Carnival of Carnage ; Soul Grinder's Hall of Illusions, or the ride of your life...

 

My creative juice is flowing again... i love it.

Almost done with a whole 100g of green stuff, and my daemon prince is still far from finished. but my Soul Grinder is almost done.

I had tons of idea today while listening to old recording of ICP on Howard Stern (i really recommend the one against Sharon Osbourne, funniest shit ever...).

First, i had an idea the whole time about making a rollercoaster out of him, and i think i finally decided on how to make it look like one, while avoiding making something stupidly complicated out of it. At first i though about rollercoaster rails around the models, but it was such a complicated thing to do, i just couldnt.

So instead, he's gonna swing at it ; I'll make him a bat, and he literally swing at the cart for the ride of your life.





You notice the plasticard, i decided to make him like the cart on "Halls of illusions"... the the giant guy running and screaming inside.

The second part was the underbelly of the beast. I didnt quite know what to do with it ; it had a correct shape, but was too rough to be kept as is, and i knew i couldnt sculpt something great under there, so i went with plan B ;









once i was done, i looked at it, then i looked at a soon-to-be-painted model i owned from mad clown miniatures (https://www.facebook.com/MadClownMiniatures), the creepy mouth monster, and damn... didnt mean to copy it, but i guess subconsciously, i did.



For the record, the little thing coming out of his front isnt his... yeah, i figured if i made something where his 4th leg should be, it'd be better... might add some small toes...

Nurgle Carnival now the Carnival of Carnage


Yes, i have to admit, i finally am forced to start adding more than nurgle to my army. Not that i am forced, but some variety is good, right?

For that reason, my nurgle carnival is now my carnival of carnage (and you can bet my Daemon Prince will look like Violent J).

Dark Elves : the race is done!

So tonight, i finally call it. I'm done. Whatever i do after this point, is pure bonus.

I'm so glad to be done, and i have to say, it feels good to complete another army. As of right now, i have 3 completely painted Fantasy army ; Ogres, Nurgle Carnival and Dark Elves. Each one were done with something in mind ;

Ogres, it was my first army, so i was learning. Learning to highlight/shade flat surface, learning to just paint correctly.
Nurgle Carnival was learning to airbrush, learning to convert and follow a paint scheme.
Dark Elves was learning to use minimal color palette, NMM, and a few new things about prepping and painting model (like never touching a model with our oily fingers..)

I am VERY satisfied with this army, and i can't wait to start another. So many ideas, so many new challenge, i can't wait.

For now, Pictures!!!!

Dark Elves : the race is on! Day 24 of 30 left

Peg Master done! Thank god.

He still needs a base, but i don't care, i still can call him finished! Pretty happy with the final result, considering he took me roughly 6 hours today to paint. Pictures after the breaks...

Dark Elves : the race is on! Day 22 of 30 left

Got to say, i'm very happy with my night. In roughly 4 hours i managed to basically complete about 90% of my Shrine. Still some bits to do, and the crew, which i completely forgot, but i'm well on time.

Hopefully tomorrow i finish it, and start working on my Peg Master.

For now, pictures!

Dark Elves : the race is on! Day 21 of 30 left (!!!)

A small post tonight, just to show my finished Executionner before i start on something else...



Threw in Hellebron and my Sorceress on their respective base.

Have to say, i really like how they came out.
