Busy!

I've been so swamped, I haven't had time to update my blog. The worst part is, I didn't even remember to take photos of some of the things I've done recently and that is quite sad indeed.

So we'll just skip to what I'm doing now. The guy I did the purple marine for, with the jetpack and wing helm? I am doing up all his miniatures for this really awesome board game called "SUPER Dungeon Explore!" I am totally in love with the game and the game's pieces.

The first guy I decided to work on was the Druid guy because he was my favorite of the two I played as in our game. Also he is technically two models as he can turn into a bear, which is my next project.

First off, painting chibi anime figures is a trip. Throw out all you know about highlighting 40k minis. To make it look cartoony, you have to do most of it yourself instead of letting the different types of paints do the lions share of the work. I only used shade paints on the skin to darken up his joints and the key Sepia wash on the fur to make it look mote organic than if I'd washed it black like I usually do with white. It was a straight sepia wash twice to darken up the fur, as I'd primed the model white. I love the results.

I can't wait to do the rest of the set!
