Hi Shades,

I'm sure you've seen these images before but just in case:

I love James' style. Apparently he trained as a watercolour artist and paints figs using adaptations of watercolour techniques.

Thanks for the shout-out, James! I took a break over the holiday, but this past week I started working on the Skink Priest. I hope to finish it this weekend. It's been challenging to paint, since it has so many doo-dads on it. It's been difficult to balance out the colors. It's turned out a bit kaleidoscopic, and it draws heavily on the traditional colors that have been used to paint this particular piece. I wish I could have come up with something more original. A friend of mine asked if I had painted it albino. That would have been a great idea! Not just in terms of being a little more unique, but it would have made the color management easier, too. I'm still pleased with how it's turning out. And I've been able to experiment with some new techniques, relatively risk-free since the experiments are lost in the business of the model. I look forward to posting it. As a matter of fact, I'll probably go ahead and copy-and-paste much of this message, if you don't mind.

Cheers, dude.

Cant wait to see your finished army, it is going to out of this world.
Peace James

Thanks Shades, that was a very nice message you left for me. I just wish I could put the same effort into the "doing" of the hobby as I'm putting into the researching and the community aspects of it. The forum is a displacement activity that protects me from having to put my money where my mouth is.

Hopefully I'll get my paints out tonight and shake off some of those anxieties

I meant the link I posted in the media forum which you thanked me for. This one:

Were you able to get that program on the Incas? It was you I had in mind when I posted it but wasn't sure if you'd be able to access it from non-UK-land.
