Skylanders Repaint 10 (Drobot Series 2)

The factory paint job is not necessarily bad, but it is very sloppy (paint over the lines, etc).  I decided to repaint and wanted to model it after the art on the character card.  This meant that I had to use Non-Metallic-Metal (NMM) on the brass, which took forever (with the multiple layers of shading and highlights). 

Skylanders Repaint 9 (Terrafin Series 2)

The factory paint job of Terrafin is simple and the eyes are a little misaligned IMO.  I completely repainted him with added muscle definition, better eyes, more defined teeth, and improved contrast on his skin and metal knuckles. 

Skylanders Repaint 8 (Prism Break Series 2)

The factory paint job for Prism Break is a very simple, single-coat, green dry brush which didn't look that bad.  Nevertheless, the artwork on Prism Breaks character card shows his glowing eyes with the associated illumination on his face and shoulders.  I wanted to recreate that on my model.  While I was at it, I also redid the body with a series of washes and multiple, dry brush layers.

Skylanders Repaint 7 (Jet Vac Series 2)

I was disappointed in the lack of definition in the feathers and eyes on the factory paint job so I exaggerated those aspects in this repaint.  I think the new version has much more character.

Skylanders Repaint 6 (Gill Grunt)

At first, I was tempted to simply repaint the eyes and add definition in the creases but I eventually covered the whole model in fresh paint.  I think the new color better matches the shade used in the game. 

Blood Bowl Orks

I finally got around to finishing some Blood Bowl miniatures. First up, are the Orks (or Orcs, I can never remember if they spell it differently in fantasy-land). I actually started painting these on vacation (on a cruise!) and finished them at home. 3 Goblins, 1 Thrower, 3 Blitzers, 8 Linemen, and 4 Black-Orc Blockers. I had fun with the checks. I was afraid it was going overboard, but I think they need the lighter colors.

Skylanders Repaint 5 (Hot Head and Hot Dog)

The fire models were not painted that bad but lacked good color transitions and the glowing magma in the cracks.  I also added shading on the face and repainted the eyes.
