Doctor Ork Sez...

 
Doctor Ork Sez Get Yer Fucking Booster Ya Cunts, Cos If Your Vaccine Refusal Makes You A Statistic The Government Uses To Justify Another Lockdown, He's Gonna Rip Off Your Balls, Hack Off Your Limbs, And Play Fucking Golf With Them After Da Surgery's Closed. And Get His Pet Squig "Omi" To Piss On Yer Face.
 
(Yes it's a bit verbose, but Doctor Ork might be even grumpier than usual).

Female Dwarf!

 
Female Dwarf from the notorious / renowned Scibor Minis. I can confirm the casting quality is pretty shit, purchase with care.
 
This was inspired / encouraged by an ex-partner who I'm still in friendly contact with online. She is Scottish and ginger, hence the hair colour and, well, Dwarfs are almost was grumpy as Scots...

I struggled a bit with the face on this and of course the camera picks out the roughness and varnish issues perfectly 🙄 But I'm really happy with the metals and colour scheme.




Green Wizard!

 Back after a summer hiatus.

This model is actually Sharkey (aka a covert Sauraman) from GW's Lord Of The Rings range, but I just liked the model itself and painted it as a normal wizard. The painting isn't quite as smooth as I'd like (I get bored on large uni-colour areas!), and the varnish a bit gritty, but I'm pleased with the colour scheme.

Vaccines Ready Motherfuckers!

 Topical eh! 

A great and characterful sculpt from Forge World that was one of the most fun figures I've painted - having a lot of variety on one model meant I never got bored painting too much of the same thing. I particularly enjoyed choosing some appropriate colours that I don't normally paint, and also painting the soft pale curvy tummy with gentle highlighting.

Hellpoint inspired exotic Knight

 Some exotic knight dude or dudess from Privateer Press. 

The colour scheme was inspired by Hellpoint, a cool sci-fi soulslike game I was playing over Christmas. Yes the armour is kinda fancy, yes it was a paint in the arse to paint, but no those two aspects are not related! The actual armour painting was pretty simple (dark turquoise base, black lining, two translucent purple highlights, one brighter purple highlight, lilac edge all over, pale cream edge on the sharpest points), but repeating that over the whole thing did my tits in, and that would have been the case for any colours.

It's just like all those naff Youtube videos floating around: "INSANE HACK TO PAINT AMAZING SPACE MARINES QUICKLY OMG!!!" which show you how to do a lovely swift kneepad in 10 minutes.....and then all you have to do is to repeat that over 38 other sodding armour plates 🙄. "Draw two circles....now draw the rest of the fucking owl" etc etc.
