Iron Painter Round 4 - Wednesday is Paused for 01 Jun 2016

I managed to do a little more work on the Monstrosity since my last blog post. It's not finished, but I am done with it for now.

Round four of Iron Painter has come and gone. The theme this round was "Armed and Dangerous". The submitted entries can be found here.

Pretty in Pink and Wednesday in Progress - 30 Mar 2016

Here is my submission for the first round of this year's Iron Painter. The theme for round one was Pretty in Pink. I had a lot of fun with this entry. It was weird working to a deadline. I was uncertain I would be able to accomplish this task.

Iron Painter: Pretty in Pink - Wednesday in Progress Part II

I continued the putty work on the troll from last week. I have started to paint on the music box. There is now a secondary base started so the troll may be used separately from the music box. I hope this extra base will let me place the troll in precise positions in the box so the mirror will line up properly in pictures instead of having the troll always snap to be lined up with the magnet in the box.

Iron Painter: Pretty in Pink - Wednesday in Progress

Round one's theme was announced Monday. It is 'Pretty in Pink'. I was out a decent chunk today, and all of yesterday, but I am happy with the progress so far. No painting as of yet, but I have been playing with the putty. I also bought some stuff.

The rough idea is a Troll finds itself in a giant children's jewelry box where he discovers the beauty within himself.

Bones II Unboxing

It is not that often I do an unboxing. My package from the Reaper Bones II Kickstarter arrived last week. I was busy so set the models aside initially while I pulled out the paints and DVDs to go over. I backed the first Reaper Bones Kickstarter as well and am happy with both purchases. This one was delayed due to unforseen extensions on transit times, getting stuck in customs for a few months, and then landing in California during the dock worker strikes. This delay was the one thing I think could possibly even be considered a negative during the kickstarter for me, and it was more a minor nuisance or inconvenience than an actual problem for me.
