Wednesday Night WIPs

Tonight I did some touch-ups to finish off the boss monsters I did at Painting Club last night, then worked through my six minion skeleton archers from the Descent v1 box. But enough about that box... with this red Shadow Dragon done, I've completed all the miniatures in Descent v2! And Lair of the Wyrm, and Beastmen and Razorwings from v1... I've done a lot of Descent minis! Tomorrow I'll spend some time on bases, spray with matte sealer, and put this kid to bed.

Reaper updated us on their Bones Kickstarter last night, and it sounds like they're running about a month and a half behind. So I'll have June and early July to paint Descent v1, Wrath of Ashardalon, and maybe Legend of Drizzt. After all that, I'm going to be in great shape for all my new Bones stuff!

Painting Club WIPs

A dragon and as bunch of other red monsters. Good painting club!

Monday Night WIPs

More Descent boss, aka red, monsters today. I finished the two fire imps and the hybrid, then banged out the elemental, the zombie, and the Flesh Molder.

Tomorrow is paint club! I need to figure out what I'm bringing!

Sunday Night WIPs

More Descent Master monsters, this time my three boss Beastmen (done as a Masters of the Universe reference), two fire imps, and the draconic hybrid. The last three need some work, hopefully tomorrow. I've got some good stuff working with transparencies on these guys!

Saturday Night WIPs

Good night of painting as we stay home with the kid! I finished this ridiculous Descent v1 Lizard Guy hero and did my Shadow Dragon up like the Pathfinder Black Dragon. That worked against the sculpt occasionally but I like the end result, especially the wings. Then I powered through three boss monsters: the ettin, the goblin archer, and the cave spider. I will finish you, Descent Box!

Tremble before Gravestorm!

It's an undead blue dragon named Gravestorm... a little on the nose, but we don't play D&D for the subtlety!

So I knew how to do the bone, but undead dragons have a lot of dried skin too, otherwise their wings don't look good. So I looked around on how to do this Huge Dracolich, and what parts of him were dead flesh and not knobby dragon bone. I decided to match the paint master from the WOTC Unhallowed set, which decided that a blue dragon should leave... blue!

So all the bones went from a black basecoat to brown, light brown, light yellow, and white drybrushing. The flesh started as very dark blue and got some medium blue highlights for the edges of the sculpt. I love how this turned out.

Thursday Night WIPs

Finished my merriod, which I like! And my Descent v1 falconer, which isn't great. But he's done. Tomorrow, the shadow dragon!
