Sadly that's true of me to only my painting moods only come every now and again. I sometimes stare at the mini willing it to paint itself.

Roughly 7-8 hours so far. He's a little over half way finished. It's time consuming because I have to stop and take pictures every 20-30 minutes where I would normally work straight through.

Oh wow, that is a very stylized painting style, like it could be lifted straight from a comic book page. Intruiging.

I'm a big fan of comics, so thank you! I think it also comes from having to paint all those Arcadia Quest models, which are bright and cheerful.

He will be getting some weathering, I just plan on doing that last.

You have some very nicely painted minis here. Cool! This latest is very smooth and you style is very appropriate for it. Keep 'em coming! Lol ;)

I haven't said t before, so I'll say it right now, that archangel is just bloody amazing... and the shading of his belt-mounted teddy bear is just mezmerising.

Worked on the base for the Archangel today. I decided to keep it simple with cork and green stuff. I sculpted the tile and made the base detachable from the display base via rare earth magnets. I'm planning on painting the tiles gold and white.

A short tutorial on skin

I'd like to try something new for everyone and make a simple tutorial every now and than for the things I am working on. Right now I am currently working on a variant sculpt for House Teknes from Wrath of Kings and stopped to take pictures of each color I used for the skin. I will post more here since it is still a WIP.
I am using Reaper Master Series paints and a size 2, 1, 3/0, and 5/0 round brush size.

The miniature primed in grey. This is a resin master, so there was minimal clean up as far as mold lines are concerned.

I lay down my first "base" skin tone. I will add in shadows and highlights on top of this. It is a mixture of Bloodstain Red and Imperial Purple in almost equal parts.

Next I add in Walnut Brown for shadows.

I use Deep Red as my first highlight color. I paint in thin layers to achieve a smooth transition as well as wet blending in places. I get asked a lot which I do where, and honestly it's hard to give a definite answer since I go back and forth between the two when I am painting.

I mix my deep red into rosy skin on my palette, working up to a rosy skin. You can see in the picture the difference between several layers of color. His face is brought up to the rosy skin while the chest still needs a few layers until it has a nice contrast.
This is roughly an hour worth of work, more to come!

Oh dear god! That looks looks like a war-Blerch, a more demonioc version of The Blerch.

Bah ha ha! That's a great comic and relatable too! I think I prefer painting the "non standard" miniatures and instead paint the grotesque and strange. I can't wait to get my hands on some of those miniatures from the Others, they're sick (and remarkably solid, we threw the Pride piece on the floor to test the plastic at work!). So right now I'm in heaven with this guy and all his fat folds ;)
