We've got a few project proposals that clients are considering.  If they happen then I'll post up

Out of interest is there a monetary value in your figures fiend? And does it bear any reflection to the time/skill involved?
Fag packet maths 15 hours work by a highly skilled specialist (~£20/hr min?) Comes in at least £300...

Not much in mine, my quality output -to- time taken ratio isn't high enough. I guesstimate that most of my 15 hour figures would sell for £80-100 if I was lucky. To sell figures effectively, you've either got to be world class AND have a known name in the painting scene (i.e. painting kudos / celebrity sells), so maybe be selling at the prices you mentioned, OR you've got to be able to churn out a lot of reasonably painted army figures very quickly (i.e. for big army commissions). The market for decent but slow painting isn't so good.

Become quite addicted to this 200 hour Bob Ross marathon. Never heard of the guy before, but the shows are so mesmerisingly mellow, the antithesis of social media and soundtrack-driven MTV style gibberish. Happy little trees, happy little foothills....love it.

I remember him from donkey's years back when I lived in the States. He was famous for turning his slips and mistakes, into birds and was the eras equivalent of an internet meme for turning around adversity.
My Yank colleagues in the shipyard at Thunderbolt, often heard to say "just turn it into a bird" when caught out in error...

At the weekend in a bit of spare time I actually got inspired to pick up a pencil and sketch for the first time for probably almost 20 years. (Couldn't even find any plain paper...)

BTW I've not been posting my stuff in this thread cos it's a limited audience here, but here are a couple from recently:


Artwork inspired. Picture by someone else, figure by me.


A tribute to the Vermintide game I blasted through with online buddies recently. No direct reference but the warpstone glow was important.

All my stuff gets posted here, http://teamshambler.blogspot.co.uk/ , watch out there might be goblins etc.

Sometimes, after finishing a sketch, I like to scan it and play around in Photoshop.

Sketch.



It's strange how a few tweaks can change it entirely.

I call it "Night session".

The ears need a bit more work and there is still some cleaning up to be done.

So, framed and hung some non- iPad sketches today, some new and some old. Some based on old photos (Jerry) and some from my head.









All in pencils.
