Getting My Act Together on my Blog

[sunjester]

I haven't posted much on my blog recently. Partly because I have been a bit preoccupied with reinventing our family business in the face of the current situation and finding new ways to earn some sort of income. And partly, if I am honest, because I seemed to lack enthusiasm to do so.  So giving myself a good kick up the backside, I've started (re-started?) by putting up a bunch of fantasy mini's I've painted since August http://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2020/12/various-fantasy-figures.html

Those are excellent sir.

Cracking work there!

Good work there. The zombies are indeed from Zombicide Black Plague.

Sounds like "a bit preoccupied with reinventing our family business in the face of the current situation and finding new ways to earn some sort of income" are pretty important things to be focused on

Great stuff, Graham !

Indeed!

Sounds like you have been getting painting and playing in. If getting them on to a blog isn't happening then that's understandable, it's always more of a chore. But glad to see the results, and fhey look good - those spiders are huge!

Keepo it up !

[sunjester]

Thank you very much, gents!

[sunjester]

And now I've added some of the VSF stuff (with a bit of a Gothic Horror twist). http://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2020/12/some-lockdown-painting-vsfsteampunk.html

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Really excellent and creepy too!

[Steve J]

Excellent stuff Graham .

[Techno II]

Love 'em.

Cheers - Phil

Oooh! Carnival Row-ish.

Not that I watched. The heavy political overtones put me off after episode 1.

Nice brushwork. I'm into the steam powered bicycle gatling, but I'm impressed with your handling of yellow. Difficult colour yellow. Do you undercoat in brown?

[fred.]

Those are very bizarre (in a good way) and good work on the rest of them.

I really enjoyed Carnival Row - shame it was just the one series - and came to a rather major ending!

[mmcv]

Very nice

[sunjester]

Many thanks for all the kind words, gentlemen.

A bit of a cheat actually, because I've never had any good results with yellow in the past. This was a light brown/beige undercoat and Iyanden Yellow contrast paint from the Evil Empire (TM).

I thought I'd get one more post in before Christmas https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2020/12/more-vsfsteampunk-with-vehicles.html

Love the steam carriage! Though I did think initially that the lampost was attached to the front wheel as a bizarre sort of headlight.

How would one get into it?
