So obviously I won't just be using one mini, but this is what I have so far and as I want to start I thought I'd post her up. I'll add more when they arrive and I work out exactly what I'm doing...

Hmmm

Great to see you entering the competition mate, but are you entering a ziplock bag!

I *think* that's a hasslefree poledancer in the bag? Am I right?

Good luck!

Thats a bit obtuse Brandlin

it's clearly the very-nearly-nude barbarian girl leaning on her polearm

Thats a lovely model to paint btw

Brandlin · « **Reply #3 on:** October 01, 2012, 05:22:33 PM »

Apologies Avicenna - i couldn't make it out from my ipad screen... and i bow to your greater knowledge of the non-grymn sections of the hasslefree catalogue.

now, stop correcting me and post your starting pics.

Wings · « **Reply #4 on:** October 02, 2012, 11:34:02 AM »

Yeah, sorry the pic came out so dark... It's Gayle from Hasslefree. If you squint you can *just* about see that. I've managed to get as far as taking her out of the bag now.

beefcake · « **Reply #5 on:** October 03, 2012, 04:16:55 AM »

oh!!! Yours is out of the bag. Another one that is further ahead than me. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

Wings · « **Reply #6 on:** October 05, 2012, 03:39:01 PM »

Ok, and several days late here's the next mini. Here's a Heresy Ogre. Let's see how far I get with this...

Inso · « **Reply #7 on:** October 05, 2012, 04:50:44 PM »

Good stuff.

I have added the above pic to your starting pic post so you don't have to now

Wings · « **Reply #8 on:** October 05, 2012, 11:57:42 PM »

Thank you! Much appreciated. I completely forgot about that... I'll remember with any future additions!

He is now out of his bag and assembled. One of these days I may even get round to painting these in time.

You still have 10 weeks

beefcake · « **Reply #10 on:** October 06, 2012, 06:37:17 AM »

Ten weeks. Jeepers. I had better get started on mine. That mini you've added just screams to be in a diorama.

He'll! Is that all?
Depressed at the amount of work I have to do already.

Ajsalium · « **Reply #12 on:** October 06, 2012, 11:25:55 AM »

Then stop moaning and start painting!

And use your kid as a painting minion. You can task him with doing simple (but boring and time consuming) things such as cleaning brushes, changing the glass of water, touching up the priming with a brush, and perhaps even basecoating a mini or two, or the base.
Passing child labour as quality time: a true classic.

Here's what I managed to get done on the weekend. He's so much fun to paint! Any c&c would be greatly appreciated. The colour of the fur is currently a hideous mistake and will be changed.

Brandlin · « **Reply #14 on:** October 17, 2012, 08:44:04 PM »

Heyyyy... You're not supposed to put paint on them! I thought I was the only one!

Nice smooth coverage there. Personally I quite like the fur colour, but it might be camera-colour rather than real-colour?

Wings · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2012, 11:45:03 PM »

I thought you were looking a little lonely there and might like some company.

You've still painted far more than me, even with all the traumatic stripping of paint.

The fur is a lot more vivid in real life. I might paint up the jacket and then see, but orange is not a good colour.

It makes me think of orange shag carpet. Kind of awesome, actually.

Wings · « **Reply #17 on:** October 18, 2012, 10:46:16 PM »

Hmm... I'll leave the fur be for the moment then and see what it looks like when I've done everything else. Thanks for the feedback!

DRAGON · « **Reply #18 on:** October 19, 2012, 09:30:49 AM »

I really like that -nice job

Toosh · « **Reply #19 on:** October 24, 2012, 11:55:54 PM »

Hmmmm, I feel a bar room brawl coming up. These male-types get so hot under the collar when there's a pretty lady to impress

Nice start with the ogre; good luck with the scene!

Curious Plankton · « **Reply #20 on:** October 26, 2012, 08:44:30 PM »

Anymore ogre goodness yet?

Wings · « **Reply #21 on:** October 26, 2012, 10:00:26 PM »

I did some more painting last weekend but haven't managed to get camera, me, and mini in the same house at the same time. I will try this weekend! I'm hoping to start Gayle too.

Wings · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2012, 09:53:35 PM »

So I *completely* forgot about taking more photos of the Ogre now that he's got a painted jacket and everything, but I have a photo of Gayle. I took some slightly better ones but then did more painting so sadly this is the most up to date one. C&C greatly appreciated! I plan to do a fair amount more work on her to smooth out everything and up the contrast.

beefcake · « **Reply #23 on:** November 05, 2012, 10:46:25 PM »

That's awesome. I take it that's a mop she's holding. It looks good but if it's on the floor it should have it's mop-bits splayed out on the ground.
The hair colour is looking good.

Wings · « **Reply #24 on:** November 06, 2012, 11:34:02 AM »

I know... I'll do more work on it I think when I've created the base. I've been having great difficulties holding her still.

Thanks for the praise though.
