Wash twice

     I found some old Photos of High Elves me and my wife painted up for the premier of the "Island of Blood". And I realized that I haven't showed the Gryphon on the Blog so now I'm doing it.

     There is an interesting thing about wash I learnt thanks to this model and I would like to share that with you. As you can see all of the gryphon's feathers are brown. They were painted with Bleached bone first and washed with some gryphon sepia. The cool thing that I did here is that I washed the last section of the wings with a second coat of the wash giving a darker color and creating contrast between the sections. I think that washing twice is quite a useful tool so keep it in mind.

Speed Painting

     On the 27th there was a speed painting competition in my home town hobby center. It was organized mainly by Arbal from Coloured Dust with help of Grajfer, Minion Studio, Twierdza Toruń and me! The goal of the competition was to paint a Sea Guard High Elf in 2 hours. There were three different awards. There was the Master Award chosen by the jury which was Arbal and me. There was the Painters' Choice Award. Every contestant could choose two models he liked the most anonymously. The one with the most votes wins. And there was a Special Award chosen by a sponsor.

    There were a total of eleven contestants. For the Painters' Choice they chose Tomasz Cyrek aka RatChatcherPL. He went with a bit different approach and painted the Sea Guard in more of a Dark Elf style I would say. Plus his execution was really smooth. I think we have a growing talent here in Toruń.

The special award went to Michał Jędrzejewski, his painting was really good. He came for this competition specially from Włocławek. He didn't leave disappointed. We hope to see him again on the next edition!

     The Main Prize went to Tomasz Cyrek. Yes the jury chose the same guy that the contestants chose. He was really happy with his result and I must say he earned it. So start training your skills today, may be you will win the next edition!

    It was a really fun and pleasant event. What mini should we give to the contestants for the next edition?

Some High Elves

     Yesterday I was going through my hard drive and I found some old High Elves. They were painted mostly by my wife. We made this commission for a local Fantasy Convention in Poland. It was a promotion display of the new "Island of Blood" box set. I still need to find the photos of Scavens for you. What do you think of the color scheme?
