Mage Progress

I've decided to make this hard on myself and paint the robes with dragon scales. It is tedious work, which I'm not use to when it comes to miniature painting. After I finish painting the scales I will do a violet glaze to smooth out the transitions, it should look a lot better than it does now. I just bought some orange paint, so the process should speed up. I'm also getting closer to finishing my first Dragon Prince of Caledor.

Next WIP

I've started on the main body of the mage. I'm thinking about doing either some form of flame freehand on his robes or perhaps scales. I'm holding off for the rest of the day. I'll decide tomorrow, maybe. I also worked more on the base, which I will post tomorrow. Until then here is my progress.

Crystal Brush Entry 1 WIP

So, a couple of weeks ago I decided to enter the Crystal Brush painting competition. My first idea was to enter the fantasy unit category. I was planning on entering a unit of High Elf Dragon Princes of Caledor. I planned to use an airbrush on my entry, so I broke down and bought one off Amazon. I used it to prime the models, unfortunately. I ended up with fuzz on the models somehow and now they are unusable for the Crystal Brush, so I decided to just use them for my High Elf army instead, which is where they were headed if they didn't place anyway.

After that I decided to go easy on myself and start off in the single miniature fantasy category. I say easy because it is easiest to paint a single mini, but it is the hardest category to win since it IS so easy to paint a single model, lots of people enter that category. I decided to enter a High Elf mage from the Island of Blood box set for Warhammer Fantasy Battle.

Here are a few work in progress shots.
