Dark Age Sawblade

I'm loving the Dark Age Brood minis. I think they're very unique and fun to paint. I get to play with lots of different effects.

On this guy I experimented with shading metallics. I used GW washes, Vallejo smoke, Vallejo Brown Glaze and Reaper Master Series Rush Brown and Chestnut for the rust effects.

I'm really looking forward to being able to field a fully painted Dark Age army!

Melisande

My little pirate! I'm quite happy with the pants and coat and the NMM, not quite as happy with her hands (not enough definition), the hat (same) and the hair (sloppy). The base is moderately ugly.

My photography is definitely getting better. The only huge issues I still have is skintones. Comparering these pictures with the WIP one taken with flash, the skintones on the WIP have way more depth. Not sure how to fix that though.

This is one the figures sculpted for the Chick Challenge. I don't know if that "contest" is still going. I hope it is. It was great fun.

The figure was sculpted by Steve Buddle, and he did an amazing job. I love this mini so much. I hope I can do it justice.

I painted the skin using Reaper's Olive Skin triad. I'm really liking it so far.
