Still working on that harpy-elf hybrid. Got most of the flesh dome (and that's 2/3rd of the whole paintjob here), but still need to do highlights on the elf/reptile flesh tone transition areas (lower legs and left forearm). You see, the highlight tones will have to be mixed - and alot. Not satisfied with how the transitions came out - they are a bit too drawn out in comparison with what I intended. Well, better luck next time.
The contest I am entering her in has suffered a little shook up as some immature retard has tried to enter pictures he just stole from the net - well, I am not dumb to forget a particularly well-done miniature, especially when the contestant's name looks like it was just slapped on in MS Paint. Locating the proof took me an hour, but when I was done, the stupid kid was right on the way to banning. Serves him right, for cheating in a prizeless contest.
Raziel miniature has suffered a minor setback - the crozius arm had the accident of falling to the floor, and me stepping on it before I noticed. Damage isn't too extensive, fortunately, but it will still take extra time to fix.
Got another Canoness blister - for _another_ SoB conversion I am planning on (basically to use the headless miniature that was the source of the head for Amelia Stramm convo). Seems like I'll be sculpting the head by myself - wonder how terrible the result will be.
Oh, and today I have finally got my hands on Daemonifuge: Heretic Saint - looks like my local Independent Stockist managed to order the novel after all. Seems like I'm in for a busy evening, night and morning.

Thanks Krooza and everyone - seems my resolutions got bent a bit, but I'm getting new armies done: Tomb Kings and friends Dark Eldar Aeronefs and Land Ironclads... and now it's time for some Epic.... The Titans are coming.

Huzzah! Heckling you to produce more to inspire me to keep going is the only way I get anything done
I'm an idiot. |
No, you are an ambitious man with more imagination than time

Nearing completion on that nasty girl. Some experiments with layering on havily diluted paint gave positive results on the transitions, and I am nearly done with the face. Still unsure as to the eyes, though - soulless empty whites work well, but I still cannot get the old concept from my mind (green or yellow iris, slit pupils, scale-like spots of green around the corner of the eye).

Nah, don't listen to them 'V', you're an idiot
Sounds good TFH, don't forget to link some pics when you're done.
Me, I was Blood Angeling over the weekend, a Landraider, 4 whirlwinds, 3 Rhinos, an Assault Squad, a Dev Squad and a Tac Squad. Must say I was pleased to get that lot out of the way.
