Yesterday, instead of spending my time pimping out my blog (like I had previously suggested), I finished painting my model Orion (Link), and started on his hounds.
I painted the model before I assembled him, in order to be able to paint more detail. I'm pretty happy with the finished product. Well, except that I received some constructive criticism yesterday about highlighting his features. Now, I will teach myself highlighting and more than likely obsess and still not be completely satisfied.
I will post more photos of the finished model as soon as I finish the base details. Because I like to go beyond what is expected, I'm going to be adding tiny mushrooms to the base. I made these using polymer clay and will (hopefully) bake and paint them tonight.
Last night, was our second round of Dungeons & Dragons (I already feel like a huge nerd, telling people that I play D&D). We played from around 8:30pm until 4:30am, which left me exhausted and too tired to post. My character is an Elven Ranger, which means that I have a longbow, and I'm kinda wimpy. I'm more of a stay in the shadows and shoot kind of character. We also have a Cleric, a Sword Mage, and a Fighter. Last night we had a magician as well, for a couple of the encounters, because a friend showed up.
As for food, well last night was leftover spaghetti and meatballs from the night before, and tonight we met some of Chris's family out for dinner. Crawfish! FINALLY! I've been craving them for two months now... They were delicious, and I'm so full...
In crafting news, I've been commissioned by a friend to create a necklace, and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm too tired to start tonight, but maybe I will get a start on drawing it up, or at least thinking it through tomorrow.
I hope all of you are having great weekends!
