Other paintjobs from 2012

It seems 2012 is already almost over. This is a shame, because I have been painting like crazy. I aim to keep it up so that the shelf is a lot emptier come Reaper kickstarter dead drop.

I have spotlighted some of my recent paintjobs since I started this blog, but of course I painted a lot more this year. Here are the best of them (and the ones with the best pictures).

Shadows from Otherworld Miniatures

Troll from Otherworld Miniatures

Balazar, iconic summoner from Reaper Miniatures
Giant frog from Otherworld Miniatures

(Swampy) Zombies from Reaper Miniatures

Rust monsters from Otherworld Miniatures

Faramere from Reaper Miniatures

Spirits from Reaper Miniatures

 

Huge spider from Reaper Miniatures

 

Ushabti with great bow from Games Workshop

I did paint a lot more then just this, mainly in the Warhammer department, but I do not have proper pictures of most of them. I only got my lightbox near the end of the year and anything not in the lightbox is no longer something I am happy with

 

I learned a lot from painting all these miniatures this year. One thing I know now is that I could spend days on a miniature or hours. I general I will not spend days on a miniature, but hours. I just don't have the time to paint up to a 'museum' quality spec. I also want to use the miniatures, so there is another reason. I will thus tend to paint up to a level of quality I am comfortable with doing within at max 8 or so hours.

 

I also learned about water effects (see the huge spider), still love drybrushing (see the spirits) and actually blended some things (see the rust monsters).

 

This was a good year, let's have another.
