The Tale of Skirmish Game Painters 2011 Month 3 & November WIP

[Whitwort Stormbringer]

Geez, where has this month gone? Three weeks over and I have done nothing. At least that's what it feels like.

Ha, I'm in the same boat. Well, 1 mini painted, but he needs some touch-ups that I didn't notice until I photographed him...

@ Whitwort Stormbringer: It’s difficult to say since I have no idea what these are supposed to look like, but I find the great variety in skin colours a bit strange.

Yeah they're a little all over the place, aren't they? In this batch of figures, I only used "canonical" skin colors (i.e. skin tones that the company's painter has used), although for some of the previous groups I've invented some skin tones too.

As far as the official minis go, skin-tones seem to include (in order of prevalence):

Light beige with varying shades of brown spots
Yellowish-beige with dark brown spots
Dark brown with cream/white spots
Blue with darker blue spots
Pale red with darker red spots

I've also seen official artwork of quar with orange skin and dark brown spots, but haven't seen any minis painted that way yet.

Sorry for not posting the last month, I broke up with my girlfriend, had to move etc etc so no time for painting, or even being on the net, will try to start up again for next month, write me up as having used a Joker.

Wellsirs, it seems like we haven't been real active this month but here are a few WIP shots of some of the minis I hope to finish for the November goal. Grad school is proving to be a pretty good distraction, though, and with visitors for the holiday I don't know that I'll finish the whole squad in time.

Anyways, here they are. Ideally if I can finish in time this month's goal will be a 6-man squad.



Far from finished but hey, it's a start.

@ Rotokultaxe: Great dress, great skin colour, great hair…great overall! If this was not your first choice to enter into the competition, I can’t wait to see what was!
(Could you please take a picture of Avatar Seamus with another mini to compare the sizes?)

Thanks! For the Rotten harvest competition, I entered this NE Teddy (I'll post it directly in next month's thread, as well as more angles in my plog soon):

As for avatar Seamus, I'll post a pic of him next to regular Seamus as soon as it's finished (maybe for next month...), and maybe next to the copycat killer if I find the time to paint him also. It's gonna be some weird "before and after" pics I tell you!

Right - didn't get caught up with other things nearly as fast as I expected. I'm going to have to Joker this month and probably be back in December with updates.
