Crickey its hot!
But I managed to paint something completely different with what was left of yesterday and today. Not that I am feeling very inspired to do much more at the moment. I was sticking to my paintbrush, the seat and my worktable all at once.
And my paint kept drying up!
Still, I got this classic Kevin Adams sculpt painted though I messed up one of the feet with yellow ink when finishing the base. I really must be into the habit of doing the texturing before the paintwork.
This one was fun to paint. I kept things simple (as you should with these daemons) sticking to a simple blue base and just highlighting up with Bleached Bone and later on, Skull White. For interest, I used purple ink for the mouth and worked the tongue and eyes up to pink by adding more and more blobs of Bleached Bone.
He seems suitably chaotic.
Much like the next few weeks here in Essex. I've got an old Jes Goodwin ogre I found a while back alongside a few of these horrors. I've cleaned him up and based him. I fancy something big and brash after so many skellies so will be working on him if and when I get the time.
Stay cool out there,

Nice work! Back when the figs were fun.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely blue effect! It's not helping us cool down, but it looks great!
ReplyDeleteFantastic work the colours are really vibrant. The jump in the quality of your painting these last few months has been great to see.
ReplyDeleteLovely work, I'm envious of your painting ability.
ReplyDeleteI wish I still had my old Chaos collection, just remnants left now, but I'm really enjoying seeing these classics.
Love this little guy — chaotic, cheerful and gloriously blue! You’ve captured the classic Kev Adams energy beautifully. The bright palette works perfectly, and the setting really makes him pop. Looking forward to seeing that ogre make an entrance too!
ReplyDeleteFull marks for getting anything done in this heat, let alone of this quality. Didn’t know that the blue horrors were Kev Adams sculpts but can 100% see it now that I know.
