Chaplain Raeven Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 (edited) I've send out my victims package, and recieved my own carepackage at the same day! I'll snap the pictures tomorrow when I have some daylight. I don't know if Lostrael would mind if we post the pictures of recieved gifts already, while others are still in transit? Or would it be more polite to wait a bit longer to post all the eye candy, so it remains a suprise for each participant.

Chaplain Raeven Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I loved the gifted cookies Lostrael, but that damned Bladeguard wouldn't give them up without a fight!

Chaplain Raeven Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I'm sure Lostrael will post up pictures of a better quality (never got the hang of photography), but here is the model I recieved from our beloved painter. It's a lovely model that surpasses my own lads! The blending and freehand is unreal. Even with my eyes glued to the model, I can't tell if it's painted or a transfer. You're putting the lads next to him in the cabinet to shame! I'll be sure to use him as an HQ when I ever get back to playing the game. Not sure if I'll stick with the bare head or the helmet. I'll put the decision on hold until a suitable model appears on my desk for the additional head. The cookies were delicious too! The tin was already empty by the time I managed to take the pictures above A final 'thank you' for the gift Lostrael!

aura_enchanted Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 (edited) what i want to say before i mail this little fella off to his new home is that i honestly did not think i had this one, i in truth have not touched my brushes in some months, a hostile community in my home store, the death of a local online community tool for finding games, and covid 19 lockdowns have meant that foor all intensive purposes i havent painted in nearly a year if not more. i did this only with the love of support of a very special lady to me encouraging me to take on this task and motivating me to finish. my love for the lion and his sons has never waivers even once but i admit freely that i have not been all i could be and the hardships i face trying to get even a single match breaks my heart like it was made of glass. but will always be here in the B & the C somewhere and i will try to do better for all of you Edited December 17, 2021 by aura_enchanted Grotsmasha, Chaplain Raeven and Lostrael 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372307-secret-santa/page/2/#findComment-5773515 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you enjoy painting, focus on that for a bit instead of fighting for a game. You'll have a painted army by the time the circumstances change and your gaming community recovers again. If painting is just the means to an end, then I fear we can't help you with your particular issue. Give it some (or alot of) time, everything works out in the end. I'm happy that you like it. Find it still hard to get over that image with the finger... 'Blood for the blood god' looks surprisingly like the real deal, who would've guessed Have no fear, neither Bladeguard nor manchild has been hurt during the making of those pictures.

exsulis81 Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 what i want to say before i mail this little fella off to his new home is that i honestly did not think i had this one, i in truth have not touched my brushes in some months I've been the same. When covid hit, my painting desk got buried under the stuff my wife needed moved so she could work from home. Well, this helped motivate me to find new homes for the rubbish on my desk, and got to work. Sadly, several paints didn't survive the long storage. Had a few set backs but I got the model "done". I kept asking people if they thought it looked nice enough as a gift.

aura_enchanted Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Sorry you may need to give him a rinse, I apologize for my spartan packaging. I wanted to ensure you got him before Christmas and in 1 piece and I know he's not the fqnciest thing but I spent a little over 24hrs total on him. Picking pieces, trying out different poses and weapons configurations. Before finally settling on something that worked and wasn't going to delay me further and then paint him took another 2 days of patience. I take inspiration for my posing from artwork and preforming art such as stage work. In this case hes In a defensive pose as if to block a strike he has his gun raised in the other hand to both make him look more imposing and so he can shift to the gun should he need it unlike if he had it pointed down and at his side Edited December 27, 2021 by aura_enchanted exsulis81 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/372307-secret-santa/page/2/#findComment-5776435 Share on other sites More sharing options...

exsulis81 Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 You're welcome.

twopounder Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I'm still working on the model. Made pretty good progress, but having all my normal stuff packed away is making progress slower. I have to depend on natural light for a few hours a day or risk missing details.
