to finish this guy off.  I just have the base to complete now and he is ready to be sent off to a fellow forum member.

The book I really happy with, perhaps the little sketches could have been done a little better but the worn look I think works really well.  You can see it better in the second photo.

The skull top does look a little bland but is better in person.  It's an old GW skull and seems to lack much definition.

I'm still really happy with the red, turned out well despite almost being purple.

Hopefully before the New Year I'll have this guy done and then sent off.

Display time!

I have finally got my display cabinet sorted!  It has only been about three months, but finally I can get the dwarfs out for display.  This is all the dwarfs I have painted and based for the new look dwarf army.  I have also put on the top shelf the random minis I have painted and have with me (there are still some at the parents or need some repainting).

Slayer finished, and ended auctions

So, finally, the slayer is done.  I had a ball of a time painting him up, and he made me remember that I love to paint dwarfs and I think I'm quite good at it!  This guy was also a reminder to try new stuff - the tattoos and the banner for example - and only with practise will I improve.

Dwarf Slayer nearly there

Right, been a little while but I have slowly been working on this slayer.  I was going to avoid tattoos, but then I figured that a slayer without isn't just a slayer.  So, I added some simple designs.  I need to do freehand to improve upon it.  I might revisit it before the mini is done.  Just the base left now.

Ebay Items - Including the Blood Bowl Team!

So, I finally got around to posting this on ebay.  I am a novice at this, so the description/posting might be a bit lame.  I'm hoping it'll go for a decent amount.  I have also put some other older stuff up as well.

Here's hoping!

Cheers for any interest.  I am hoping to get more work on the slayer this weekend.

Dwarf Slayer WIP

Tonight I started on the slayer for the dwarf contest being held on Librarium Online.  I haven't painted such a lot of flesh for some time, so I was practising painting some skin and working on my blending/highlighting.  The hair was blocked in to show where it all is and work around it.  So here he is when the flesh was started.

Blood Bow Team - COMPLETED!!

THEY. ARE. FINALLY. DONE.

Yes.  As you might have guessed over this last month I have been painting up a blood bowl team to be sold off.  It has been one hell of a slog.  Too much of one really.  But they are done and I'm happy to sell them off, and I think I never want to touch yellow paint over again.  You have all seen the players before, but I'm going to put up pictures anyway, the thing to show this time are the markers.
