Nice brushwork. I like the highlighting on the faces and bodies. I'm a simple Dip'er. Your work really demonstrates highlighting in a clear way -- at least to me. I've done some dry-brushing, but it is not a major technique for me. Your work is tugging at me to do more dry-brushing... Stop that! LOL! Cheers!

Laughter is the ultimate expression of joy. Laughing at the antics of a 2-year-old child is not demeaning or degrading, it is your heart boiling over with joy, and laughter is the path of least resistance for it to escape! Let it out, laugh easy, laugh loudly, laugh as often as you can. Keeping it bottled up inside is a leading cause of stroke among uptight people around the Globe... Laughter is contagious -- let's start a new pandemic!

Thanks, Sgtslag! I am happy you like brushwork. I do the darkest shade of a triad/quartet of colors wash to start the faces & other stuff. Then I do progressive coats of successively lighter shades to build up to the highlights gradually. you might be able to do the same with the dips.

I started making a couple more nasty ambulatory Mushrooms. This the "dolly" stage.
Seen here with the finished prototype:

Updates as things progress...I suppose.

I hear ya'! I've had projects wait 20+ years to lift off of the ground. Too many projects, in fact. My d20 Globe project was born in 1982, or so. I made the global map of my game world, around 2010. I purchased laser-cut, equilateral triangles to build it into a physical globe, in 2023. I finished it in 2024. I need to build a mounting system for it, now...

Cheers!

One of the drawbacks to enthusiasm is that we tend to have a lot of things going all at the same time.

Thanks for the kind reply, sgtslag! I am happy you like it thus far. AND Just in time for an update.

The brushwork on The Twisted Tower Photo Stage is done other than touch ups when goofs are noticed. Next will be some detail work...this is the fun part.

Until next time whenever that is.

Lots of stuff done or getting done. I finished the first bas Relief Mushroom & entourage, a Mushroom duet for one of my Nurses, AND I have three bases of Mushrooms & two rebased Trees ready for details plus some things not shown here.

He does seem to have an attitude problem. Thanks for the reply, margaret!

I managed to finish the Mushrooms & Trees this morning, take some photos, AND get the gift Mushrooms wrapped & ready to give to the nurses.

Next post should be more detailing of the stage depending on how well my attention span holds against the shinies.

Not really exciting, but I prepped up a bunch of wooden bases today; i.e., glued floral foam sphere slices & covered with Woodland Scenics foam putty

Once the putty is dry, I will cover the tops with watered down tack glue & sand, paint them, & then they will be all set for whatever I want based, The wood discs are 40mm, 50mm, & a couple of 30mm.

The second & third of the bas relief background Mushrooms are in place. There will be a few final floral touches, possibly some foliage on the background trees, then the stage will be done:

The three Goblin Foot Mushrooms are also done:

Love the orange bodies, green faces, and purple noses. Fantastic color palette. They remind me of AD&D Hobgoblins: orange skin, blue noses, and a bad attitude... Thanks for sharing! Cheers!

Thanks for the reply, sgtslag. I am happy you liked the new Mushrooms. Now that you mention it, the coloration is similar to AD&D's Hobgoblins.

While I am sure there will be some tweaking over time. the addition of The Moon & foliage renders the stage finished:

I took seven years to finally finish the stage. The feeling of relief is incredible...procrastination is not necessarily a bad thing.
