RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Crimson Fist razorback and landraider

Landraider redeemer





Landraider art





And here are the razorbacks





Humor





The armor of crimson fists is a precious thing in these dark days. Guarded when deployed with a care one would a child. Even salvaged when any other legion would of scrapped them.


Though in the case of the older razor back it shall need alot of repair. Still debating in making it terrain or repairing it. We shall see


Moving on wip of razor back and landraider repainting.





Coffee humor





Onto one on one first up landraider which I forgot to take any wip photos on oops.











Truth that we should never forget.





Moving on the razorback.

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Lightning Tutorial

’ve been asked to do a lightning tutorial. Lightning is easy to do and stunning when finished.


I’ll be using a sword blade, but lightning can be done on anything.


Start by painting the area you want the lightning black.





Paint thick jagged lines in regal blue, now known as kantor blue.





When painting lightning it helps to keep the form of actual lightning in mind. I like to have a reference picture to refer to.





Follow the regal blue lines with a thinner line of shadow grey, now known as the Fang.





Next, follow the lines of shadow grey with finer lines of space wolves grey, also called fenrisian grey.





One more thing to make the lightning more realistic. In some joints, use the space wolves grey to draw thin connecting lines. See the picture for what I mean.





There you have it. Believable realistic looking lightning.

Cheers for the lightning tutorial. Thought I'd leave this here. It's probably all too techy, but might give you some options/ideas. Deepwars: http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/miniatures/deepwars?limit=all

-Edit- And hey, that picture of a blue shark up there is a mako shark! Can't sneak that past me, Santa.

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Crimson Dawn

History and mystery beckon from atop Casper Mountain in the heart of central Wyoming. Trails wind gently among the pine and aspen while the log cabin museum provides a warm step back in time. Crimson Dawn Park and Museum welcomes you to the enchanted world of Neal Forsling’s creative and inspirational legacy. ( from the crimson dawn website


So the wife, Judy, and I started our evening by going to McDonald’s for dinner. Judy of course had a kids meal… But not this kind of kids meal.





We got there early and decided to take a stroll around crimson dawn. Judy sat to look at flowers on our way in.





We made it to the top of the butte. Looking out, you can see how close the fire came to crimson dawn.








Judy sat to rest on our way down.





And then Judy began running again.





While waiting or the stories to begin Judy stopped to see an Ent play music. He was quite talented.





From the bottom of the butte you can see the rocks that spell out crimson dawn.





First up was the topaz witch. She handed out fairy wands to everyone.





Next was the star witch who sprinkled everyone with her special magic dust. Here she is dusting Judy.





And te wife after being dusted.





And then we saw a leprechaun





And a magical woodcutter.





Judy on my shoulders





The good brother





The animal graveyard and the iron dog





It was around this point when the wife got tired of carrying the wand. She mimicked a couple of other girls and added her wand to her hair.





Undine, the homesick sea witch holds up a seashell for the children to hear her beloved ocean. The look of amazement and joy as they hear it brings a tear to the eyes.





Next comes the lavender witch and vermillion. She gave out flowers and magical wish beans. Vermillion game out porcupine quills and fortunes that may or may not be true for those brave enough to listen to him. Judy said he was grumpy. The wife wanted to linger and hear more.








Next came the oldest and most vain witch, the emerald witch. SHe gave Judy a special emerald, and even let her pet the peacock feathers.





Next comes Bambi’s gateway, a sandstone entry to a special world to keep the animals safe from hunters.





The kind black witch gave Judy a special bubble potion.





She did have a line of reptiles hanging out to dry





And a cauldron she stirred to make smoke. Though the rainbows coming from it were beautiful.

The special thinking ground. I would like to try it sometime.





Squirrel Capitol of the USA





The iron owl





Circling the hearth stone





Little elves





A gorgeous view of a little rain coming in





The blind minstrel and the daughter who was too tired to finish the tour sadly.





All in all a wonderful afternoon. The wife wants to do it again next year. Maybe we can even stay for the whole event.

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Crimson Dawn

Alright. Today we are painting a bloodletter of khorne. Primer him black to start with.
Now basecoat him scab red. (Fittingly named khorne red in the new series.)





Drybrush him with mechrite red. That’s Mephiston red in the new colors.





Next Drybrush him with blood red.



Now give it a heavy wash of Baal red.





Paint the weapon blade, hair, horns, and tongue black. ‘Ard coat the blade.





The belt, the chains, the weapon hilt, the armor and the arm guards need to be painted blighted gold.





On the armor there are khorne symbols. Paint them reaper ruby red. Also paint the faces of the arm guards ruby red.





Pick out the teeth and skulls in bleached bone. Wash the skulls either mud or sepia. I chose to wash them sepia to lighten up the overall tone of the model.





Lastly the eyes. Black and iyandun darksun aka averland sunset.

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Cobblestone Tutorial

To green stuff your own cobblestones, you need a base and green stuff, along with a sculpting tool. I got mine from the local Hobby lobby but your local gamestore would have them too.





Mix your greenstuff. Keep your fingers wet while you mix the greenstuff. Make sure you have a 50:50 mix of the yellow and blue. I find it mixes better if you make ropes out of it and twist them together.





Now that we have the greenstuff mixed you need a small amount to spread over the base.








Let it stiffen up a little bit, then use your sculpting tool to carve cobble stone shapes in the stone.
Like these:





Remember to keep the tools wet while you work.





Now to add texture. I use a combination of my sculpting tool and a paint brush. A few pockmarks and broken stones with the sculpting tool.





Now stipple the base with a firm
Brush like the stipple brush or a round Drybrush.





Let it dry and paint it up!

