Raise your arms !

 After two weeks without time for our Holly Hobby, I'm back for an update.

I made the highlights on both pair of arms, with a blue mark on all the gems. It'll help when I'll paint them all.

Second option : big cannon and shield.

The painting wheme will be a little different on this one, in case the two knights are on the battle field at the same time.

Eldar Knight #2 - Who shot first ?

 I present you my second eldar knight.

Customer asked to have two guns options.

First one : two shuriken canons

Second one, thanks too magnets, can be easaly swaped.

This one is cheesy, with a big cannon and a buckler.

Both configurations have magnetised shoulder guns.

Eldar Knight #2 - Here we go !

I'm working on the second knight.
This one will be a real chessy one...

It'll have two configurations : pair of cannons on canon and buckler.
Magnets power !

I am -almost- Charlie

It's hard for me to post after the tragic times we lived in Paris, at Charlie Hebdo.

For strangers, these four drawers may be completly unknow.
But for me, Cabu was here since my childhood.
Wolinsky appeared when I was a teen.
The two others were drawers. ANd they made me laugh.

Art Spiegelman gave a video interview on the subject.

And you'll find many american reactions in The Nib.


Finally, here's a cartoon that may be a good shortcut for this situation today :

I'll be back on the bench ASAP.
But my heart is heavy.

Good bye 2014, hello 2015 !

We're done with 2014, let's get it on with 2015 !

Let's see what happened this year.

2014 started well, with a 3k DA army project I finished in july.

Such a big project keeps you on the breach for a long time. You keep running, whatever real life throws you in your face.

Working on the same army, the same minis during such a long time learned me painting tips, patience and motivation. Even if it was very hard to paint the 36th(!) and last terminator.

I had the pleasure to play at the Med Tour 2014 edition.

Then back to reality...

After such a challenge, it was really hard to go back to the bench.

I took me a long time to me able to have a mini before my hands and start to work on it.

Too much projects, too little time and no motivation anymore.

I finally finished a commission. Well, half of it : an Eldar Knight.

Took me four month to finish it, when I finished the Red Fury in two.

Good point to take : I founded my motivation back while I worked on this Eldar knight. I have another one to paint for the same customer, and I'm ready for it. 

Let's get it on !

My projects for 2015 :

 - Finish the two Eldars knights commision

 - Having another DA unit painted

 - Finish my "Old Blood" Knight.

 - Put my pencils on the first Armorcast Warhound.

Happy New Year to all my readers, may 2015 be a good year for our Holly Hobby.

Eldar Knight #1 - Done

Ulthwé Eldar Knight

I'm done with my first Eldar Knight.

I painted it with the same color scheme I used on the Ulthwé's Titan Revenant I painted in 2006.

The base's the same : urban war.

I partially varnished the head, to add some constrast.

Side view.

I had to use two left arms to be able to give the knight this position.

All the gems are painted, even the tiny ones.

I didn't paint many yellow parts, to keep a dark aspect.

Eldar Knight #1 - WiP 09

Done !

I finally finished this first Eldar Knight.

To do next : add two magnets in the rear and take nice pictures.

Then... start the other one.
