SpiralingCadaver's hobby thread

A couple Kingdom Death minis, and Dark Souls knights:

So, this was an odd project, as I was basically giving someone else's very standard paint job some more punch (which usually only happens when I get irritated at something old that I painted...):

[hapotte]

your ghost are so awesome, now I want to own that crew!....thanks a lot...

[3eland]

I have always loved your OSL work.

[spiralingcadaver]

Oops... forgot to actually hit "submit" whenever I was responding

Thanks, guys-- yeah, it's a pretty fun crew. I've got the LE clear version, but I've just been pretty nervous about how to tackle that one... I've done a couple projects in clear plastic, but it just takes a very different mindset.

Also, updating-- some raptors


and a Link homage (slightly modified b/c I didn't like a couple details, but the model was obviously an homage already)

[3eland]

Very nice!

Enter terrible Link jokes.

"Oh hey, a female Zelda!"

*Cringes in Nerd*

Oh man, something I think was pretty cruel (if intentional): I played the original Legend of Zelda, and that's from the era where a lot of game longevity came from difficulty. I found out after the fact, that if you enter your character name as "Zelda," it starts on hard mode without saying anything. I assume the idea was it was easy to guess at the "cheat code," but either way, I can't begin to guess how many people unwittingly played hard mode.

The second half of that malifaux set:








And some KD minis- the larger one is just retouched.

Some more Malifaux, with Nekima's old metal sculpt

[3eland]

Love it as always.

[spiralingcadaver]

Thanks!

Next up, something a lot less common for my painting, some Infinity guys that reminded me how much I liked the line:

[3eland]

I still have an unpainted nomad team on my shelf.

No one plays it around me so it's just been chilling

No reason o paint if it aint going to see the table. It's sad because there WAS one guy wanting to play and then next I know he sold everything.



Yours look really good though, well done.

[spiralingcadaver]

Ah, that always sucks... Yeah, my Malifaux crews are languishing for the same reason, until whatever it takes to get active again, and most of what I've been doing with them is just updating them so they're all a better/current standard. However, a project that isn't part of that collection-- some Neverborn for someone who is playing

[3eland]

Ooooooooooooooooooooh wow.

You have always been spot on with that OSL but dang man. Impressive.

[spiralingcadaver]

Thanks! Sometimes, the model feels just right, and that lighting comes particularly naturally
