Maudeheim & Environs, Part III: Updated 06/14/20

They aren't the biggest ones I have done, but they are a good, healthy size...for something that unhealthy looking that is.

OH BABY!!! The trees are great!

Thanks for the enthusiastic reply, Jim. I'm happy you like them. I have an open spot on the Spooky Woods Board I want to fill & a background woodsy thing I want to make for photos. SO I'll be doing some Trees along with the rest of the projects.

Great trees!!
And really scary...

Thanks MUCHO for the kind reply, Dragonhunter. I am glad you like them.

Ihave been zipping along with the Twin Spooky Trees. A Monk/Hermit (Dark Hold Goblin) was painted up as the resident sage:




...he is a towering 10 mm in height. Next to his abode for a size check:


Now the just-about-finished Trees:










I have some mushroom in the works for the Beasties. Then I'll add grass tofts, a dry brush, & some odd(?) details.

Well that went quickly. The Twins are now done:








...AND closeups:


...the Little Hermit is spotted:








...there you go. Pleasant dreams!

OH BABY!

Those are seriously scary trees!

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jim. I am glad you like them!

I really like those trees!!

Thanks for the reply, Dragonhunter. The morale boost is appreciated. I am glad you like them.

THANKS, for the kind reply RAT! I'm glad you feel that way; the morale boost is appreciated.

Some truly stunning work! Really creative and original concept, great execution! I love the sculpting, as well as the paintjobs, they complement eachother well!

Thanks for the kind reply, Tall! I am delighted you like the stuff.

I took some additional artsy photos of the Trees by the Witches' Shanty Town:










...there you go.

I'm really glad to see this is still going.

Thank you for the kind reply, Friedrich. I will keep adding to my threads for as long as my heart continues to beat...give or take a beat. I am happy you are enjoy it.

Those trees are gorgeous

Thanks the reply, Jim. I am delighted you like them...I must admit I'm rather pleased with them myself. I can feel an addition to The Spooky Woods coming on.

My latest project is making short, narrow boards with for shortened backgrounds. These will serve as bridges between full sized boards, AND stages for photos, that latter being their main function.
The first of the boards is a Mushroom Forest. Here is where it stands as of right now:


...the Mushroom in the middle ground:


...AND a hint at the creepiness to come:




...updates later...perhaps.

Yes, the eyes suspended in the wall are really creepy.   I like the texture of the mushroom caps.

Woot! More creepiness! This is going to be cool!

Thanks, Codsticker. Some of the eyes will have disembodied faces that will blend in with the gloomy background tones.
The texture of the caps is just an application of Woodland Scenic Foam Putty over the florist foam balls...it is a nice easily achieved effect.

Thanks, Jim. I have hopes for the beasty.
After this one I'll do either a Spooky Woods or, more likely, a back street connecting the Blight & Twisted Tower boards.

This how things stood at the end of the yesterday. The first of the faces appeared:


...these will blend in with the background gloom except for the glowing eyes:




...AND the Twisty Mushrooms got some attention as well:


...seen here with his larger associate:


...more later...or not.

Looking at those faces reminds me of the description of twisted faces frozen into the sides of the crater in the Mordheim rule book.
