Lemures

I have been chipping away at some bigger projects: sculpting a few commissions and a few personal projects, and painting stuff for Deepwars. to break up these intense tasks I have been painting some of the smaller demons and devils from the CSM kickstarter. I find that these models are fast and easy to paint. because they are mostly nude there aren't fiddly details and the smooth contours of the sculpts help immensely to create good color transitions. below are my lemures, fun little sculpts that look very tortured and evil, just in time for Halloween. I really wanted to make them look like the  human fat and tissue I would sometimes see in the lab. The end result was convincing despite some of the more subtle detailing in the blobby parts blending in more than in would've liked.

 

over the next few days I will photograph the other little guys I have finished

Horned Devil

This was the first paint job that has been used by a studio: horned devil 2. This test piece was painted along with a second devil over the course of a few days. I am reasonably happy with the outcome. I had a near disaster towards the end when my matte varnish frosted badly. I was able to salvage the work using gloss and  matte and touching up what I couldn't fix. lesson leaned: heed the weather, shake well, and don't thin with water in this climate.
    My Demons & Devils Kickstarter loot came today and I've already started on some of the little demons. Pretty impressive haul, without a doubt, and I'm looking to getting my legions of evil ready for the game table.
My stack of minis from this year is getting daunting. I still have a few more devils coming, a good sized Deepwars haul, the last of sedition wars, and tome of horrors at the end of the year. All that loot from KS alone. Yikes! I better get painting!
