Cleaning out mah closet!

So I\'ve got too many nice miniatures just begging to be painted. What does one do with nice miniatures? I used to like tearing them from their plastic and card prisons and cleaning them before losing interest, until I realised this is not a clever way to keep ones skill or level of fun very high on the nonexistant scale which I like to call \"My scale of fun and skill\" in which I would fail...

BUT I DIGRESS!

Oh, and I got a tripod...

Note: Had to sharpen the pictures and they\'re taken at a funny angle considering the lightsource.

I\'ve had this lying around for a while (got it from SilAx a while back) and was looking forward to painting it. I wanted really desaturated, clown-like colours that reflected the work on Kosta\'s \"Faust\" and Jeremie\'s harlequin troupe master.

I\'ve been aiming for a better feel of texture on the knight, which hasn\'t really benefitted the picture-taking process as in the clothing looks practically like it was just basecoated (not IRL) and the metals look super deep (intentional, IRL).

Sculpted the tree in sections .. UGHhh... it took about 30 minutes-2hours a day for a week (including refining the base for the knight\'s placement).

Cool stuff. I also have the bad habit of starting many projects and not finishing them. :)

:beer: here\'s to finishing!

Here here! I\'ve been fiddling with picasa to get better pics so tell me what you think.

Made little progress on Frodo, I still haven\'t finished the details and some other teeny touch-ups...

The knight is on hold until I start painting the base, which is now totally done and ready for paint. I\'m in school right now which is quite exhausting as I get home a bit before five each day and get up pretty early as well, but I did also get some work in on the gems of the Harlequin.

Quick note: the harly is going to be touched up a bit before whatever contest I can make it to next.

The metals don\'t show up too well in these pics on this next one..
