Glad you like them! These days I've painted bow string's, cleanes and defined their teeth, defined the warpaint on some of them and started the work on the daggers. No pics sorry. Since today We are goong to flight over to London to spend there the new year. We will come back the 4th. So we wish you all a Happy and merry new year 2016. All the best for all of you. !!

Trip to London and a little more work done.
I haven't been able to do much this mid-week a part from reading all the work the peeps around here had been able to do during these last days of 2015. But yesterday I spent some hours in our hobby and today a couple or three more so I finally finished those goblins, and also refined a bit Diva. I know they are meant to play with and that they maybe do not deserve such an amount of hours, but I got fun working on them!!
But first I want to say that London is a nice city, cold and rainy, but nice. We both came back to Barcelona with the desire to visit more things there, although we walked to almost every corner of the centre and made more than 30 Km. by feet in a couple of days ^^' Our main objective was Madamme Tussaud's wax museum at which we had a ton of fun, then we also went to Covent Garden, China town, Regent's gardens, river Thames, Big Ben and London eye (did not jump in, too expensive!!), also visited Camden and all main commercial streets and Picadilly. A combo pic will follow, just to not crowd this thread with pics not related to mini painting

From Left to right, top to bottom.... Darth Vader using his force among my wife and me. I must admit that we both resisted it pretty well xD A couple of Guinness, and our map in a pub at Covent Garden market. Big Ben amongst the rain... and Steven Spielberg with an unknown guy (me) at his side. LOL.
Now for the business things, meanwhile I was refining finishing the goblins, I increased contrast on Diva's hair and Sandra finished another miniature (the one on the right) I just helped her with the makeup <--- this sounded weird LOL:

So glad you guys had a great trip! The increased contrast in Diva's hair was a good call and I continue to adore those goblins!
Yay that Sandra's still having fun with painting. She's doing pretty well too! I can't believe I'm typing this, but I'd suggest some shading in her newest vampire's cleavage.

Glad you enjoyed it here in the Big Smoke (like New York, but far less healthy).
I would humbly suggest losing yourself (and blowing your mind) at the V&A next visit. Best thing to see in all of London.
EDIT: I realise it's bad form of me to suggest this now, once you're back home. Sorry about that.

Glad you all liked them, they are super fun to paint.
You are completely right, If she let me, I will do so, or even better I will suggest her to do it for herself ^^
No need to ask for sorry! it was a fast visit, just 2 days 100% free then one afternoon and one morning so we haven't too much time for museums (you can easily spend a full day or more in them!!) so we decided Tussaud's because Sandra would love it most. If I ever return to your city we will try to visit Victoria and Albert museum for sure.
This is always a good thing ^^
That's my favourite too, that pinkish-red and the bright green work together very well... Oh! that sounded a bit like a Vogue magazine or something.... hahahahaha

Visual aid for making a mould from a head
Thank you for passing by Demi Indeed it was very nice.
I thought this would be helpful as a reference or as a guide to those of you :glasses-cool: more into the sculpting /mould making processes:

Terrible mold lines.
I do like the multi part mold that keeps mold lines off the main part of the face, though. That's very cool, thanks for sharing.

Great work on the bobble head figures. The red knight and goblins are fantastic. Bags of character
