Thanks guys. This weekend was busy in a non-painting way, but I got some unexpected help. My fiance, who has never painted a mini ever, got down on one of the zombies. Also, my brother, who hasn't painted in 15+ years and was never big into it to begin with, has turned into a zombie painting machine. He's done like 10 of them this weekend alone. I'll put up pics over in the thread I have in the zombicide subforum. I'll get back to the Grandmother and Artemis soon enough. This quick painting is fun, but I'm itching to finish up those two and start another challenge as a change of pace.

In getting the wings basecoated (I swear they have more surface area than the rest of the mini combined), I ran into an unexpected problem. My plan was to go with white feathers, shaded with brown instead of grey.
But with the one wing brown, I kind of like the contrast the brown provides. So I am torn between going white, or staying brown. Ideas?

The contrast is a lot sronger with the brown, could you do a pattern on the wing so you get both ?

I could - that's not a bad idea. Google Images ho!

What about incorporating the colors of her hair to tie it in with the wings.?

Man - I hate feathers. What a PITA to paint. I am going to stay light on the inside and dark on the outside, but I don't think I'm going to try and incorporate the bands.

Still gives you a nice contrast against the miniature ! Looking good

I was wondering if we would get to watch you lose your mind as you painted your way through an imitation of the multitude of patternson the hawk below.

I've been quiet, but not idle. I really need to push myself to finish the Grandmother before the 90% disease fully sets in. Friends are getting the word that I'm willing to fancy up their minis for free, and I found myself with this chap:
Yes, he's a librarian, and yes, his armor is red. I asked the owner if Blood Angels followed protocol, and he stated that they did not. Turns out they do, but who wants to paint ultra-smurfs anyways?
On an unrelated note, in a few hours Cang will become (hopefully, have to clear it with the missus) a KD KS pledge (clear the pledge, not unloading a giant resin iguana).

I may not be getting a lot better at this NMM, but at least I'm getting quicker.
After much eye rolling, sighing and general head shaking, I got the go ahead for my KD pledge. The tradeoff was no more mini purchases until at least October. But it's a fair trade, since I've now got 5! Kickstarters worth of minis coming in the next 12 months LOL

Did browns today, which was eerily similar to the NMM from yesterday. At least it made for easy touchups.
