Title: Lizardman

Description: a lone lizardman armed with a stone spear bows in greeting. This model wasn't really painted *for* anything, rather it was just a way for me to try some exciting colours on a model I love

Title: Memento Mori

Description: A portrait of death in a field of nascent flowers. To bloom and to wither, the cycle is ever present.

Inspired by the Memento Mori trope in classical painting, a reminder that death is both inevitable and always lurking by.

The skeleton is taken whole from the kit. The brush was carved from a spear, with some epoxy putty used to sculpt the bristles. The palette is made with a bit of thin card.

Both easel and canvas are built out of plasticard, with a layer of thin drawing paper as the linen.

The painting on the canvas was done by hand, using the same acrylics employed on the rest of the model. Definitely the most time consuming task in the whole process.

Title: Lizardman air pirate

Discerption: another lizardman air pirate. I have one Perry’s Prussian short sword attached to his belt, everything else is WA Lizardmen kit parts including the pistol conversion except the base and freshener bead flocking.

Type: Single figure.

Note: due to technical reason I am going to try to add some better photos a little bit after initial posts.

Edit: now fifty percent less blurry grand canyon cryptid pics

...and cause I forgot side shots.

Title: Heraldic Shield Summoned beast.

Type: Diorama

Discerption: Ancient mystic shields with a heraldic monsters trapped inside are now being used by his majesty’s monster hunters. Shield beast parts mostly came from the WA Goth kit except the nose horn which is from an older oop GW kit and because Silver Bayonet is a hot topic (and I had no armored figure from WA) I used a British riflemen with Goth arms as the wielder, the base is a dungeon tile from a Frontline Games kickstarter pack I got off ebay.

.

Note: due to technical reason I am going to try to add some better photos a little bit after initial posts.

Edit: welp its a bit later and now I fixed the technical issue so here are the other shots.

Title: Bonus spider.

Type: Single figure.

Discerption: I painted 2 small spiders with original plan to use them botheach in the two diffrent dioramas I did for the contest but decided to set it aside an enter it on its own here since its from the classical fantasy line and who knows it may end up fighting some samurai or jungle adventurers at some point.
