WHOOOPS! CMON Annual 2012

WHOOOPS! I could have been in the CMON Annual 2012 But I missed a private message back in June asking for high res pics of my images.   I just found it today only because I got a comment on one of my other entries and I figured I would log in to see what I missed.  Looks like quite a bit.

I wish they would have sent me an email instead of a message through their system. I wonder how many other people missed out.

So here are the miniatures they wanted to feature. While you are looking through your copy you can pretend these are in there.

So I haven't updated in a while but I assure you that I am working on painting just not as often as I would like.  I have an amazing piece on my work bench and I've been so busy I haven't had time to get to him.  I will update soon, I promise.

 

 

Vasquez - Stay Frosty

So I think i've finished my favorite piece to date.  This piece as you can tell is Aliens Movie inspired and i'm calling the figure herself "Vasquez".  This miniature has not been released to the public yet as it's for an unreleased game called Sulphur. I'm not sure when the game is coming out but if all the miniatures for it are this awesome it's going to be one worth waiting for. 

The alien eggs are from the old 1988 54mm range from AEF Designs now out of print.  I happened across a set on Ebay and picked them up for fairly cheep.  Of course I had my boyfriend make a mold of them so I could have as many as I needed.  It felt wrong to use the originals for some reason. 

The base you should recognize from a few posts ago (Here) and it's come a long way since then.  I enjoyed playing with the colors on the alien portion of the base. I actually ended up using a piece of lichen as a texture pad and built up a lot of colors in it that way.  Of course there are a bunch of different color washes on it as well.  I wanted to make sure it didn't blend into the military green background of the rest of the base.  Any questions please leave a comment.  Now onto the pictures!

A base for Vasquez - WIP

Hey all, I'm still in the process of finishing the base for my Vasquez miniature.  I had to wait a bit longer than I though for my boyfriend to finish it up for me. He actually scrapped and re-sculpted the secreted resin portion of the base since he wasn't happy with it the first time around.

Here it is in various stages. Please forgive the bad pictures as they are all from my cell phone.
The primer I used is Krylon Camouflage Fusion series the darkest green.
More to come soon.

Vasquez WIP

Here is a little preview of my work in progress. I'm calling her Vasquez (Aliens movie) because she is the inspiration for this piece and the figure doesn't have a real name yet.
