From JohnM: More The Affliction (20 Points)

Nine more figures from Folklore: The Affliction box set. I have only 5 more left to paint. I have again gone with bright colours. They are nice figures to paint aside from the faces as on some of the figures the sculpting of the faces is quite soft.

I am experimenting with a black backdrop here. It is a real challenge, as to keep the background black, I have to crank down the exposure and have to avoid using a lot of light. I am using my iPhone as oddly enough I find the quality better than my fancy camera and I can edit the photo to a certain degree on my phone. I also like the airdrop feature. I am having some problems with the lighting as you can see the left most figure in the bottom photo is a little washed out.

I like a white back drop as I find it easier to get the exposure correct, but my last submission to the challenge this year really will require a black backdrop so it is good to get some practice in. If any one has any advice to give I would appreciate it.

Moon Priests and Stregas

Some Vampires

Gargoyles

I painted the Vampires and Gargoyles before the challenge so I can only claim 20 points here. I had forgotten to photograph and post them so I thought it would be OK to add them here.

A nice little collection of figures John. I like the bright and bold colours you've used. Is it me or do the vampires look like the Vampire from the old Salem's Lot, David Soul TV show? 
I do like the Gargoyles, shame you painted them before the Challenge.

20 very colourful points heading your way John.

From JohnM: Folklore-The Affliction (25 points)

Not much done in the last week or so, but the post holiday season quiet is finally settling in and I have a few days off. I presently have 2 projects on the painting table. Here is the first, 5 miniatures from Greenbriar Games Folklore-The Affliction. This was a kickstarter that I backed a couple of years ago. I received the two large gaming boxes last summer, there must of been around 100 figures in total for this cooperative fantasy tabletop boardgame. You can read more about it on my blog.

I feel the figures are quite nice and I am enjoying painting them, they are a sort of mixture of hard and semi-hard plastic as well as the occasional resin figure. It has been liberating to paint some figures without any, shall we say, guidelines. I hope to paint some more before the challenge ends.

Dark Oak's

Mad Druid

Night Stalkers

I am hoping to have something more traditional for next week.

From Ray

Nice work John! I do like the look of the Dark Oaks, I think they could be trouble??
I've not heard of this Kickstarter before, there seems to be a new one starting every other day?
Are we going to see all 100 figures during the Challenge?
So the grand total for your Affliction is 25 points!!
