After a2 month hiatus I'm hoping I'm back into productive form. It's probably best that I warm up to posting regularly (and painting!) prior to the onset of the 6MMRPC.
Once again I've bashed out a Reaper Bones figure as part of the Caffeineforge challenge. The detailing on this guy was pretty fun. He has ridiculous amounts of leather satchels & bags, plus the archery gear, weapons, wizard reference text, langern, shield, fried chicken and cask of delicious beverage. And a blanket roll. I only assume the pair of knives strapped to his boot are his own personal equipment, rather than the gear his is obviously lugging for some adventurer.
To be sure, this load out reads like something off a RPG character sheet, with little regard for carrying requirements (encumbrance is usually SO TEDIOUS to track).
To critique the paint job: I'm pretty happy with how the face turned out. I forgot to highlight the blue sleeves, but I expect this guy would get pretty grubby. I'm torn as to whether I should have done some more types of green on the bottle. Unhappy with the axe near his face (too start the dirty side), and the ground could use some love.
Overall though, I decent enough table top standard for a lackey figure. Onwards!
The face is my fav part of your paintjob - you've given him a rather petulant expression and it fits his role perfectly.
ReplyDeleteHah! I wish I could say it was all part of the plan, but it was merely great fortune. Nicely pointed out though, he doesn't look too impressed at all.
DeleteI actually just got those figure cleaned up and based for this round of the challenge. Fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I guess I'm being a bit lazy by not bothering with any extra basing for the bones stuff. It may look a bit scattered if I start fielding it on the table together.
