My Painting Backlog...
Well I have not talked a lot about miniature painting, but after the longish holiday break, it is really time to start getting cracking. Now I am not one to rush as I really liek to take my time, and get smooth blends, fine details, and an overall polished miniature when done, so maybe I can shoot for a couple a month, or 3 maybe if I am lucky!
On my table for imminent painting right now are the following figures:
A special "commission" for Kev White, the Sculptor for his own company, http://www.jenova.dk/hassle/front.htm, Hasslefree Miniatures. It is a Pirate style Space dwarf. Kjaran. Very cool and finely detailed mini. I will be starting right away!
Also from Hasslefree, I have a Minstrel who bares an amazing resemblance to myself to do, though I need to figure out how to convert his TINY lute into an Ibanez electric :P. Also, a couple of very scantily clad girls, namely a gymnast and a pole-dancer.... These shoudl sell okay IMO. I also want to start on several of their martial artists. The names elude me right off, but one is a cool Dragon man in a Kung Fu pose. Should be fun, and fits in nice with my current Wizardry addiction.
Another couple of projects I need to get cracking on are Workbench articles for http://www.theminiaturespage.com. These are pretty in depth and involve many step-by-step pictures, and the figures must be completed to a high level. They are a swashbuckler, and a Drow priestess from Darksword miniatures. Very finely detailed and should be fun to paint!
The last thing I REALLY need to get cooking on is another special commission that has not been started yet and it has been a year or more! It involves the use of a lot of Sculpey to create a subterranean cavern scene and will house a slew of mushroom men, and other classic Underworld dwellers, such as an Illithid (Mind Flayer) and perhaps a giant snail!
Anyways, I will be sure to post updates when I get them done! After time off from my real job, and no painting either, it is hard to get back in the groove of doing both!
