The pawsting business is tough work.
Since we're coming up on the end of the month:

I got a very specific kind of lazy and painted some minis to completion without photographing them with a timestamp. All my actual oaths are complete, but when I post my verification picture, if I post all the minis I've painted for the month, will I be committing a terrible faux pas?

Terrible? No. But blacking out the non-oath minis in Photoshop, Gimp, whatever, will help the judges.

This month I completed the Theme Challenge of painting the winter-weather Nisse sniper and an Ultramarine for the Retro Challenge. The Ultramarine also qualifies for Speed Painting.

I'm getting back into painting for the first time since I was a teenager, and it shows. But that's the point of painting more. I very much need a better photo setup!

I actually painted an additional three models not seen here, but I was a dope and didn't oath them properly. Don't be like me.

As the Dwarf With No Name never came in a box is Box art claimable as I based the paint job on the character it was sculpted after?

I finished the zombies only about 2 days after I oathed them. They are pretty quick and easy to paint in batches.
Clovis took a bit longer though. Partly because my holiday ended and I had to go back to work. Partly because it's a rather busy model. Fun to paint though.

And actually, this might be a good time for an update on the administration of the oath thread generally, since I just the other day noticed that January's spreadsheet hasn't been updated. Like, at all. Not even with anyone's initial oaths. I'm thankful to Krushgroove for still coming around to officially approve everyone's oaths, but aside from that, what's going on?

My DSLR broke so have some poo poo cell pics.

Theme/Challenge Painting white. This Duke guy is supposed to be crazy and old, so I gave him white hair. My other younger wolves have more of a bone/sand color to their fur so I decided to go warm on this guy's white. Started with a bleached bone, shaded with argax, hit it back up with bone and did some layers of a thin white acrylic ink. Probably not as many layers as I should, could have made each round thinner but I'm a lazy jerk.

I keep the blond hair a running theme among my wolves but I tried to give this guy a touch of grey on top. It did not look as good as I thought. I probably should have reversed my thought, and started with grey and worked up to blond. I blame my youth for not understanding how to paint grey hair. Also the grey I used probably was too desaturated to really notice. I should think harder about the hair on my fur covered werewolves.

I'm hoping the white on the backpacks, Veteran's arms, and the like are enough to qualify for the Technical Challenge, but won't squawk too loud if not.

Judges: In case you need it, here's the link to where I completed my Speed Paint of the wraith:

  • technical challenge: in the spirit of Valentine's day and all the heart icons that this entails, let's see your best blood effects!
