Hmm. I think I’ve accidentally added ‘fox’ into the goat-pupper-Thor ambiguity here.
If the camera can’t even focus them, we call them done, right?
Teeny tiny tippity-taps of NMM.
Eyeball count: still zero.
It’s all fun and games picking up the world’s smallest pupper, but then you realise this thing has eyeballs which will need painting.
Little bit of a contrast boop.
Apron time.
Ahh, forgot the ‘always put their hats on so you don’t have to paint their eyeballs’ rule.
Using this one to do a bit of airbrush practice. What do we reckon, ‘green’?
“Hey! What are you teens up to?”
At some point my self-distractions will loop back on themselves and I’ll actually finish a thing. Today is not that day! 🎉 Having a play at unifying yellows and reds via purples and pinks, inspired by @minis ‘s gorgeous Howling Griffons scheme.
He’s gone for the obvious progression, folks. Skin, dagger hilt, crown. The goal is always to make painting everything else as pointlessly fiddly as possible.
Look at that cheeky grin.
There’s something weirdly satisfying about painting high-contrast skin, whether Ork, bug, or Scotsman.
Ooo, new lovely thing has arrived to distract me from all the other unfinished lovely things.
Looks a little bit more in keeping with the rest of the mini?
A bit of tidying today, smoothing some of the worst colour blends. I’ve added a bit of yellow at hard transition lines in an attempt to suggest that the Actual Human Sun might be directly glinting on those edges, discrete from bright sky and ground reflections.
Boop the paint at random, make a horrified face, glaze it away until the tears stop.
Pro strats, hobby pals, as we attempt something less cartoony on the rear face of the axe.
Finding myself with some purples and reds still on the palette and the long-abandoned Spooky Lady within arm’s reach, I’m randomly trying to improve this older coloured NMM attempt by boosting contrast.
Hey, look at me, un-abandoning a thing! I really like the dark desaturated purple and red I ended up with as a base on the big bug, so I’m glazing the same mix over the clashing too-vibrant versions here (while I remember what they are).
