Back to Shatterpoint after a quick detour to paint some Hallowe'en themed stuff.

Kalani - I wasn't keen on the alternate build that had them holding a 'hologram of the city' so I went with the gun option.

My favourite unintended consequence of this choice? The sculpt puts Kalani in this little... 'lean' - with the other arm behind their back it just comes across as a little sassy, and I'm here for it

Spent a little time putting the finishing touches on Maul. Really happy with how the lightsaber turned out, and after some reflection on what the physical construction of his robes would be, decided to dull down the arms from the tan/khaki colour scheme to something that matched his top a bit better. this kept it from feeling like the material on his arms was just... 'separate' from everything else.

Do you ever find yourself in that moment where nearly *everything* is just working? The consistency of the paint, the mini, the temperature, even the background noise (I've just started burning through Critical Role's campaign 2). All of it.

I sat down at 10pm, and when I looked up next it was 12:30 am! But I'm pretty much done, all that's left is to work on the base, figure out how I want to do the lightsaber and finish up the horns.

Next up - Lord Maul. It always bugged me how much he was 'the face' of all the Episode 1 marketing back in '99 when he really was nothing more than an empty shell that did a lot of fancy moves (Thank you, Ray Park).

Fast forward to the Clone Wars Animated Series and finishing his story in season 3 of Rebels and BAM!

What. An. Arc.

Going from being Palpatine's apprentice to being defeated at the hands of Obi-Wan. Fueled by his hatred, but driven insane by his isolation only to be rescued by his brother.

He goes on to unite several crime syndicates and take over Mandalore in his quest for revenge on Obi-Wan.

Defeated again, but escaping in the chaos of Order 66, and years later, facing Obi-Wan one last time and in his final defeat, coming to the realisation that his old nemesis isn't hiding, but is instead on guard duty, protecting the future of the Force.

So let's do this man some justice with a brush.

Well... these came together quite quickly! Tried to give all the different black materials their own unique feel by varying the highlighting, ie: greys for the jumpsuits and blues for the leather/armour pieces.

All in all, a pleasant painting journey finishing these up

With Bo-Katan and the Nite Owls done, it’s time to look at Gar Saxon and the super commandos

15/09/2023

Aaand I think we can call Bo-Katan and her Nite Owls done!

Wasn't sure about the hint of blue I'd added to the grey armour panels, but in the end, I'm pretty happy with it all.

Next up, Gar Saxon and the super commandos

14/09/2023

Calling the blue bits of armour done! Now to finish of the grey panels and the bases!

13/09/2023

Forgot to take any sort of 'starting point' shots, but here's some progress on Bo Katan and the Nite Owls from Shatterpoint.

Loving the use of the smoke trails as a replacement for flight stands

30/08/2023

I'm calling Ahsoka's face and skin done, now just to finish the rest of the highlights and the base.

16/05/2023

Definitely happier with the skin tones now that it’s framed with other colours. I got so wrapped up in the work that I forgot to take some intermediate WIP pictures.

Also, can we talk about how gorgeous that Scale 75 Huldra Blue is? It thins down wonderfully and just goes on like a dream

30/01/2023

After MANY years of owning this print, I finally managed to get it framed and up on a wall.

It’s bloody gorgeous and I love it.

OK - so last year was pants when it came to actually tackling the 'pile of opportunity'.

This year, the Boy and I are taking the "5 generic skeletons/giant rats/zombies/etc" from the Blacklist Mini's Kickstarter I backed and making a concerted effort to try and get one a month done.

So far, the priming has gone well

Art vs. Artist 2022

2022 was a fairly mediocre year for painting, unfortunately. Intentions were good, but life gets in the way sometimes.

Looking forward to 2023, I have in the 'pile of opportunity' a bunch of generic fantasy miniatures from a Kickstarter I backed a while ago.

Quite a few of them are variations of '5 automatons/5 giant rats/5 ghouls' etc. I'd already handed over 2 of each to the boy when they arrived (gotta start that pile early!) and I think for next year I'm going to set myself a little challenge to complete at least one of these minis a month and do this with the boy.

“Paint the black things white” they said.
“It will be fun” they said.

They lied. Tossers.

BUT, I'm pretty happy with the final result :)

19/11/2022

And just like that, work on the Community Challenge is finished!

Very happy with how this one turned out, especially after the initial "Oh crap! What have I done?" stage when I started work on the claws.

Overall, a lovely little sculpt, the organic nature of, well... EVERYTHING really allowed for some freedom to experiment that I wouldn't normally do with armour. And that little nameplate? LOVE IT. Such a simple little touch to help make this guy stand out on a shelf.

Thanks for following along! Provided by Steamforged Games, this month's challenge is to paint a cruel crustacean Karkinos miniature, the scourge of sailors, the death from the deep. 🦀

It also came with this neat little 'MWF Challenge' nameplate, courtesy of Versatile Terrain, it's a really nice touch. (Use discount code 'MONKEY10' during checkout to receive 10% off orders from the original nameplate creator: https://www.versatileterrain.co.uk/)
