Everyone's Favorite Horseman of the Apocalypse

 I had a good time remembering how to paint. These are water-based acrylics made for painting models, called Vallejo's Game Color paints. When I do this again I think I'm going to get Citadel paints, and get an ink wash* this time.

*Ink washes are thinned paints which fall into the cracks of a model, making for easy shading. They can also provide a mostly transparent layer of color on top of another paint.

Death, Ready for Baking

I've spent 3-4 weeks on this guy, and I think he is ready to bake.

I really like making these models. If anyone has ideas of a character that I could make, I'm open to suggestions.

Death, now in 3D

While I work on getting the figurine fired, I have started a new project. I'm pretty excited about this guy. I need to spend a significant amount of time tightening up the form and details, but the final plan is to cook him (its made of super sculpey), and then paint him with acrylics.

I'm really liking the super sculpey. It feels like soft cheese. Along with a sturdy armature, it is a nice medium to work in.
