I've been in the painting doldrums recently. I've forced myself to just keep painting, finishing off small projects along the way, and keep achieving little things.

| Radagast and Sebastian |
Fortuitously, The One Ring website had 'Radagast' as the topic for their recent friendly
painting challenge. I haven't actually painted (let alone assembled) any of the 'Escape from Goblin Town' stuff, and this seemed like a good way to get things started and get the juices flowing again.

I tend to paint my LotR figures a bit more on the darker side
of the spectrum to match the film, which looks OK up close,
but a bit more drab from a distance. This figure is no exception with all these shades of brown, but at
least I'm consistent.
I'm happy with the outcome, and I think this has not only relieved me from the doldrums but also reinvigorated my need to paint the Hobbit set.
Nice job the yellow adds a nice contrast to the miniature. Are you going to be getting the Rabbit Sled thing?
ReplyDeleteThe yellow is his bare legs, the lighting makes it look funny!
DeleteAnd, no.
It tough to fight your way through a painting funk sometimes. Good luck! Nice job on Radagast.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sqrl.
DeleteLovely work, with a little hedgehog tucked in there! Lots of character in this one. No one in my group games LoTR so I'll have to follow along with you!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Monty. TBH, I haven't played a LotR game in ages...
DeleteNice work, Barks. I like it. If he holding a groundhog in his left arm, that's cool; if not, that's cool too.
ReplyDeleteIt's Sebastian the Hedgehog!
DeleteVery good painting work ! Perfect !
ReplyDelete(even I don't like the PJ "Radagast", I must confess that this figure is really well sculpted !)
Thanks, Sam! I don't mind their Radagast vision, but the prancing pose left me a bit cold initially. In the end, however, it is a very nicely sculpted figure.
DeleteNice looking figure and it looks like it was just the ticket to get you out of the doldrums.
