Thank you for visiting my WIP page.
I had a very long active thread on TLA and last year I retired it, it was not that it was not a good thread, but it was a lot to go through for pictures and I had to maintain the links for those pictures. I eventually had to rebuild my website so I did a spring cleaning and so, well, that is that. Thread was retired.
I have since did a pop in thread or two on TLA and updated some of what I was working on. It was ok, I will keep up some of that there just to maintain the presence.
When I came over here I realized just how active a lot of you are in painting, this is what I need, people like me painting and sculpting with regular updates to keep me going. I felt happy again to see all the work and kindred relationship to the hobby.
So... I didn't know how to begin a WIP here, I didn't want to go back over all the stuff I have done in the past. I can tell you that I am well rounded. I convert, I paint, I make terrain. I am not an expert in any, I am not horrible either, I make some stuff I really like and try to improve as I go.
So that is me. I do actually listen to critiques, I have in the past altered paint jobs when good advice came, sometimes I stubbornly keep things as they are... but that is the hobby.
Anyway what I am working on right now is, sculpting fell wargs, painting up fell wargs, hunter orcs, etc. I have two terrain projects that I return to often, one is my Goblin Town which will have a dwarven fort/city above it (multi level) and I have been glueing bricks on my Cirith Ungol which will take forever. So here are some random pics to warm things up and save this thread.
I also just finished that Troll in the Monster Comp, so that was really my latest finished piece.
Right now I am sculpting Torg the Bear Hunter. He will have a back story and profile. He is just above a captains rank, enough influence to be a threat to other orc chiefs, yet he is wise enough to know that and keep away. He has become a survivor, paying tribute from raids to chieftains to gain influence or to trade, bringing scouting info across the Mountains, but alliances are thin with any specific chief. His warg is deathly loyal to him, they have been through a lot, and there is a rule akin to the twins to have the warg avenge him. I have played with idea's about making him work against beorn or want to avoid beorn at all costs, not sure which way to go... Beorn should hate this guy. So any help in the profile, let me know your idea's as nothing is in writing yet.
It will look a lot better when the sculpting is done and he is painted. I also have a version on foot, so making them both look alike has been tricky back an forth.
I have many examples of what I have worked on the last month, here are some;
I am most impressed with the siege scene and amazed at your level of painting on every figure. Well Done!
