Oh yes, I’ve finally got the brushes out again! I’ve been working on some minis for Marvel Crisis Protocol, inspired by a game from last week that I’m going to talk about some more in another post.
I’m pleased with Shadowland Daredevil, it’s a really simple paint job, but sometimes that’s all you need, right?
Elektra was the standout from the game I played, and really she was the inspiration for getting back into painting. I’d done her skin a while ago, so it was just a case of working on the red outfit and stuff.
Elektra is also the first model I’ve attempted to paint the eyes for, since the ill-fated attempt with Psylocke about a year ago. It’s not gone perfectly, if I’m honest, but it’s all about the improvement, right?
I’ve decided to leave these minis where they are for now, and have moved on to some Shatterpoint stuff! Though I’ve not been off to the best of starts, as I’ve once again attempted the eyes!
Oh man. These guys look very ropey, to say the least! I definitely need to do more work on Leia’s lizard-eye look, but I’m really not sure if I’ve got it in me right now. I was trying to apply Sorastro’s method of doing the eyes first, then shaping them as I paint the face. Well, I guess I can’t expect it to be perfect the first time I try to do it, but I am a bit disappointed that I may have messed up a whole strike team!
Might move on to doing the rest of the model, and come back to the eyes at the end of something. It’s certainly worth trying to do though, because it definitely makes models look so much better to have the eyes done.
