By the way, I forgot to share the news: the entire print run of this engraving is sold out. But there are still the last two prints from the edition, No.3 and No.12, linocuts "Crescent"

Miniature Painting Retrospective (2023)

2023 has been a hell of a year, but it had one upside to it, namely that this was the year I got into miniature painting. The downsides are money spent on plastics and paints and my ever-increasing piles of shame, but what mini lover doesn't deal with that 🤣

I'm a relatively new painter. I began painting in the second quarter of this year, and I haven't exactly done it every day or even every week, though I think I've improved greatly nonetheless. This is a retrospective post with some examples I've painted this year, what I learned, what I'd do better, and goals for the future.

-----------------

April 2023

Despite the many pages of ramblings on my blog, I did not actually get into miniatures because of Warhammer 40K, it was Dark Souls that got me to pull the trigger 😂 I love, love, love Dark Souls, when I realized there was a boardgame and people painted the plastic figures that came with them I had to get me some of that. I've actually posted these before on my DS sideblog, so if you've seen them around somewhere else 'twas I who was responsible, but these are the very first minis I've ever painted.

Siegward of Catarina was painted almost entirely with contrasts and metallics. I wanted to give him the really rusted look like Catarina Armour has in DS3. Solaire was painted similarly, except I didn't really get how to 'paint white' or 'paint yellow' or to use ink to fill in the sunface, so his chest is woefully incomplete. I thought of stripping him to start over, but have since decided against it; what I'll likely do is to get another Solaire and do the better job with that one. It's good to see where you began. Gives perspective.

-----

May 2023

I began properly looking up painting tutorials around this time. Coincidentally, this was the first time I began to really feel like I knew what I was doing 🤣

Eygon of Carim was painted almost entirely with drybrushing, save for the brown cloth, which was my first attempt at wet blending + adding wear and tear and scratches to simulate realism. He was drybrushed with a gunmetal grey then tinted with Black Templar for the majority of his dark armour, then drybrushed with silver to highlight the edges. His shield and mace followed the same procedure, except they were sponged with bronze later.

All of the models so far remain unbased to this day... I am not very good at remembering to base my models

-----

June 2023

Got into 6mm historicals (Anglo-Saxon/Vikings) during this period, which I don't have a picture of as those are currently in a storage box we stashed away for the Christmas holidays (guests staying over 😖).

Had another go at painting an Onion Knight, however, this time of Catarina Armour than Siegward specifically. Siegward has a longer Zweihander and a more detailed look. I wanted to give this version a clean look, and he was painted in a much more traditional style, following the base + shading + highlights + edge highlights method. No contrasts nor drybrushing, though the shield was mildly sponged with black. I'm proud of this one.

-----

July 2023

Got into Warhammer during this period. Had a break from painting as I tried to read and digest WH40K necron lores/novels, then became attracted to some of the full-size models, as well as building an army for Epic Armageddon. Shown above are some 6mm necron warriors, Immortals, Flayed Ones, and pariahs I painted as an example at this time. They are very, very small and very delicate and I love them your honour

I'm especially happy with the Flayed Ones. I'm actually using those to make a small Twice-Dead King diorama atm, I'll get some more made for the actual army. The pariah models have that warscythe design with a hole (?) in the middle but I... don't??? like the hole??? so I just filled them in with milliput and painted them up similarly to glaives instead

I also obtained a larger Dancer of the Boreal Valley model. She is in the pile of shame. I am afraid to begin painting her now that I've been staring at her for so long 😖😖😖

-----

August - September 2023

I............. ghghgghgghggg

The pile grows. At least I gave Orikan his green marble interior design???

Started doing 28mm historicals in early Sep. When it comes to the actual gaming aspect of this hobby, I have played way more historicals than I've ever played Warhammer or the Dark Souls Boardgame; I play SAGA with my sig. other, and he got me into Chain of Command, though I'm playing solely with the models he painted for that one (since he has been in this hobby for many, many more years than I). Here's a berserkr I painted and based up. NMM chainmail and glazed fur detail, the rock/ground based with cork.

-----

September 2023

Still doing historicals. My Viking warlord, rock based with foam, need to add some grass on there or something. Otherwise very very happy with how he turned out. I keep going back and forth between giving him a shield, since I love painting shields, but I also don't want to obscure the main details of his body. All metallic details are NMM.

Note the scabbard and the glint of his sword. I'm not super good at NMM yet, but I can do tiny glints and details like these.

An example of general warriors, huscarls, etc. I have about 50 men in varying states of completion. These are all Victrix models. Every one of those shields are freehanded. They make for very good practice because they're a nice, well-defined flat surface. I'm really proud of those.

-----

October - November 2023

My beloved Tea Space Marine brothers 😂☕ I've posted about those before (x, x, x) - the Arizona Tea dude is not yet done because I actually need to give him a banner and paint up his base, and during December I was too occupied with other creative activities to work on him. They are the first Space Marines I've ever painted and tbh I don't find them the easiest to paint (???) but they're some of the best fun I've had so far!

I want to make a whole series of those, not just of Space Marines or even the Imperium. I might do more porcelain, they're really fun to pose next to tea-things. The teacup Marine was painted a gloss white (after being primed not-white 😨) then freehanded with royal blue, with Retributor Armour being the gold. The Arizona Tea Marine was painted emerald with pink edges, tinted in places with Magos Purple, then freehanded with various shades of plum blossom-esque colours. Still wondering what design his banner ought to be.

-----

That's it for 2023. Next year I want to do the following things.

Finish up the Epic Armageddon necron army, complete with vehicles (300-400 points).

Finish the Dancer of the Boreal Valley statuette (because that's what she is at that scale, she's the biggest model I have, it's part of why I got intimidated lmao).

