Maudeheim & Environs, Part II: Updated 06/30/16

Thanks, theomar!    
The Tree will be getting some additional attention. It should reach new heights of gnarliness.   

Wow al, all those fantastic little interior details, love it!

Thanks, Ben! I find interiors to be a bit intimidating; I'm glad you like it. I figured the Bad Moon would be the thing you'd tune in on...shows what I know.   

Jap al, seems you know my taste for details, AND man, i didnt saw the applecore, WOW, that makes the bad moon the best piece of terrain ever made by yourself!

Thanks again, Ben!    
With the Infamous Seedy Jon Apfel at large, there will be apple cores showing up all over the place.     

Oh were there but a crypt below to journey to!

The boneyard is really coming along. The Badmoon Chapel is such a great detail, and I see Mr Apfel is doing some light reading of nights.

Thanks V.K.! The subterranean rooms are on the agenda...one will definitely be a Laboratory of a most sinister aspect.
The apple cores are a nice little story thread to weave through The Project. Herr Apfel will have some followers soon...the Rotten Belles from Wyrd.   

phantasmagoric stuff! I like it a lot.

You sure do have your very own old school style of painting. It brings to mind movies like the dark crystal and labyrinth. So different from my own gruffy painting style.

Good work old sport!

Thanks, Alex...glad you like the stuff. It isn't every day that you get a chance to use "phantasmagoric" in a sentence.    
My style is a blend of all the artistic things I've come to love from Henson & Burton to Bugs Bunny with a good shot of my own view of it all. A strong sense of the absurd is the major element to my style.   

SO here's what The Shanty Town & Graveyard look like together:







I hope to be able to take a Group Portrait with all five boards sometime over the weekend to REALLY knock your socks off. Until then you kind comments would warm my wizened old heart...so to speak.   

Great birds eye view, I love the colors!

Oh BABY! Even allowing for the foibles of the CameraofContrariness, those are super fun gaming boards. I am looking forward with great anticipation to the view of all five.     

Thanks for the kind replies, Guys! Posting on Fridays is oft times an exercise in futility.

I'm delighted you like my colors...I do have a tendency to go vivid. While the photos are a little blurry, I was surprised how close to reality the colors came out.

Captain John & I are planning on setting up a 2' X 8' board on a couple of saw horses either in the backroom or, weather permitting, outdoors. with some fudging I can squeeze 9' of terrain on an 8' board...or not. I figure if I maintain the present rate of production I can have a shelf board that circles the house. How's that for a line of retreat?   

SO, as threatened, here are a few ASTOUNDINGLY MEDIOCRE photos of the first five board sections all together:














There you go; that gives you, my Fellow Forum Folk, a fairly go impression of the way it all comes together thus far. Of course this is only the beginning. As things develop further posts will be inflicted upon you. Until then you kind comments would be most welcome...or you can just break an Old Man's heart.   

OH BABY! My that's grand! Its good to get a sense of the layout. I tend to think in 4x8 terms. Now I want to spend some time looking back through the threads to see the details again.

Thanks, V.K.; I appreciate the enthusiastic response. Although the Ever Contrary Camera was less than cooperative, the photo shot wasn't all that far off the mark. If you spot anything you'd like a better view of, let me know. I'm hoping to add some further details to the existing boards while I come up with some ideas for the new ones.   

Beautiful work Deaf

Hey, Foot! It's good to see you...in a manner of speaking! I'm glad you like the stuff.   

Holy sweet mother of Odin!!! That is a beautiful gamming board! I love the town the most. You have amazing talent! WOW. I would love to have a game on this table. I'd bring my camera take tons of pictures. It would be worth the trip to cross the boarder!

I have always liked your Maudeheim style and seeing larger sets of it is amazing! That would be a great table to play on or even just visually explore for a while.

Thanks MUCHO for the kind comments, Guys! If either or both of you find yourselves in the Austin area, it would be a pleasure to have you stop by for a game or, at the very least, a tour of The Project.   

Oh whoaw!

Words fail to describe the sheer... somethingness... can't find the good wording, but it's positive, that's for sure!

What baffels me most if the way all those warm, vibrant, clashing colours tie together nicely to make something very, very spooky and unsettling

Thanks, Quase; I'm glad you like it! I think the vivid shades convey a certain eerie, disturbing surrealism to the scenes simply because they aren't expected; they make it an alien landscape. That's a fortunate twist for moi as I find doing subdued shades to be almost impossible.   

Hej al, great view on all those fantastic gaming tiles, wow, looks like a game on this table will take longer than a day. Love it!,   

oh man, and foot is back, great, one of the most inspiring peaple on this forum to me, lets see some of you latest work foot!

Thanks, Ben! I can see a game staring at one end of the table & climaxing in a dramatic style at the other end several days later...this may be a hallucination.

Amen to that!
