Part of me really wants to kitbash this whole range as 40K Imperial Guard… Rogue Trader style.
New frens just dropped.
Any of you incredible mini-photographers have any advice on how to take a flattering hero image? https://mastodon.social/@Brennos80/114075211586949338
What do we reckon here, HobbyPals? Is the freehanding actually accomplishing anything, or just distracting from the initial pleasant simplicity?
/taps temple: can’t be a bog standard ork checkerboard if it’s tilted into diamonds, that’s clearly elf territory…
Another incredibly quick ‘two-tone’ test.
It’s not the tidiest highlighting job in the world, but I’m slightly irritated that this very quick two-tone ‘tester’ model is already looking nicer than the stuff I spend weeks on…

I added an attempt at a cast shadow on the base, trying to emphasise that I want the scene to read as though lit from a shaft of light above, but I hated it so much that I set it aside for a full week 😅 I think it’s just far too extreme, I’ll try to soften it and lighten it to recover.

I mean I can’t leave him without hair…
When I say ‘finish the Farseer’ first, I obviously don’t mean not putting any paint on that tiny little face.
Well… I know what I’ll be working on when I get the Farseer finished up. Can’t believe it’s even smaller. Look at that likeness though, even just primed!
Blend, blend, blend—checks to confirm that almost nothing has changed—blend, blend, blend. What even is white?
I played corpses on multiple seasons of that show and I don’t see a single STL with my face on it. I’m writing to my MP.
