Brushes of the Underworlds: Final Check

As I already mentioned in check 2, the truth is that I thought about taking it easy, but I guess that after having painted about 50 Krule for my army, my hands danced completely frenetic over the minis and I finished them much sooner than I thought. Seeing so many beautiful displays and dioramas I decided to prepare a base for them worthy of such a band and with which to show off next to the beautiful work of my challenge companions.

So much for the Big3 challenge…. The treasure was a lie inside the chest there was a note from Volomir saying Pintaaaaaaaa!!!!!….. Thank you for this challenge that has made me demand myself to paint more and improve…. Now to touch up little by little so that they can be presented in Essen…. Road to GoldenDemon’24! The bearded ogre Yugutine is approaching the end of his journey where he will find the precious treasure… The mythical treasure that all brush pirates talk about…. The golden chest of the Big3…. Lacking Details…. Shading…. Bases…. We are going full steam ahead arrrrrrrrrr

Well, this is the end of the Fjul Grimnir band, I hope you like it. It has been great to participate in another challenge with you, and I hope that we can meet again in the next one!

Against all odds… I was able to finish the band on time.

Fighting against the gray tide another day. I had a great time, painting and participating in this great challenge against the clock.

Many thanks to the guys at TheBig3 for doing these little things that motivate me so much.

I encourage everyone, both beginners and experts brushes to participate in future challenges.

Greetings and… death to the grey tide!

I was happy with the band in general, the weakest part was the girl and the crossbowman. As a first time for a fire osl, I think it was a good result. Just enough time for two months for this kind of bands at a top level… Obviously my level is TABLEtop at best. I’m learning!

In the absence of preparing the game bases, I completed the challenge as expected, although this is when you realize that taking a unit to the maximum level of your painting is harder than it seems (and I did not make it happen). A pleasure to have participated in the challenge and despite not being able to contain myself with the size of the base, I’m very happy with the result.

With this fourth character with the theme of the power of nature I finish the band. I’m quite happy with the result and with how I’ve organized myself to complete the challenge. I tried to do something a bit more original and go out of my comfort zone, redoing several times many parts because I wasn’t happy with the final result but right now I think this is my level, which was one of the objectives.

Finished the “challenge” of underworlds. In the end it was a bit difficult, but I’m happy with the result. It’s true that they are not at the level they should be (I would need more time, because I’m very slow at painting). The band doesn’t seem to me to be difficult to paint, on the contrary it’s much easier than other bands, but perhaps for a challenge they are a bit too many miniatures, and they also have details that need a bit more work. In short, it is a band that looks nicely painted, but it needs a little more work than I thought, but at the same time, as it has a little more difficulty to make everything more or less homogeneous. I think that with a little more time it can be very very good. I think that if I have enough time, I will retouch it and I will put a scenic base, which can give it that little extra bling.

I chose this band, because I visualized the witch of Mordheim in it, I liked the “werewolf” position and I wanted to work a mini-diorama. I did NOT imagine I would get so tangled up! The band came out a week after the challenge, I changed the composition twice (thanks Paloji), I wanted to put the witch flying, then I tried unsuccessfully to sculpt steamy hair with putty on the witch, etc. I ended up converting that hair with bits the last two days before the end of the challenge. There are many little things to polish here and there, but overall I’m happy with what I achieved in such a short time, it was so much fun that I would repeat without hesitation!!! Although with something a little simpler, I also have to say it XD Thanks to TheBig3 for letting me participate in the challenge, I hope you like it and see you again!

At the official time of “stopping the clock” I had finished the band in their gaming bases, as initially forecasted. But! It turned out that the bonus time coincided with a wonderful vacation in Castilla La-Mancha, and as since the beginning I had been ruminating the idea (in case I had time) of making a scenic base, and building the lighting in this sense… in the final sprint I have done this, which keeps the game bases buried but available to be recovered in case in the end I decide that it would have been better to stay still.

Although I will need some time to take perspective on whether I like the result (and there are still a few things to adjust), what I can already say is: it has been a pleasure to participate in the challenge, see the progress of my colleagues and receive feedback from big3. It is the first time that I have painted with checkpoints and it has helped me to be constant, uniform and to reach a result, that on my own I would have postponed much more.

Thank you very much for the work and the experience!

I arrive in extremis to the deadline of the challenge with a presentable band, that is not really finished. It would still need a lot of work to leave it good enough for Golden Demon, but unfortunately they are going to stay aside, at least for now, to prioritize other entries.

I really tried my best to at least have them all coloured up so be ready for the tabletop. That was the initial goal for the campaign. Again my ambition seemed to be too high…

Some unexpected time off the painting table prevented me from achieving the goal. But these will be finished for a greater goal!

Well, I couldn’t make it. I started the challenge in the live streams with the healthy intention of advancing them solid, but not a chance.
My intention is to make it my second entry for the GD, but even that option is starting to wobble! We’ll see!

Fail…. With all the sadness in my heart, I have not been able to meet this great challenge. A lot of work, a lot of live shows, a lot of trips, a lot of orders… I’m sorry I couldn’t contribute more. So I can only say that I’m sorry and that it won’t happen again.

I was hoping to finish the band but it has been impossible, life gets complicated. Well, these are my first Stormcast and the truth is that I’m happy with the result of this WIP. It’s been a process of comings and goings, the NMM is cool, but when there is so many of it…. It is a long process and if there are external complications, even more. Anyway, I have enjoyed it a lot in spite of everything. Thank you very much for the initiative!

Well, I’ve only been able to paint a third of the mini. Although very happy with the result. They are minis that I love and I wanted to dedicate time and love to make a painting that would do them justice. In the end during these two months I have had a lot of work, so I could not take time for them. Even so, I have been able to advance a little this one to leave an idea of the scheme: a violet for the skin as protagonist, accompanied with orange, maroon and turquoise, as reminiscent of the coral world of these elves-fish. Finally, I wanted to try to make a mother-of-pearl armor, with small greenish, pinkish, etc. iridescent reflections.
PS. When the challenge started, I was caught with a mini of the Sons of Velmorn band. Well, at least I have finished that band during these two months!

I got involved in the challenge with this troop that I hadn’t even planned to paint at first, and in the end they are half done, but very well on their way to Essen. I knew it was going to be complicated, as I’m not exactly the fastest painter, and the last two months I’ve been especially busy. The plan was to get it done with the free days I had, but between some things and others, in the end I ended up dedicating the free days to other projects: between weddings, trips, home renovations, and so on, April/May have not been the best months for painting :P.
But well, it has been an honor and a privilege to be part of the challenge, and to see all those bands in process during these weeks. I can’t wait to see the results, and especially to see what comes out of this for October!

So far my contribution. The lack of time (life is hard) forces me to get here. A lot to do and retouch, but I think that in general terms you can see the intention. A pleasure to share it with you and to have been part of this challenge!
