KIM'S very own Atlas is nearly done. Next up is the ball of sleepers. I'm not great at doing flesh tones, so I'm not looking forward to tackling that.

Probably the fastest I've ever finished a KDM model.

Not bad for a few hours of painting. Open to suggestions on what the inside of his cloak should be painted.

And I'm back. Ish. Or at least planning on it. New side project has renewed my interest in painting KDM. Lobotomy was a good palette cleanse. I may work a few of those models inbetween the beasties.
Speaking of, this good boy is up.

Changes at work and general scheduling complications have pushed painting and board gaming lower in the priority list. Nothing bad, just usual ebb and flow of things.
Let me live vicariously through you. What have you been working on or playing recently?

First four done. A little messier than I normally go for, but also kinda fitting for the game. Definitely a much needed change of pace from KDM.

Burned myself out on painting KDM models. We're going to switch to a lighthearted palette cleanser of the hero characters from Lobotomy II. Seems fitting since they just launched a new Kickstarter.

Progress on The King's cape, pauldrons, things that hold his face medals.
I'm definitely losing steam on painting KDM models. After this i think i need to take a break and paint some things that aren't a horror show of some kind.

Blocked in most of the colors for The King. I'm going to try and unify the colors schemes for The Hand and The Kingsman.
Were I the planning type, I would have picked closer schemes for those two models, but I'm not, so here we are.

While doing some gap filling on the next model to paint, I had a thought to use a silicon clay shaper to apply and smooth out the sprue goo.
Worked really well. I only had a chisel tipped shaper, so it couldn't reach into tiny areas, but that's a problem easily solved.

Done except for a few details I just noticed. (Lion Head broaches) Setting aside my often unrealistic expectations, I'm pretty pleased with my first foray into NMM. Wasn't as bad as I had it in my head to be.
Hooray trying new things.

Take two on Big Smoke. Gold is golder and smoke is redder. Overall win and pretty content with the NMM. If you get up closer it looks a bit chalky, but for my second go, it is good enough.

Here's where we are. Doesn't particularly look like gold. If anyone has advice on making him more shiny, I'd love to hear it. Overall the process wasn't too bad, just the colors are off.

First few layers. Not sure this'll read as gold at the end but onwards we go.

Big Smoke is next on the list. I'm gonna push to try and get a handle on NMM with this model.
I'd greatly appreciate any tips and/or tricks.
I plan on using these photos as a guide for the highlights go, but that's all I got so far.

Not pleased, but done. Lots of struggle bussing on the cape and I had to settle for grey brown instead of the cream color i was originally wanted.
He's likely getting scrubbed and repainted down the line.
But progress none the less.

Hair and make up mostly done? Maybe some deeper shadows in the hair, not sure what else i could do to the face. Sadly I don't have a brush fine enough to dot those eyes, so creepy blank stare it is.

Kingdom Death's finest actor and playwright is in hair and makeup, getting ready for his next appearance!
I'm bummed about his base. I did a good job priming and I don't think paint will improve it. Feels wrong to not paint it though.

And done with the Gorm. Transparent paints may be one of the best things ever for faking skill. I also hammered out the Dung Ball for DBK so he can feel less anxious, since he was painted and it wasn't.
Lion Knight next.

Phoenix is finished. I think I could have spent forever touching up details and making it perfect, but then I'd never get to the next model.
