Having seen all the enthusiasm from Ali and 2CE about the Mountain of Metal Challenge, TokenGamerChic has decided to toss her paint brush in the ring!
Hi everyone! TokenGamerChic with a few projects I'm going to work on for the Mountain of Metal Challenge- a Dragon and some Monkeys!
First up on my painting table is MONKEYS! Or, more specifically, a whole lot of ARC from Pulp
City. These simian super beings are great fun. They cover a huge spectrum of abilities in game and can be either good guys or villains. The line up for this challenge shall include the Primate of Nature, Ba-Boom, Apebot, Virus, Guerilla, Howler, Dr, Red, Robo-Chimp, and a Dreadball Alpha Simian. Anyone who watches our Sunday News has seen my Primate of Science ride his custom Dr. Jolt vending machine, so the rest of these guys have a long ways to go before they hit that level of cool.
I have to thank Merek for the fantastic job he did assembling these for me. He even did some conversion work to hide some bits that I lost. And yes, Apebot is now brandishing a lamp post. 'Cause that's how you do it in Pulp City!
The other project is the Arcane Dragon from Warploque Miniatures. Great Green Globs of Guacamole I love this model. This huge serpent has so many many different textures over his graceful frame it has taken a long time to settle on a paint scheme. I intend for this lovely gribble to be a force of nature. Something like heavy storm clouds rolling in, crackling with lightning. Alex Huntley kindly designed a huge stone arch to counter balance this twisting beauty, but I think I will re-purpose that as table terrain and do something more unique. I am going to try to make dark clouds out of fiberfill. A little stiffening agent to keep their shape and a light kit to add drama might just be the finishing touch.
These are the projects taking up space on my "to do" shelf. I am so looking forward to getting to add to the completed cabinet. Not to mention getting points off the painting board!
Welcome aboard! The dragon looks like a real challenge.
ReplyDeleteWill be watching your progress with great enthusiasm! Can't wait to see what you do with that Dragon!
ReplyDeleteYou guys make me sad that I missed out on the Pulp City KS; those figures look like a lot of fun to paint. I look forward to seeing how they all turn out!
