The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted

The new season of Diablo 3 has taken over my brain and most of my free time.  I’ve done little else this week.  I havent touched the game in years and I’ve never done the Seasons before but I’m really enjoying it.  I’ve already done everything I set out to.  I unlocked the extra stash space which is all I wanted.  Problem is, I’m now one achievement away from completing everything and it’s a shame to leave it that way.  I need to do a 4 minute speed run of a Torment 13 normal rift.  I can do one in about 4mins 30 seconds so I’m now levelling up Legendary gems to buff all my gear.  This could take a while and I have until December-ish I think so hopefully I’ll focus more on my painting now.  We will see.  I always feel a few hours off the next target which is a problem.

Anyway.  Hobby.

I’ve primed all the models I built last week and while I had the airbrush out I did the base coat on the four guys wearing plate.  I’ve made some progress beyond that too.

I’ve had a new model turn up too.  The current MWF challenge mini is here and apparently I have to paint it using the Grisaille method (Do all the black and white preshading and then ink/glaize over the top).  I’ve done bits of this in the past without knowing that name.  He also wants a non-standard direction of lighting.  Should be interesting, although why he’s chosen a model with no visible light source and then asked for OSL and opted for a traditionally all black model for this I don’t know.

I won a prize from Januinevision a while back and it finally arrived.  I’ll look in to using these basing decorations on nicer pieces than these 3d printed D&D characters.  I’ve KDM tunring up in a couple of months.  Might be an opportunity to play around.  The chocolate was very nice.  Very rich.  I don’t normally like dark chocolate or whiskey but this worked for me.  I could certainly eat more.  I’ve used those flesh tones on the people above.  Not bad.  A good mid tone flesh range for rank and file.
