My laptop, it lives once more. Finally, after a week of no computer and drowning my sorrows in nextflix. I have a new battery and a new ac adapter! *happy dance*
The foster puppies will not let me sleep in... at all.
As for mini painting I'm still slowly working on a few older Ral Parthas. Im trying to do a more neutral color scheme. Hopefully they will be finished soon.

Weekend Shenanigans
They are OVER! Thank goodness. Had a blast, and would love to do it again. LOJ was fun, but of the two days I would have to say the second was my favorite. Got a picture with a certain Myth Buster, dressed as a pirate. Once I get a the picture from a friend I'll post it.
Now I'm able to get back to some painting. Just pulled out 2 Ral Partha from the painting cabinet and primed them. I'm sad because the first coat on one became grainy.
Some thing that isn't so grainy - Meet Boris! I wouldn't want to go against him in a fight.

Bones are on the way!
Woo Hoo! One more day till the 4th of July, and all the fireworks (and drugging my poor, poor doggies).
So far the foster pups don't mind the fireworks. They are asleep on the couch and snuggled up to a slipper on the floor. They have both learned how to climb out of their pen. This just means i need to pay closer attention to what they are doing at all times.
Pixie has already chewed through one phone cord. Lets not make it more. Both Bebe and Pixie got their vaccinations yesterday, but this hasn't slowed them down one bit for playing. Pixie is a bit sore, but it is a normal reaction.
On a miniature note- I got my email confirmation that my bones will be shipped today! Pure awesomeness. All those lovely dragons to play with! I can hardly wait, but I will have to. Delivery date is on the 9th! The two bones pieces i picked up to practice on have barely been touched. Ive mainly been focused on all the other minis I had to paint.
A blast from last years past, A hasslefree mini! Who knows, maybe i could do a better job on it now? Any one want to commission me to paint one?
Jan just had his last final for the summer semester, another Woo Hoo moment. Only 1 more year *knock on wood* to go, until hes done with school and has a degree.

Succubus Reaper Style
Yet another day on the grind at work. Looking forward to this weekends festivities. Talking to friends the trying to knock out all the technical, who, where, when, and hows.
Baths can be so relaxing. Even on a hot muggy night. No painting this evening i think. its getting late and the one mini i started just isnt calling me. The cast on the face was very sub par and the pitting on the metal just turns me off. (I thought that i could over look this and paint it anyways, but at this point my will save has lost.) I think this will sit on my shelf of shame for a bit till i have a yearning to finish it.
Good news, i still have more minis finished that i post for your amusement.
BOOBS! Who doesn't like a good pair to look at? Hey look! She has some spots too. In hand there are a lore more yellows on her skin. They are not showing well in the photo.
Cheers!

Goblins O' MY!
And is another sweltering hot day in So cal!
Why cant is be a nice 70 degrees all year round?
Spent most of the weekend trying to stay cool in this lovely weather. I hope next weekend isnt as hot as this one. Wearing facial prosthesis and sweating will be uncomfortable!
So, we are less then 1 week away for LOJ http://www.labyrinthmasquerade.com/ where my bf and my self well be prancing around as goblins. We went to costuming about 2 weeks ago, so we know what we will be wearing, just no what we will look like. This should be fun!
Did a little bit of painting on a mini that have been sitting on my shelf for months. Its a tiny Tom Meier mini. I am no very good at painting the eyes on his modles since he already but the recesses in for the pupils. Im used to working on a tiny flat serface. So the eyes look wide and anime-ish. (no i didnt take photos. ((yet)) I will post on another day.
But I did finish a Airship Goblin Captain, in the spirit of LOJ. it was made by Center Stage Miniatures, another up and coming Company.centerstageminis.com
