Gryphon prince/noble WiP

Here's the WiP pics of the Island of Blood prince on griphon. Trying to get it finished up because I've been procrastinating for a year or so. Just down to detail work...which tends to be the tedious part of it.

Alarielle finished!

Here are the pics of the finished model that I submitted for the quarterly painting contest. Voting starts tomorrow, winner announced in 1 week. I highly doubt I'll score in the top 3... but whatever! Just glad it's done. Next time I'm going with a larger model.

Cavalry prince/noble WiP

Some work in progress shots of my cavalry prince/noble. While I'm happy with the green, I'm not happy with the green on this particular model. My intention was to go with a blue/aqua scheme on this one, along with the bulk of the army and have my dragon princes with this color scheme. After I got done applying the green and starting with some of the highlights I realized which model I was painting and said "Awwww, shit. Oh well." Sure, I could have stripped the paint and started over, but with time a precious resource I decided to keep it.

So, the start of my prince/noble. Sorry about the blurry shot on the first pic, my hands shake every so often. Caffeine and nicotine related (I hope).

Display piece WiP again

Further progress on the display piece. Need to sand down the pillars a little, let it dry up, then base coat it, flock it, and thrn detail work. Need to wait 2-3 days for it to dry. Hopefully less than that...as it all has to be done and turned in Friday. I still feel confident I have enough time.

Display piece WiP

Started the display piece tonight. I'm soooooo over this project. I think that, if I participate in the next painting challenge, I'll just get a large model (or a full unit) instead of a single figure. Seems so much easier.

Going with a larger display piece so that I can use it for terrain possibly in future games. Or maybe not. I'll figure that out later.

I have a nagging feeling that this thing isn't going to be spectacular. Motivation dwindling, and I have 5.5 more figures to paint for the Ulthuan December challenge (yeah, I know that it's not mandatory....but I'd really like to get my army painted and participating in the monthly challenge seems to be the best motivator).

Last WIP for Everqueen

This is going to be the last WiP for Alarielle. I might do WiP for the display piece, but the figure itself just needs about 5-10 mins more work and then done!

Display piece will be... fun.
At least it's not finecast!

Started working on my prince/noble on elven steed ... even though I should knock out the griphon prince.

A bit of fluff
