Great job on that cover story for Fantasy Figures International, Tim! Splendid model.
Thanks matey, I was shocked when the approached me to do the step-by-step and I thought they where joking when they mentioned being on the cover, I was floored when I found out it was the main cover image!? I still can’t believe it!
Cheers John and Dex.
I wish I could take credit for the lighting but Paul deserves that, im
just trying to paint what I see. It does give me the opportunity to really analyse the artwork though and I’ve found a new level of appreciation for the painting and Paul’s skills! He really is a Master! It’s actually a pretty limited palette as well which is also really fun.
Joce sooooo many cool details! I love turning this little guy around and discovering another little Easter egg I’d not noticed!
today was about Master Sulfurs tome. I had a notion to paint some inscription on the pages so it looked like a spell book. I asked a mate who’s mad into Rackham if he knew of any illustrated spells from the game and apparently there’s only one, a plague of rats! It’s seemed really fitting but it was too big for the page so I picked out 2 little furry critters and tried my luck. I’m really not great at freehand, I lack Joce’s patience and precision but I’ve perceived. I do like who the rate turned out but I was far from happy with the other page. I did a spell from one of the Hero Quest cards and frankly it looked shit

I slept on it and then decided rather than repainting it I’d add some more pages to the book. It would get rid of my SMC rap wolf thing and also help the book look a little more realistic. I measured up and cut a strip of foil from a wine bottle top (a nice Spanish Crianza) primer it and roughly folded it and shaped it, opened it back ip
and painted designs and inscription on each page. No you can’t see them all as I’ve glued some of the edges down but if you turn the mini around you can catch a glimpse of them and I know they’re there! I’m really happy with how it’s turned out.

next I needed a cover and as you can’t see it on the art I felt I could add another little little Easter egg. My mate came up trumps again and showed me a cool Confrontation goblin icon which I thought would look really cool.
not easy but cool. As I say I’m not that comfortable with freehand but it’s something I’m trying to improve so I went for it. I actually think it came out better than the pages!
