The title says it all so first let me share some pictures with you and then I’ll share some thoughts on this project on the whole afterwards. I should start off by saying that I’m using a new background for these photos and I’m curious what you all think about it. I used photo paper … Continue reading The Blood Elf Project – Done!
As the title promises, I think this is going to be my second to last update on this project. I’ve got two pieces left to paint and assemble and I’m feeling pretty confident that I’ll have this done in a week or so. There isn’t too much to say about the latest progress this time … Continue reading The Penultimate Blood Elf Update
It has been a really up and down couple of weeks on the Blood Elf Project. I’ve made really steady progress on it and can see the end (finally) but there were some really big mishaps along the way. First, let’s take a look at something that came together smoothly. This back-piece was easy to … Continue reading A Rollercoaster of Elven “Excitement”
Its been an exciting and nerve-wracking week but ultimately I have some major progress to show off this time around. I somehow powered through painting the back of the Elf’s torso which was daunting because I had to glaze the other side of the cloak. Thankfully, the cloak didn’t take too long. I don’t know … Continue reading Ulthuan’s Glory Grows
It has been a fun week painting wise as I’ve finally been able to tackle the elf in earnest and see some real progress. I’m excited to share this week’s progress even if it is only one picture. There were a lot of fine details to work on this week but I have to say … Continue reading The Elk’s Rider and Board Game Excitement
I can’t possibly describe everything that has gone on since my last update, so I won’t bother! I will say that the wedding went well for the most part and while there were a few issues here and there, they were minor compared to how difficult planning it was. I think we were lucky to … Continue reading The Blood Elf Journey Continues…
I have a little bit of time post-wedding to update the old website so I thought I’d take advantage of it. Instead of my usual painting progress, I wanted to write what I would probably classify as a personal essay. It relates to my main hobby that I discuss here which is miniature wargaming but … Continue reading Hobby Madness
Let’s start with a quick update the Elf project. I made what feels like immense progress this week yet again and am pretty much at the point where I won’t have to paint many more “repeat” parts now which is great. While initially I didn’t think the gems looked as good as the other side, … Continue reading The Elk and Setbacks
Another week and more progress on the all-consuming elf project. I’m working on the other side of the elk which isn’t as exciting but is possibly a bit more relaxing since I have a pretty good idea of what I’m doing with it. I also knocked out the red armor parts which is by far … Continue reading The Far Side of the Elk
I’m going to run out of creative titles for this mini one of these days but at least that day is not today! After finishing the synth, I surprised myself when I started to feel drawn to go back to the elf project. I’m glad I did as I have more or less finished everything … Continue reading The Return of the Elf
