So this has been a busy couple of weeks, with lots of painting to do and, as per usual, little time to do it in. Round 2 of Iron Painter brought us “Light My Fire” as a theme. My first thought was “Oh god-more OSL”. I hate the technique, mostly because it make photography nearly impossible. At any rate, I decided to do a comical piece centering around Wyrd Miniature’s great little “Candy” model. I thought this innocent little girl chasing Frankenstein’s Monster off the edge of cliff would work pretty well. It took a bit of conversion (Candy’s arm had to be resculpted with a torch in hand, and Franky was cobbled from green stuff and a handful of GW bits). I’m very happy with the final result, but I’m pretty disappointed that my opponent this round was a DNF. Poor poor Jeff Wilhelm. 
So here’s Candy. Click to enlarge of course….
I’ve also completed a piece for eBay this week. It features a Freebooter sword weilding hotty, set into a mini-diorama. I thought this model looked like she was standing in a hell of a gale, so I converted the tree in the background to be bending to the elements. She was a blast to paint, from her sheer leggings to her purple skirt.
