Monday Progress Update

Well I’m maintaining hours at the desk after the first week, actually I’m near damn certain I exceeded it. Lately I have been focusing creating basing for my Skorne as well some miniature cleaning and assembly both for table top and art projects, so not a whole lot to show just yet. I did start up on another task that I need to get back into, finding reference material. Both miniature painting examples from Cool mini or not (Search the gallery for a specific company at ratings of 8+ and kiss the evening goodbye) as well as actual photographic images from the web. I find that the really help in refining highlight gradients as well as highlight placements.

Here are the current projects I’m looking at. It is a given the focuses will change but honestly I expect that

Table top projects
To meet the desire for a fully painted Magnus/Skorne invasion there are a few things I need to finish off. Actually just about everything needs to be finished off, So I’m pretty much looking at my Entire Skorne Force that needs painting, 750 points worth in roughly 6 weeks. This should be interesting I did 500 about 350 points of trolls in 6 weeks, and most of that was warbeast.

Art Projects
There are a few miniatures that I’d picked up purely to paint. A few reaper sculpts as well as sculpts from Spyglass, Hasslefree, Heresy, etc. Now I know from experience I cannot dive right into high art after leaving it for several months, and the last figure I started doing up right was over a year ago. So I’m starting with a few Rackham and reaper sculpts I’ve got lying around to warm up and get practice on. These are sculpts I may or may not finish and I know this staring out. These are sculpts that offer up large swatches of sections that I need re-master. Techniques such as: Skin tones, highlighting techniques for linen, leather, polished leather, as well as the whole breadth of Non Metallic Metal painting. And I’ll be doing these while doing table top quality miniatures.
