Cool mini shaping up nicely, Skel! That fixed gaze you pulled off should offer some interesting potential when it comes time to build a base or scene for him.

Looks like I missed your post showing the duel complete. Great scene and painting, Skel! I'm curious to see what you do with this new one too.

long time no update i kind of lost it when it comes to updating and documenting my wip work, or even hang out on forums/fb sites for that matter. but i think my krootox is done now has been a bit back and forth trying to finish this piece, in between ive painted some other demonhost dude i might show images of soonish, or after next weekend.

here's a picture

My god this is a gorgeous piece Stef, I love it. The contrast is exquisite as is the difference in texture with the different metals.
that base is probably one of the lushest green bases I have ever seen.
i applauded you're already mighty talent.

Stefan,

There is absolutely no reason that with successes like this, you shouldn't be making some quality income from your talents. Now, I know you may not be into this art form for that reason, but wouldn't it be a nice little bonus?

After you were up and running with a website and a Patreon, it would require little more effort than you put into your WIP here. Ben Komets makes $5,000/monthly from his Patreon. This is about what I made as a 10 year Staff Sergeant in the US Army...

I know you have a great job, and a beautiful family, so you may not have the time to put into such an endeavor. But I just see so much potential and I had to say something. This is intended to be the deepest of compliments for your skill and your general social communications abilities.

I would gladly volunteer my time to help you build a website, BTW

Congratulations on your awards, Skel. Which pieces were awarded (sorry if I missed that)?
I love the little duo you finished recently. The zebra-looking pelt is a great addition to a mini without a lot of sculpted details and the basing concept is simply but simply great. Great job.

thanks a lot friends! it was a great weekend except that really iffy burger at Bugman's. seriously, don't eat there, at least not burgers!

benji, sniper is painted using 'german cammo dark brown' (i think its name is) highlighted with just +white, which make it look brown-greyish. dark red added in the shading.

im not going to do the Patreon thing though although it might seem like a good idea i dont want to feel any pressure whatsoever with updates, or that i in some way have to paint. but ty for support anyway :good:
