Celestial

I wanted to make a starry pattern on her cloak.
Snow is a slurry of PVA glue + baking soda.

Fire Effect

Another miniature for a friend, with fire as focal point.
I tried the method of starting at black then building through red, orange and yellow to white.

Tiles

I painted this for a friend, and got the idea that it should be based on a tile floor rather than the tiny mound of dirt it as in the cast. So I built a floor out of modelling putty.

The Hook

"I know kung fu"

Panzerbjorn

I am pretty happy with how this bear turned out. Sculpt makes me think of the panzer bjorn from The Golden Compass / His Dark Materials series.

I tried to build up to something I was happy with via layers. I did added coats to lighten the fur and darken the armor. (The spikes on the armor are the remains of the original color for instance).

 

The "target area" for the paintbrush on many of the details was incredibly small.

 

The chain mail on the kilt was dry brushed, which took two attempts before it came out acceptably.

 

This miniature is pretty incredible. It looks like the concept art was done by Chris Walton, who has a deviantArt blog. I haven't found the sculptor yet unfortunately.

Druid #2

I next painted the second of druid pair I bought. More practice. Instead of dry brushing the raised texture on the arm, leg, chest and shoulder armor I directly painted it.

I somehow never took a picture, so will update this once I get one in tomorrow's daylight.
