Recently I have been playing the outstanding VR (virtual reality) survival game: Into the Radius (ITR) on the PSVR2. In ITR you are an explorer of the Pechorsk Radius exclusion zone, you have to manage your equipment, clean your guns and scavenge for food to survive. Additionally, there are many different hostile creatures in the Pechorsk Radius, so you want to try and stay quiet and conserve your ammo. Into the Radius is inspired by the book Roadside Picnic, and the actual stalkers that venture into the Chernobyl exclusion zone. ITR is so immersive and realistic, you have to manually load each bullet into the magazine and into the gun, etc. that you could easily lose hours into playing it. With how passionate I have become about this game, I thought is was only right to make a miniature for it. So I used the promotional art for the game as a reference for the figure to see what the main character looked like for a 3rd person view
The Miniature was made from an old apocalyptic figure I had lying around then I made the backpack and necessary adjustments with green stuff.
I painted him up using a lot of muted colours to match the feel of the world, and slapped him on a base I feel like I did a pretty good job for a 6:30 am paint job!
Next on the agenda to paint was a fellow from the Dark Souls Franchise, the Boreal Outrider Knight. With all of the plate amour on him I felt that this was the perfect opportunity to practice my NMM. Additionally he carries an ice sword so I had to do some lighting effects as well, and I was really happy with the result. His base was then made out of blank playing cards that were cut into tiles with a marble texture painted on, then smeared with dirt and mud. Measuring him up he is a little over 54mm.
I'm still facing an unfortunate loss of painting mojo, so sorry about the random selection of miniatures for this post. I'm mustering up the courage to hop back into my Wars of the Roses project.
Happy Painting!

Your post-apocalyptic survivor looks great Gavin, I love the greenstuff work on him and the paintjob makes him look suitably prepared for anything that come his way in the Radius. I'm not familiar with Dark Souls but your model looks very cool, the last pic shows the work on his icy sword and the OSL very well, good work! And I am hopeful your mojo makes a reappearance as I'm looking forward to seeing your WOTR project!
Fifteen added to your tally!
