I particularly noticed with those faces how you use the holes in the bead eyes to direct where the face is looking - very effective!

That's one thing I've stolen from Alan.

It requires only little talent (just put two beads to the appropriate places and be done), so sculpting-wise it is one of the few things I can copy from his style. So far.

If someone tells you that you have enough craft suplies and you don't need anymore, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I have also noticed that the holes make the eyes seem to follow the viewer around.
Thanks for the reply, margaret. I am happy you like the effect.

The Grenadier Shire Dragon's base is now mushroomed &, along with another Mushroom base, is ready for some color...other than black & white that is:

What the rest of the day holds in store is anyone's guess...I guess.

With the return of my closeup vision, I started painting the long awaited Mollog aka Spotty Herbert the Mushroom Troll. Seen here with some Fellow Painting Line pieces:

AND by himself:

I still have his club, the Frog Prince, & the foreground Mushroom to do, but it is getting there.
I am hoping to wrap it up over the weekend....hopefully.

AND Spotty Herbert's (Mollog's according to G.W.) Gang is now done.
Seen here on my painting table with the W.I.P Shire Dragon:

With the Wandering Mushrooms & panicky Old Leo Sizechek a size comparison:

Miscellaneous pics:

I have another dozen photos taken in the Dread Grayscale Caverns that I will post a bit later...consider yourself warned.

Tom List's Dancing Orcs came to mind when I took these photos. SO...thanks, Tom.
If you can play Ease on Down the Road from the Wiz through your head while looking at the Mushrooms, it sets the scene nicely.

There you have them...so to speak.

There are two more Mushrooms in the Works..maybe three:

The one on the right is a Prophetic Mushroom according to Goblin Lore: " for armed is forewarned...or the other way around":

That's it for today...you can breathe a collective sigh of relief.

In a spurt of enthusiasm, I finally did the bases on three of the Old Blight buildings:

They still need some final touches...terrain never seems to be completely done:

I added some "Wanted" Posters to J. Marley's Spirits:

I have another building waiting for attention along with a bunch that are yet to be based. They will be used mostly as photo stages.
Enjoy the evening!

The Goblin Bandit Chief became an accidental casualty of a case of the dropsies, AND was replaced by a personable if somewhat sleazy Mushroom of questionable character. SO here are the results.
Seen here with the other new Mushrooms & Leo for a sizecheck:

By themselves:

From a bit further away:

Until whenever.

In addition the the unattached buildings, I decided to do a small Blight photo stage. I already had one building that was pretty much done, only the ground floor need some work. SO this is how it looks now:

There is a lot yet to do.

I had sent some of my Mushrooms to one of the fellows from the Lead Adventure Forum.Mister Frau Blucher. He posted a photo of the Lads in his Dungeon setting. I thought you might enjoy seeing them:

When he does his campaign pics, I will see if I can post them as well.
