Yo...Welcome to 2022 and welcome back to the hobby. Your paint job on the beholder is beautiful. It's a glistening, toothy, levitating nightmare. The eyes are excellent (I particularly like the tiny blood vessels around the edges). The Fusilave is a great concept for the archeocopter. I can hear the tinny screech of the beast as it lands to survey the battlefield for its next victim.<br /><br />The pandemic has been a strange, emotional time. It looms constantly here in the US with our fevered blend of hopeful ignorance and stubborn stupidity. It has pulled back the facade of casual assumptions our culture chooses usually to live behind and highlighted the full gamut of social and economic issues that we typically try to ignore and do nothing about. There is great tension in being reminded that civilization requires civility and that's in short supply wherever you look. Combined with looming illness it's made for a strange time.<br /><br />I hope the hobby helps brings you part of whatever you need in the coming months and years - creativity, connection, community, a careful consideration of beholder farts and their possible magical uses possibly as an ingredient in a mass levitation spell perhaps (It's been decades since I played D&D)? pagumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285570716659466793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223049468604605327.post-22639100688673676932022-01-20T02:16:57.206+13:002022-01-20T02:16:57.206+13:00It's been another bizarre year so it's goo...It's been another bizarre year so it's good to see that you're still kicking.<br />The Beholder looks great, the smoke works for me. Like you, it's rare that I paint anything non-GW, although I do have a Ratskin scout from Artel W waiting for some paint.<br />I'm not sure about the flyer's new mandibles though. I can't help thinking they need to be horizontal rather than vertical...maybe it'll grow on me.<br /><br />Glad you're back my friend and keep kicking!

The Wizkids one is certainly one of the best sculpts out there. But I agree, working with the material is a bit tricky. I also really like your colourscheme! Red is a classic but the maw and teeth do look especially menacing.<br /><br />Seeing a bird with such a beak descend down upon you would be frightening. I'd say it's a great improvement!XarfaiEngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585730633140356451noreply@blogger.com
