Super Dungeon Explore - The End

For now, I'm done painting 'Super Dugeon Explore' miniatures.
Here's the final groupshot:

These miniatures was great fun painting. Although they seem pretty easy, there certainly are pitfalls... The big eyes for example... I have spend a lot of time trying to get them look right, and could have spend even more, but enough is enough.

Here you have some shots of them in pairs:

These turned out better than I had feared. The rogue is merely one big head, and the details on the body are quite hard to pick out. The ranger is likewise short of sharp details. But in the end they got ok. Saved by their big heads I guess.

The cleric and the barbarian was somewhat disappointing. While the cleric is simply a bad sculpt, the barbarian seemed far more promising. But in the end I couldn't make her look as good as I had hoped for.

What now? What miniatures are to be painted now?
Rumours are, there will be no Giant Fanatic tournament this year (alas!) - And what are then to become of my Blood Bowl Norsemen?? Only time will tell. Stay tuned to find out!

Dungeon explore - part two

I have been painting more of the miniatures from Dungeon Explore (I have also been told, that it is not called Dungeon Explorer but Dungeon Explore... some kind of 'All-your-base-are-belong-to-us-japaneese reference) These two are the Royal Paladin and the Heartsworn Fighter (aka the dwarf hero). I still think they are a fun break from the normal miniature painting.

This is the Angry Bear - The bearform of the druid shown last week.

Painting these mangastyle miniatures is all about finding the balance between simple blockcolouring and traditional highlighting... I think I maybe have highlighted to much... At least the bear could have been more cleancut in the highlight...or something... but hey, I'm quite happy with all of them nonetheless.

Super Dungeon Explorer

I was actually in the middle of my new blood bowl project - a team of norsemen, when this commisionjob turned up: 9 heroes for Super Dungeon Explorer.

I have never played the game, but it seemed like an interesting challenge :)

Here's the first two: The Deeproot Druid and the Ember Mage.

I have chosen to follow the official artwork relatively close... more will follow...
