Blog The Grove: Personal and Commission Works

Finished up this Hordes army! Going to work on 40 Temple Guard for a couple of weeks, then I should be working on more Hordes from the same client!

 

Had some free time so I base coated 40 Temple Guard.... Ill be honest... not looking forward to these guys.

 

That should keep you busy for a while. Good luck on those guys!

 

A giant unit like that is always intimidating... I try to do big units in stages but normally that means it takes me months, or years, to finish anything. I feel your pain!

 

Yes I had to take a change of pace. I finished the highlights on this guys as well a the skulls on their heads as well as shields, etc. I started doing the weapons and realized this is going to take a long time. I am going to pick up a commission Saturday and will need to take a pause on these guys. When I paint I feel I need to finish something to feel accomplished. So before my commission I decided to look through my models (I have a ton unpainted) and I pulled out a Wood Elves Spell Weaver. I am currently going to work on her because I should be able to get it done by Saturday. Then I will have something new to throw up in my glass case!

 

That green cloak is really nice!!

 

This looks awesome

 

Ugh I wanted to finish up yesterday but couldnt. Hopefully I will have time to paint today and call this done!

 

Looks great, amazing highlighting. Love the smooth transitions.

 

If anyone's played league of legends - doesn't this model remind them of Jana? it just hit me just now

Edit: Jana has 90% less clothing though

 

I can see it hahahaha!

 

Next time you do one of these you should totally try get her blue/white colour scheme

 

Real good blending! I specially like the base stones!

 

LOL I wanted to do green to make it more Wood Elf-ish. I dont play LoL so I don't really have any connection to that character. I just found that pic on google ;p

Agreed! Everyone says they like the cape, but I'm like man i really like the stone floor hahaha. I wanted to do something different with this one since the rest of my WE's have vegetation bases.

Final Pic:

Also messed around with terrain. I had extra flock and stuff I had no idea what to do with lol:

 

that is amazing!

Really like jana

 

I like the terrain! Lots of undergrowth, just like a jungle should be.

Also your spellsinger is beautiful. I loved the green.

 

Very well painting indeed! You're very talented I especially like your dark stegadon! Very inspiring.

 

Hey guys I got my next commission job this weekend. This is again from Warmachine Hordes, they are pretty cool models.

 

That looks to be going to turn out real awesome!!

 

I usually try and glue as much as I can before painting. I decided to leave the wings off because the fleshy part of the wings will be a pinkish color and I dont want to deal with over spray.
