The Bombshell Babes

With the completion of the latest Bombshell campaign, I thought it was time for as new set of group shots.

This collection of Babes gives a nice sense of all the fun character types available.

Each figure has a distinct personality, and I am looking forward to using them as character pieces in a number of different game systems.

I really enjoyed the steampunk theme gals.  I had some bases ready for other figures in that genre, and these were perfect for them!

Here's a quick view of some of those bases.

The paper foliage and object source lighting were fun touches which I couldn't resist.

But this is not the end folks, as many more Bombshell Babes are on the way!!!  As always, stay tuned.

Two heads are better than one?

I've thought about painting some Circle Oboros for myself for a while, but in the meantime, here are some Oboros hounds that are part of the massive project including all the Red Box and Mierce miniatures.  Thus, you will see this sort of Hellhound type of color scheme.

There will be a number of these included in this project.

Stay tuned for more!!

Big axe, bigger shield...

I didn't realize that this was a Reaper Miniature as I was working on him.  He was quite heavy, made of all metal.  The color scheme had to match all of the previous Mierce Miniatures figures in terms of the cloak, shield, and so on.

The fluorescent green paint is always a nice contrast to the brassy/bronze color, as underscored by the shield.

I tried to carry a bit of that type of color on the giant axe as well.

I have some fun group shots coming with this guy and some of the other snow based figures with the recent snow terrain project, so stay tuned!!!

When the wolf howls

At long last, Sitting Bull takes his place as leader of the Warrior Nation.  I changed my initial color selection to make him in line with all the other black fur/feathered characters.

It also let me play with the greenish colors and ruddy reds on the fur.

As you can see, the darker colors also created a great contrast for the  glowing weapons!

You can see more of the interplay of the olive green and blueish gray colors in these views.

This angle shows a bit of the reflected light on the underside of the chest, which I hoped would create more shape and dimension.  I also wanted it to make him see that much bigger than a 'standard' sized human figure.

This turned out to be way more fun than I originally expected, but I have to credit those color choices.  I even had a few areas of tan and flesh tone to add more depth.

I shot a few more pictures on the brown mist backdrop to show how those darker fur colors would look, as well as a way to show how much glow there was on the blue energy weapons.

She's a very Wicked Witch

Yes she is!  Very wicked indeed.  This rather naughty witch is from the Black Scorpion Miniatures line.  They have all sorts of fun figures, including a huge range of pirate figures!  Undead Pirates battling Dwarf buccaneers, even pesky goblin pirates!

You will be seeing more of those here, along with some of the western theme figures.

The base is from DragonForge design, and the foliage came from Hangar 18 and Kings Hobby and Games websites.

I thought the sheer cloth would be very fun to paint, and it was.  A tribute to Sidonia the Sorceress was intended as well.  Her dress was woven of spider silk, and it had the look of a spider's web.  

I even did a painting called Sidonia the Sorceress, which is in the 2D art section of the blog.

This figure is also available here:

The Joys of Infamy

Infamy Miniature, that is!!  I think many of you saw a previous post which discussed the artistry and quality of these miniatures.

Not only are they wonderful and amazing sculpts, which provide a number of fun painting subjects, the quality and accuracy of the final production figures is second to none.

It's so easy to prep these for painting!  Things fit together so well, and mould lines are very minimal, and not in difficult areas.

The resin material is also strong and resilient, but silky smooth as well.

I believe that the kickstarter figures are being shipped out now, or at least I have seen a number of happy folks in my facebook feed talking about them!

It's going to be a joy to paint even more of these incredible figures!!  Stay tuned. 

Prepared to destroy

This was another color test figure, exploring a few new mixes.  I made the base a long time ago as an example for something else, so it was quite handy that he fit on there so well!

It was a very bright Reaper color, called Mint Green.  It's one that I had used a few times last year, but it became set aside in the mayhem since Reapercon 2014 :-)

It makes a very interesting metal color, because it can really contrast in saturation, or color purity, from any sort of weathering or rust colors!
