The Gangs of Maudeheim, Part II 02/09/21

Happy Thanksgiving Al! The dragon is coming along nicely

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, Jim.
After spending a day playing around with the wings, I decided to leave them unadorned for now.
I may revisit them sometime or other or not, but for now the Faerie Dragon is done.
I took some photos of the Beasties in the Spooky Woods:












I used the retouch feature of The Camera of Continual Contrariness. The colors are closer to actual,
although the backgrounds got darker. C'est la vie, eh?!  

fantastic painting and photos DN.

Thank you, Harrocks. I am happy you like the Dragon & Friends. I have been told my photos don't do my miniatures any favors.

well they look great to me - particularly the close-ups (this time), where one can't see the 'stage' surrounds.
they begin to suggest a sense of narrative immediately.

Thanks again. I am glad you like them.

Love the color!

Thanks, Jim. Farerie/Fairy Dragon have a hallucinogen gas breath weapon. The colors are all part of that.

I have a couple of cluttered miniatures by forgotten mini maker's underway. I'll post pic when they are complete to avoid the jinx factor.
I have done a couple of additional large bases for either large minis or small groups. One is a tree stump base:




The other is a sewer base for the upcoming Vemina Sisters' Rat Gang:




The big bases now awaiting miniatures:




...more whenever.

Those are fantastic.

Thanks, cornishlee. I am glad you like them. Making bases is a favorite thing with me. ...some actually get used...occasionally.

Those will be great bases- little mini-dioramas.

they look spellbinding.

having read your LAF post, sounds like you live in a nice spot DN.

Thanks, Codsticker. They may ver well wind up as vignettes/dioramas. Little scenes make nice situation or objective markers in game's terms...I just do them for the fun of it all.

Thanks, Harrocks. I am happy you like them...LAF is a splendid forum, isn't it?
I was very pleasantly surprised by Texas. Cap'n John's house is just off a nice sized stream that flows into Lake LBJ. The neighborhood is in a good sized grove of old pecan & living oak tress. The oaks are evergreens; so there is always some greenery even in the Winter.

In the early morning hours, long before the inhabitants of the Goblin Quarter begin to stir, a lonely figure shuffles along:




The Prophet of The Blight:






...an enigmatic figure to be sure. I think he was called The Seven Sins: Desire, but I have been wrong before.
He was made by either Laughing Monk or possibly Black Cat although in either case he is no longer available.
Don't you just love a good mystery?  

sounds a cheery soul.
lovely models.

...he does look seriously depressed/depressing. Glad you like him anyway, Harrocks.

Great looking big bases! (I'd call them scatter terrain...)

Thanks, Jim...glad you like them.

Ha! This library computer is slow to load. It never showed me the Prophet of the Blight.

OH BABY!

Thanks, Jim. I can relate with the slow load. I am happy you liked him once he appeared.

After sitting patiently, like their Mystery Brethren, for more than a decade, the Fearless Fairy Hunters are finally finished. Seen here in The Spooky Woods:












Sometimes after I finish a piece that has spent a long time waiting in the wings, I get a wonderful feeling of release.
With his one I have the feeling I can finish anything I set my mind to.  

well, there's a story evoked by that little vignette for sure!

fantastic painting and modelling - and, again, photography!

Thanks for the reply, Harrocks. I am happy you enjoy the miniature AND the photos.
The piece does have a tale or two to tell. It is one of the things that drew me to the piece.

Woot!

I usually take a nap.
