Everblight Painting Update and Reaper mini Exchange
Everblight:
So last Monday I switched from Skorne Painting to Everblight painting and made some short term rapid progress, assisted by my absence from work Friday. Middle of last week I finished off the Everblight Forsaken model and on Friday a got another 6 Everlbight swordsmen finished.
Forsaken, The idea of the miniature was much better than it’s execution. Not to say the model is bad, but the sculpting lacked expressive details, particularly in the face. Still a pretty good model and all in all painted up fairly quickly (probably 2 hours total).
Swordsmen, pretty straight forward paint job, similar to the last 6 I accomplished. These were finished thanks to a Friday off, and a few background movies. Somehow it seemed fitting to paint these goth rejects while watching “The Crow”. Luckily the details on these guys is pretty easy to execute a good table top quality paint job. Easily accomplished with base coating and drybrushing OR base coating and a wash. That let me push them through really quick, probably spent 4 hours total on the 6 figures.
Reaper mini Exchange:
Sign ups for the Spring Reaper mini exchange are going on now! Essentially you sign up to partake in the exchange on the Reaper miniature forums, and then you get a painting assignment. You paint a figure for somebody and somebody paints a figure for you. I’m finishing off my assignment for the second mini exchange (photos up later this week) and it works well for me. Forces me to get a high end miniature finished and out the door. But also allows me to stretch out my comfort zone and try something new. And if it fails I don’t have the miniature mocking me when it all done. http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=24869 Link to the sign up page. Follow directions there if interested