Get better at NMM.

Apply aforementioned NMM techniques to necrons on the pile of shame that are not painted.

Learn how to airbrush.

Obtain at least 6 points' worth of guys for a SAGA Viking army, then paint them up and base them properly.

Base my minis properly, full stop 🥴

Looking forward to some fun painting sessions next year!!! 💖

Out of the eater came something to eat, and out of the strong came something sweet.

This bright sunface watches over the ritual of bugonia in which an ox is killed and bees generate from its body. The different myths surrounding the idea that bees will spontaneously generate from an animal body get a little confused. There is also a story in the bible that refers to Sampson killing a lion and bees arise from the carcass. This illustration conflates the myths by showing both lion and ox. The author of this book, Pierre Pomet, includes this illustration but states that "this extraction appears to be very wide of truth," in other words he doesn't believe it either.

Don't you think it's dangerous to let murderers fixate on you? What if one of them decided they don't want to behave for you anymore?

They'll behave for me. That's the reason I'm head raider, and why I have the group I do. We're basically the dangerous animal act in the Redwood circus. We're tame scavengers, we're basically domesticated Reavers and Daybreakers and Sunfacers.

If you find it unsettling when I put it that way, that's a good thing. And they behave for me because I'm the biggest and baddest motherfucker out of them and we all know it.

starter for: @isaacapatow location: a few miles south of Redwood Trudging through the desolate, abandoned area outside of Redwood was a welcome distraction. Isaac had suggested it, going out and looking for a coffee roasting company that was said to have a location somewhere nearby. Coffee was finite - with limited resources and the climate, they couldn't cultivate it, so it was something they had to loot. And with everything currently happening, Redwood could use a lot of coffee. Orion was as watchful as ever as they traversed the lands southbound, watching the path ahead as well as listening to any sign of walkers or hostile scavengers. His gaze was firmly directed at the path they were following, trusting Isaac enough to keep watch of their rear. Orion hadn't mentioned Virginia or Sol to his raiding partner, nor the fact that Tristan had returned, because there wasn't much to say there. Virginia was dead. There wasn't any changing that. Tristan - Orion didn't like thinking about it, but he forced himself to because what was the point in running away from it? Tristan was probably dead too. They needed to face that. And Orion assumed that Isaac knew that too, and that the best course of action was pushing on and not getting caught up in what could have been. "Wait." Orion's voice was quiet, little less than a murmur, as he suddenly stopped. They were still a mile from their supposed destination, but something had caught Orion's attention. He held up his hand for Isaac to be quiet and tilted his head, closing his eyes as he listened. He could hear footsteps. Coming closer. "People. Heading towards us. Let's go." Orion motioned for Isaac to follow him, taking shelter behind the gutted remenants of a car nearby. An encounter with strangers was risky. They had only been hidden for a few moments when Orion, risking a quick glance over the car's hood, saw two figures approaching. "An adult and a child. Heading... west. Not visibly armed." Orion noted as he watched the two people. It was hard to make out their faces from a distance - the adult looked about Isaac's age, eyes directed in the front. The child seemed to be a teenager, though his face was directed towards the ground. Something was off - and Orion found himself instinctively reaching for his gun. The guy was holding the child by the hand, even though the child seemed old enough to walk. Orion narrowed his eyes as he watched them, and when the kid raised his head and opened his mouth to say something- "Sunface." Orion slipped back behind the car. The kid's mouth had been covered in blood, dripping down his chin when he spoke. Orion heard a faint, garbled 'emzee' coming from the kid, as if to confirm. The raider grabbed his gun. "We could follow them. They could lead us to something useful." Or kill the guy right here. And see if they could save the child.

hmmm… does prairieclaw still kill redtail? how many victims does he have?

Yes! In my current draft, he has two direct victims and 10 indirect victims! His two are Redtail and Sunface (Lionheart). His ten indirect are as follows:

Wildfire (Public Execution)

Gorgepaw (Under Timberstar's command, killed)

Stonefur (Public Execution)

Crookedstar (Ordered assassination by Timberstar and Leopardstar)

Shimmerpelt I (Public Execution, treason)

Carptail (Public Execution, treason)

Brick

Bone III

Crowstar (One life, Wounds)

Whitestorm (Wounds)

Timberstrike's crimes are very interesting for me to write, especially when he has such contradicting views. He hates outsiders, but when he becomes an outsider, he understands for a moment. If things had gone differently, then maybe he would have left the Vigils altogether. But, he didn't.

My new project has arrived. I initially thought Eygon would be easy to paint, given how much of his overall look could be passed off as black metal - but now, looking at him up close, I’m thinking that might not be a good idea. He’s going to need significantly more browns (esp. on Moaning Shield?) and edge highlights to make him pop. Time to go watch some more tutorials I guess 🥴

Can’t be harder than trying to figure out how to paint on Solaire’s sunface. That sun is tiny, at most 2mm diameter, and the lines would need to be minuscule. SFG makes such good minis and I am stoked to have Eygon around

Stevie purchased this bolo tie on May 22, 1987 in Phoenix before performing there that evening. The original cost was $225, on sale from $375. The semi-precious stones are set in sterling silver. He wore it on stage many times, including when he appeared with Stevie Wonder for the Characters TV special.

Stevie is wearing this bolo tie in the Randy Jennings photo which Fender used in it's four-poster series advertising their Signature Stratocaster line of guitars.

The sun god, or sunface, design is found in Zuni and Hopi Native American tradition, and symbolizes happiness. Another reference says that it represents peace and positive energy. Colors in the sunface designs indicate harmony: red is the earth, blue is sky or air, and turquoise is water. The black points represent the sun's rays.
