Fig Painting

[theoriginalblurker]

schroedingerbat came over Saturday for our second painting party, and I was determined to complete the last two figs I had sitting around partially painted from when I stopped painting (five?) years ago. The figs that have been hanging over my head for so long are a Rakshasa and an Ogre Mage with a Kappa familiar - and now they are DONE! (will add links to pics when I get a chance to photograph the figs).

I also really wanted to get a couple of book-imps painted for krosehart to choose from on Friday when we resume our current face to face game. Her wizard, Minx, has just gotten a book-imp familiar and schroedingerbat found four of them to choose from. We chose two out of the four that we liked best, and I painted them with two different color schemes for krosehart to choose between. Each of the imps has an open book with them, and I was able to paint them as though they had an initial illuminated letter in "gold leaf" at the beginning of each page. After some pondering, I used her initials, one on each page, as the illuminated letters. I hope she likes at least one of them!

Either way, I feel accomplished!!

Full marks for folks who are still (or again) painting!

I'm still proud of a kitbashed Rakshasa that I used on a party several years back, that I told the players was WYSIWYG and let them go from there. It was a plastic mini built from GW Mordheim Imperials, unremarkable except for the tigerskin cloak and the fact that I'd carefully switched the hands to the opposite arms.
