Finally

[theoriginalblurker]

I've started painting again.

I just finished an old style Ankheg.  At least I think it's an Ankheg; I'm sure drangelo will let me know if I'm wrong.  I had started it a long time ago, right before my painting muse fled.

Recently I've been wanting to paint, but I've been afraid to start anything for fear of screwing it up.  Luckily, I have a few unfinished pieces, once of which was this really crappy Ankheg fig.  I spent a few nights working on it, and finally based it last night.  It's not great, but it's not too bad.  and now I'm ready to tackle the other unfinished pieces, which happen to be really nice figs.

Looks like I'm back!


EDIT:  This is an Ankheg.  This is an Umber Hulk, which is what I actually painted.

Thanks, drangelo!.

Post some frickin' pictures, girl. I'm 360 miles of swamp away, and I wanna see.

It's not good enough to photograph. Wait until I finish the Rakshasa and the "big magic guy with the basket on his back and the monkey with the coffee mug skull." (You'll have to ask Ang what that one is called.)

In D&D, the big guy is an ogre mage, although he'd be more likely to be called an oni in mythology, and the coffee-mug thing is a kappa.

Wow, you got all that from her description? I can see guessing the kappa, but how on earth did you get from "big magic guy" to "ogre mage"? And hmm, ogre mages are basically oni, aren't they... although a little googling shows that there was something called a wang-liang in some supplement that was an "oriental ogre mage". And wow, this perfectly innocuous entry scored 8 "spelling errors" when I told lj to "Check spelling during preview"!

I've seen the fig she's working on.
