Did a bit of work with the dremel, some green stuff, and re-posed both of my trolls. The first is a pretty big change with the stance, the second is just a more subtle tweak of the one hand to turn it sideways. 
Hope you enjoy Fofix, my latest and maybe best mini paint yet. He is a gnome sorcerer if you can’t tell.
Now that I’m done painting him I see all the flaws under the critical eye of the macro lens. I like the way the hair came out and I am reasonably content with the eyes. The little tiny details like that are tough for me; maybe I should invest in some finer brushes. The flames look reasonably cool and were one of the appeals of this particular mini but there is some wonkiness in the way the paint came out. Probably the biggest issue with him is the fact that I didn’t clean the mold lines before painting.

A friend suggested that using a light primer with a darker wash would provide some good contrast to help bring out details early in the painting process. Most of my minis I’ve painted using a dark green, gray or black base so this is a bit of an experiment. Here are the results.
A set of wolves which I traded for. I showed two previously, this is the rest of the set and a group shot. The idea is to have 5 wolves, 3 I can use as Winter Wolves, 3 I can use as hell hounds, and 3 I can use as normal (dire) wolves, so the normal ones get triple duty :)

I just finished a big batch of minis the other day. They were done in a big batch so none of them are super high quality but they will be a nice addition to the table. This guy here was one of my favorites, my attempt at a Hell Hound. Check out the whole batch…

If you haven’t been following things I entered an annual contest at Paizo called RPG Superstar
. The idea is to find talented RPG designers. The first round they selected 32 entries out of… hundreds (they keep the exact numbers quiet). This year my entry was selected as one of the Top 32 magic items which means I advanced into the main part of the contest.
My first round entry which got me into the competition was called Pharasma’s Blessing.
The second round 32 competitors made a pitch for a monster. No stat blocks but a description of the creature and it’s powers. In the second round the judges criticized the entries but the competitors advanced based on public voting.
My second round entry (voting closed), the Brown Urus, helped me get into the third round of the competition. With 16 competitors remaining this round we all crafted a creature stat block from one of the other competitors entries. Our entires are in and the judges are currently stewing over the Top 16 entries and coming Tuesday (the 9th) they will release their opinions of the entries. Hopefully they like my third round entry a bit more than my second round.
Voting for the third round starts on the 9th when they reveal the monsters for all to see.
