Some drawing practice ...

I freely admit to being bad at drawing - my sister is the crazy-good (tattoo) artist of the fam - but I still like to sketch occasionally, and this is the result of some recent work. Nothing special, and I need to work on my eyes, but reasonably pleased. 

Yup, a quickie post. Should have some model pics uploaded soon, but in the meantime, you'll have to cope with my drawings.

Fantasy Allsorts ...

Image
A random selection of models, painted here-and-there between other projects. As much as I try, sometimes models lure me all too easily to paint them. On the positive side, they can act as palate cleanser when other painting gets a little mentally tedious. The first is a real grim piece from Bad Squiddo Games ; the Ghoul Matriarch. Squiddo has quite the range of ghould models - all just as beautifully horrific - and the Matriarch is the de-facto leader or figure-head of the ghoul horde. This resin model has some really nice detailing, with exposed bones, boils and a cowering male ghoul beneath her rancid foot. Nice. I went with a soft purple/violet for the skin, more to make her into a mix of ghoul and fantasy being rather than the pale sallow skin, that might suit more traditional ghouls(?) ... I know, ghouls are dead common, eh. I also made a basic ye-olde wooden sign with the Bad Squiddo logo to it, but this is for another model I was currrently painting (that'll sho...

Old West Completed Sets ...

Image
Finally finished the last few sets of Old West models from 3dBreed - printed from Stronghold Terrain . I haven't painted a huge amount of 3d-printed models before, and was pretty impressed with the quality. It really is a far cry from early prints where the layering marks were a general by-product of the process, and were a pain to smooth-out. Regardless, they are done. The sets shown are as follows:  US Marshalls Outlaws Souix Warriors (mounted) Deputies Far West Legends Set 1 Far West Legends Set 2 Voodoo Priest Gravedigger Spartan Warrior -

Pure Pulp

Image
In between painting some Cowboys and In'juns, I squeezed in a couple of models from Bad Squiddo Games , and tried something a little different with one of them. I gave Bridget the Bounty Hunter her own simple diorama. It's not pictured here (as its a pain to photograph well) but the model is covered with a small glass bell jar dome to make a more bookshelf display piece. I kept this one pretty basic; Bridget just seemed at home among the ruins of a post-apocalyptic wasteland, so odd foam chunks and some aluminium wire made for a solid base, and after some filler and sand it worked out pretty well. Continuing the adverturing, pulpy theme, I was lucky to get (as a freebie with an order) one of Bad Squiddo's new Pulp heroines. The lady pictured below is Shirley, but I saw her more as a 'Dita' and some evil agent sort, hell-bend on causing trouble for folk. Again, kept it simple here, going for a traditional auburn leather flying coat, but adding a dash of b...
