Sproket's WIP

lol

I'm eager to see the finished thing, as that parrot is looking fabulously flamboyant!

I've put together a description of the colour palette used on my Uncle John bust. For any one interested it can be found here.

Wow thank you! I appreciate this just for understanding your process more so than the actual recipes.

Nice breakdown on the colours used there. Are you on course to finish on time for Euro do you think? No pressure or anything

All going well I should be! I have a busy weekend ahead of me in order to finish everything off but I've made good progress so it really is mostly finishing touches. I've two plinths painted ready so I can see what works best and then I have to make up some boxes for transporting the minis. Busy, Busy, Busy!

The Parrot is done so now I have to glue him into place on Uncle John. Things are going suspiciously well and that makes me nervous!

Wow, really nice ! Looks like a real one
Color tones (dont sure if it's how we say in english ) are pretty cool

 

[MAXXxxx]

you should be nervous because that parrot looks absolutely amazing.

More saturated than a 2 week old bandaid. : /

 

[AndyG]

Now that really IS a pretty polly!

 

[Bailey03]

Lovely work. Great colors!

 

[Shades]

Pretty darn incredible. A pleasure to study.

 

[Demihuman]

Great feathers. The subtle hatching (?) you added into your shading really pops out after a second. I am inspired to paint some feathers!

 

[Meph]

That is a healthy attitude. Always be on alert when everything is going fine.

I once was told by an American that it is a very European way of thinking.

Silence in a forest is an ambush waiting to happen, and an empty room is filled with ninjas.

You're not Paranoid if they really are out to get you!

I am "they" and make no mistake....we will get you....mu hahahahahaha!!!!!!!

 

[Sproket]

OK, nothing creepy or weird going on here at all then!:laugh:

Things are going very well inspite of my paranoia. Uncle John is ready for Euro and I've even finished making transportation boxed for him & Squarg. Now I just have to brace myself for the Friday evening drive to Folkstone which, depending on the traffic, could be a nightmare!

 

[Dragonsreach]

Sproket; I'm hearing you on that one Dave!
The missus and I are doing :-
Home to Bolton = Taxi
Bolton - Manchester = Train
Manchester -London Euston = Train
Euston - St.Pancras = Underground
St.Pancras - Folkestone = Train
Folkestone - Hotel = Taxi

Bricking it for all eight pieces I'm bringing.

The drives not that bad Dave, just watch it over the speed ramps!

Good luck to you all!! There's a lot of talent between the five (included Andy and Skel) of y'all, so I'm fairly certain there's some winners on the trip home. Keep us posted and please take lots of pics!!! Especially curious of DR's 8 pieces....who knew?
