Lol Grots! My brother and I primed and painted 90 Grots in one night for a tourney the next day. They came out looking like...well...Grots. Needless to say I got no praise or points for best painted army. Hahaha. I love how yours came out Demi and am looking forward to seeing it with the kan.

Wife and baby's are at her folks house for a couple of nights! Even though I am darn tired from trying to get through the chore list I still have tons of time for minis! Here is the KO'ed dread base painted:

I have fallen back in love with metallics.
Here is the base with the grot and the wire from a couple of angles:

I do need to paint the wire but that purple is really working for me.

Thanks Guys! So I lost the neat purple. I guess I could go back in and try and work it into a highlight but that sounds really hard 
Below is the first pass at photos. I think I want to go back and give that first shot a couple of different angles and maybe a better angle on the grot. And play with the white balance [groan] teh last pic has auto WB and looks a little better right? Although it also shows all the colors on the piece. I might try taking some shots at different f-stops too. I usally take pictures at 16 or 18 to get every thing in focus but on this guy it makes it look a little flat.
I need you guys to put on your big shiny criticism helmets and let me know what I can do to improve on this guy. I won't post to the gallery until the end of the month so let me know what it needs! I'll get you started: Grass? More bubbly rust? More red? More blue? Better definition between zones? Bat wings?
Crystals??? Big Blue crystals???

Ack, here is a quick progress shot on the Termies. I am having more fun than I thought I would on these guys. Tried to get shading then highlighting then freehand in the shots below.
I was getting bogged down on the freehand so I did skull decals on 2 of the targets I ended up painting on top of that. The decals got me going again. The sarge came out pretty good, I think. If you do decals get some Microsol!
Washed the termie helmets with art ink and matte medium. It was just the ticket. Not as clean as it could be but I can't be troubled to do 4 identical really nice helmets. I would rather spend my energy on the sarge.

thanks canny just got the little one to go to sleep. typing one handed. hows your new baby?
got a pretty good painting sess in today despite short notice in-law visit but then caught flak for not being quick enough to the newborn when he was crying :/
what do you think about the edge highlighting on the lighter portions? should i do more? and how do i show 'power' fists? i am kind of thinking about adding orange or green to the edge 'lights on the fists
