Hello everyone,
it's been a while since I last posted anything. Again, I can offer you
plenty of excuses but in I'm not going to do that. I got a bit depressed
because my job hunt is going poorly and immersed myself in Persona 5 to keep my
mind from wandering.
However, October is usually a month many painters use to paint in a kind
of theme (Zomtober being a regular one). With the Halloween spirit in mind (not
that I care about the holiday though) I started painting some creatures that
are often considered creepy, disturbing or spooky after I got back from a
family holiday in Western Australia.
While I still even haven't got an interview in sight, even though I’ve
send over a 100 resumes already, I got the painting bug again so I'll hopefully
feel well enough to post more regularly in the coming weeks.
First
up are a bunch of spiders I bought off from eBay. Given the price I paid for
them I suspect they're recasts; the details are pretty good though but the
resin's a bit brittle and a few legs broke off during transport.
Their
size is similar to that of a medium sized animal, not too big or too small and
close to what I was looking for.
Next is a converted Reaper
Bones fire elemental, which I'm going to use as a tortured soul for the Rangers
of Shadow Deep game.
A
couple of skeletons and skeleton knights from Alternative Armies. I removed the
turban on one of them as I thought it looked ridiculous, my repair work isn’t
the best on him however and he looks a bit weird (you can probably spot him
right away). There were a few more skeletons in the pack I bought, but these
are wearing some more outlandish armour so I’m saving them as summons for my
Burning Sands collection.
And
finally a trio of Blood Bats from the Warhammer Vampire Bat Swarm range,
especially the two smaller ones are great for 15mm.
After painting all of these I felt like doing more, so hopefully it won't be too long until my next update. Thank you for reading!
Best regards
Wouter
A lot of awesome minis sir!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Michal!
DeleteSorry to hear about the job issues. I hope everything goes better.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the minis, I admire what you did with the spiders, they look totally great; I think they are my favourites, though the skellies are eye candy too. Oh, and the bats! Nicely done, I love the veins on the membranes of the wings.
Really well done!
Thank you very much Suber, you're too kind.
DeleteAs for the job hunt, one of the main reasons companies are not selecting me seems to be the fact I'm only here on a temporary work visa. Back in Belgium I would've had a job within a week, where I've now been searching for over 9 months.
Spooktacular! All great, but the bats have to be my favourite.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael!
DeleteGlad your back mate!
ReplyDeleteThank you Richard, it's always good to get back. However it would have been better if I could just keep it up 😁.
DeleteGreat work Wouter! The bats especially ... wow, seriously ... wow!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kuan, that's high praise coming from you.
ReplyDeleteMy apologies for the late approval of your post by the way. W
the recent increase in spam posts I had activated this feature to combat that I had to remove every one seperately, but I kind of forgot that I did (shame on me).
