Lost Egg paints...

[Lost Egg]

Hi all,

I have finally managed to paint up the first of the WoT minis I picked up at Salute this year, yay!

Behold the Elroga...

This little lady was fun to paint. I got the scheme from a loovar from Zelda Phantom Hourglass which my son and I have been playing a lot of fairly recently. For anyone who doesn't know a loovar is a medium sized fish you can catch when sailing at sea. I fancied using this colour combo as its quite striking.

[Carcharoth]

Excellent job!
I'm sure he'll bring your engu good fortune.

[Lost Egg]

Thanks!

[Kryptovidicus]

A striking vivid colourscheme. I would have put a pupil in that eye though, just to make him look more alive

[Lost Egg]

Thanks, I may well do that Kryptovidicus.

I have another Twilight critter to show...

No idea where the colour combo came from I just had an urge to use that green with black. It felt like it was missing something so I gave her a red stripe to Jazz things up...maybe it will help her run faster

[The Slann]

neat

I like your schemes. After my brief trip to eldar I'll come back to these

[Kryptovidicus]

The red stripe makes it look like a tropical bird of a fish and totally makes sense to me.
A great paintjob you did on him, alien and at the same time familiar.

[Lost Egg]

Thanks guys

It will be the Yartain next.

I still fancy making an Engu dwelling but we will (hopefully) be moving soon so that's likely gunna have to wait a while.

[Kryptovidicus]

An Engu dwelling sounds like a great project.
Will it be a longhouse or more something like a Yurt?

I was thinking of a lone tower on the rocks much like the little sketch Mike did. Though making a small coastal scene would be very cool I don't have the time or a place to show it off.

I do quite like the idea of making a small fishing vessel too but that's gunna be much more involved.

Behold...the Yartain...

I'm sure it will come as no surprise that I based my painting of this guy on the old Star Wars Wompa toy

Apart from the initial coat and wash this guy was painted in a single night, I don't think I've painted something so quickly for ages. Before I started my plan was very hazy but once I started it just flowed so well. I'm definitely happy with how he turned out.

[Carcharoth]

He looks scary! Awesome

[Lost Egg]

Thanks Mike, I couldn't resist blooding him up.

I must say the rest of the Yartain family look very cool and the jenta look very cute.

[Kryptovidicus]

He's like a big angry polar bear

[Halcyon]

It's a lovely paint job to go with a lovely model.

Seems like part of my text went missing.
How did you manage to get the fresh red blood around his beak?
Fantastic painting!
