G’day
The other day I put up a post in regards to Azazels Painting challenge or fun thing to do… Basically painting a large model during December and January.
Ive gone for a big BeastClaw monster mammoth thing. It’s pretty bloody cool.
Kind of daunting at first, to be honest, but I’m really enjoying the painting.
I don’t want to seampnyou with heaps of pix until the final finished piece so I’ll just show you the face for now.
You can’t really see the eyes but they’re cool. I went with yellow. The fur has been interesting to paint. Bit of dry brushing and a lot of individual strands of hair painting haha.
Lots of nice details on this model. I’m trying to push my own comfort zones with painting this model as I really want it to earn the title “Centrepiece”.
Im not a naturally talented painter unlike you lot but I’ve been practicing.
I won’t over do it with WIP posts on this one I promise haha.

It looks great so far! I’m looking forward to seeing more of your development work on the model :).
(You could call it ‘Metal horns’, just a suggestion 🙂 )

Very cool mate, this is going to be awesome, and hey – don’t talk yourself down as a painter! You definitely have talent, not to mention energy to spare – keep on pushing 😉

Thanks Alex. I just don’t think I have any natural skills hehe. Converting I think I have a bit of a knack for but painting doesn’t come easy. I enjoy it more than ever before but I think the likes of you Azazel, Tommy, Wudugast, imperfectmodeller, heretic30, and many others are all bloody brilliant painters! You lot inspire me to push myself.

We all started somewhere dude – there’s a reason my early stuff isn’t on the web 😉

Haha. I guess. I’ve only been painting “properly” for the last, nearly, three years so I shouldn’t be too hard on myself.

Yayyyyy! I’m looking forward to it. I’m not sure if many have joined in but I’m loving it. I like just chipping away at it here and there. My family thinks I’m nuts but they thought that before too haha

He looks like he’s having a seriously bad day.
It makes us train nerds look a bit tame in comparison…

Looking good so far mate. Not sure any of us are naturally talented painters (I’m certainly not) – the trick is to keep practicing and pushing yourself. You’re definitely pushing yourself here and the extra effort you’ve put in is already paying dividends – keep at it! 😀

I think some of us need more practice than others. I’m the some of us you’re the others. Have you seen the movie The Others? Not bad

I have, although it was a while ago. I liked it. And I certainly need more practice! 🙂
