Bit of slow start this time, I was supposed to have plenty of time during the weekend and Christmas week, but I caught a flu and focusing on minis was out of question. Happily these The Song of Ice and Fire minis have been on my desk since October and needed very little work to complete them. Anyway, they qualify for Limbo and now they are done.

After taking the initial shots, I realized I missed the blacks from they eyes, so back to the painting table. Here the horrible close ups, but the eyes are decent - it kinda helps that the models are quite large!
Regarding the scoring these qualify for Limbo (20 points) and I ask for 7 points for Kevan and Qyburn (40mm minis) and 10 for Robert Strong (54mm). Total should be 49 points, if Curt agrees.
What's next? I have been rather busy and my painting motivation has been low and I haven't prepared any females (or deamons), so I guess I need to paint something for Lust. Outside the themes, expect to see some fantasy or another, may be historical or scifi.

Welcome back to the Challenge Teemu! I'm sorry to hear that you've not been feeling well but it seems you've managed to move from one Limbo to another that is a bit more fun. I virtually know nothing about the The Song of Ice and Fire miniature game though it seems they've produced a lot of product for it. That aside, you've done very nice work on these Lannisters. I like the armour, your highligting and especially your efforts on their faces. Kudos to you for the eyes - I almost never do as it seems to be a practice of diminishing return on time invested.
Your scales are right but your math is off, so 44 points it is - well done!
- Curt
Nice work - I do like Mr Strong - the way that you have painted the armour is superb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! Strong looks quite strong, doesn't he?
DeleteThank you Curt! I blame the flu for the maths fail. :)
ReplyDeleteIf that were true then I'd have the flu ALL the time! ;P
DeleteWell done Teemu. Rest up and kick that flu to the curb!
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter! 10-11 hours of sleep last night and I feel worse than yesterday. :)
DeleteGreat stuff Teemu. Qyburn is particularly good mate.
ReplyDeleteThank you Millsy! Glad you liked them.
DeleteTeemu, well done. Hope you feel better soon and can get stuck in painting and enjoying. Have a merry Christmas and a Great new year.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Bruce! Getting better, slow and steady.
DeleteGood to see you back for another challenge Teemu, nice work on these
ReplyDeleteThank you, it is good to be back.
DeleteNice work, Teemu, I hope you get a few more of these.
ReplyDeleteI have a few more primed, let's see how they fit the schedule.
DeleteThose are quite nice, Teemu! I quite like Qyburn as he looks quite the interesting fellow who could easily be submitted as a wizard, advisor, merchant, innkeeper.... one of my friends regularly uses SoFI minds for DnD proxies and this is a crew he should source. Sir Strong definitely fits in with his name and his armor is very well done!
ReplyDeleteI like Qyburn, too. These are quite archtypical, so should work well in D&D, where different scales don't matter that much.
DeleteYou've done a great job making all of the armored details pop. I often find highlighting metallics to be a real pain, and that armor can tend to flow together, so I'm very impressed. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Robert. I'll give some credit to sculpts, since I think I did nothing extra ordinary with the brushwork.
DeleteGreat job Teemu!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteNice work with those metal colors
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteNice work Teemu
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteNice job and good for them to be saved from limbo
ReplyDeleteGreat start Teemu. Welcome back. Looking forward to seeing your work this year again.
ReplyDeleteWell done on getting these done, hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteNice one Teemu and I do hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteAh, very nice! As it happens, I have prepared quite a few ASOIAF miniatures, so we might see some of them along the way. Inspirational, Teemu! I do hope you are feeling better now!
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased to hear that I'm not the only one who can't resist buying figures for a low price, even when it is not your period of interest.
ReplyDeleteGreat brushwork on the figures and the armor!