RE: Pirates of the Sunken Sea,:Nsfw Dire Sharks of doom

I really like the idea of using sharks as dire wolves, but I'm confused about how they're propelling themselves towards their prey. Are they flying? Flopping? (Flying sharks or flopping zombie sharks could both be pretty creepy.)

Cheers for the lightning tutorial. Thought I'd leave this here. It's probably all too techy, but might give you some options/ideas. Deepwars: http://www.coolminiornot.com/shop/miniatures/deepwars?limit=all

Deepwars! I was leafing through the rulebook in my local game store the other day. It looked like it might be interesting, but oddly the book didn't have a miniatures gallery section, so thanks for sharing this.

And, as long as we're talking about sharks, here's a stunning infographic about them. (Scroll down.) http://io9.com/easily-the-most-staggering-infographic-youll-see-today-487150935

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Cobblestone Tutorial

This is really nice Santa, would you copy that in some "how to..." thread? It may be hard to find again if you keep updating your plog in the usual time, and I wanna try this out

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Cobblestone Tutorial

Already have in the basing thread

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Cobblestone Tutorial

So this week we learned about trees.
We took a drive up on the mountains to look at trees of different species.
First up a deciduous tree. Judy said it has leaves. Tina wanted to know where the lorax was. Gabby just sighed.





The girls posed.





Then they found a tree stump, where their mom got to explain that trees that get sick are cut down to keep the trees around them healthy. Judy cried that te tree had been sick. Tina wanted to know where the lorax was. Gabby sat on the stump. (Can you tell she was not enthused about learning about trees?)





Next Judy got to find her “carnivorous” tree. A coniferous tree. She began hunting for pinecones and found one that was sprouting. Then we found a
Baby pine cone on the tree.





They all thought the little pinecones were the greatest thing ever.





A neat sight we saw.





Gabby finally found her own pinecone, and wanted a picture of it but wouldn’t hold still.





We found a young pine tree





And some barely sprouted pine trees. Judy wanted to take the baby trees home.





Judy said the “carnivorous trees” grow to be very tall.





Then they were distracted by moss.





And deer





Posing by the elk statue by the hunting store.





And admiring a ferret at the pet store.





By the Russian olive in our yard.








And now we make our own trees








Putting glue on the trees.








And making the trees.

















And finally Saturday nights super moon.

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Lug Polar werebear

I love doing polar bears I am over joyed that I get a chance to do this model once again. Though feel bad for this DM’s parties. As they face alot of golems and were beasts.


Wip





I would love to run a haunted house adventure. Be fun to make the party stay in a severely haunted house for a night. Subjected to my encounters. Though as the customer reads this I may of planted a idea.





This is the second wip on the bear.



The low hp doesn’t apply to the bear but…..



The final wip shot before I finished the last of the details.





Yup this be true.





Now the bear is done.

 

[Adam_Barrow]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW mzima stonme golem

That bear looks great. Very menacing.

As to the haunted house, I had a 20's Call of Cthulhu game going where the investigators ended up trapped by a snowstorm in a house like that. Very fun.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW iron golem and banshee

thanks con-fusion. Never played call of Cthulu, but always wanted to try it

iv]


Today we have a iron golem, I have always been amazed how he looks like the bad guy in iron man. So here is the first wip shot.





Note do not store your iron golem under the sea or he will look like this.





Wip





Humor





Now the beautiful golem, in his finished state.







In legends the banshee is a spirit who wails if someone is about to die. She can appear as an ancient hag or a beautiful woman.


In this case she is a beautiful woman, bound by spectral chains.
A work in progress shot.





I’m using SethDrallitoc’s ethereal tutorial. It’s simple and easy and produces stunning results.





And here she is finished. Front.





And back.

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Rock Golem

He is a rock monster





A real rock monster





Wip of the rock monster also known as a stone golem.





Someone has a new pillow.

RE: Pirates of the Sunken Sea,:Nsfw Dire Sharks of doom

The dark magic who brings them to life also makes the air seem like water so they swim in the air same as they would in the sea.

 

[Shadespyre]

RE: Pirates of the Sunken Sea,:Nsfw Dire Sharks of doom

Beautiful job on painting those sharks, but I do worry they will look a bit silly flying above the battlefield. Were you not tempted to model them as if in shallow sea? Though, taking their bit of sea onto the battlefield might look strange too I guess.

Anyway - nice painting!

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Pirates of the Sunken Sea,:Nsfw Dire Sharks of doom

Yes I was tempted and there not done yet they will be getting a healthy dose of sea weed. Which will be a major basing item. But like I said the dark magic makes the air as if its the sea. So they do not have the limitations of living sharks.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Rock Golem

Mercenaries are always fun to do.


Here is Ado Salint





I didn’t do it





Moving on to another wip, fun figure think ill order one for myself now. Not sure what id use it for but….





This sounds so much like my kids and cats.





Drum roll for the finished model please.

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Ado Salint

Anwyn, Female Bard

Elves are just hot and cute this one is no different.
Wip





Though this elf has gone bad and is just creepy.





Now about the elf who played the flute while her woodland home burned.


Silly people thinking this was a good elf.





Even elves sometimes miss or do they?





Now we have the finished Elfie

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW dicarus darksword

I get to do another. Funny thing is the inspirational photo I was send nearly matched how I did my first one.





A good halfling never passes up a drink





Moving on here is another wip photo. In all honestly I have never played a halfling. Maybe I should some time.





Clowns something everyone loved as a kid until the evil clowns took over.





Finished little thief

 

[Santawraith]

RE: Santa's Workshop : NSFW Dar Dimplefoot halfling theif

Another thief which I was confused on the name as I thought the previous thief was named this. But if you caught one thief you caught them all. Except the grey fox he is a mysterious one.





Some role play humor





Onto the thief again though he prefers expert trap springer





Yes many a times sometimes I am even forgiven for it.





Finished thief
