Happy weekend all! (Well almost at this point)

Pledge wise I should have the Frostgrave rule book showing up today so I pledge to get my first games in this weekend!

If it’s not overstepping how about these for questions?

1. When painting do you start with a plan in mind for your color scheme, go with the flow, work off reference material, enjoy the look of grey plastic/metal to much to ever cover it, etc?

2. What’s your favorite month and why?

3. Do you have a permanent spot to hobby at, setup and tear down prior to getting your craft on, have a mobile station to take your creativity on the road, leave a trail of rubble in your wake, etc?

 

For me…

1. Usually I paint Sci-fi/Fantasy so I pin down the main colors in my head along with a rough idea of where they’re going and then go with the flow from there.  At this point I have a lot of “go to” colors for accessories (ex. leather bags, weapons, etc) but I try and mix it up too.  For real world stuff, usually animals, I’ll check out some reference materials so I’m in the right ballpark.

2. Going with March for this one.  Feels like the world is waking up after winter (here in the northern side of the marble anyway) and those sporadic first warm days each feel like something special.  It’s also unpredictable and you can be out in a tee-shirt one day and getting snowed on the next.  Oh and it’s named for a war god.

3. I’ve got a spot I setup in the basement but these days never use it.  I’d say I’m a nomad in that I’ll find a spot, cover it in project parts, paints and other stuff and then eventually pack it all up and move somewhere else.
