The canvas gaming mat has been finished! It was pretty simple really. To refresh your memory, I started the mat here. After the acrylic had all dried and I was ready to continue, I gave the mat a generalized heavy drybrush of med-dark brown. This made it look more earth-like and less pastel-like. After that, to finish it off with a suitably-spooky ether-lighting effect, I did a light drybrush of some aqua blue. Then I trimmed off the excess bits of canvas.
The finished mat:

Finally, the only painted mini I have that has any aquatic themes. Suitably out of focus for this picture:
It's Fish-Head from the Mordheim Frenzied mob! I hope you like it! I am eager to get some DeepWars minis in a couple weeks, and to get some suitably aquatic terrain...
Speaking of which, Antimatter games is running another Kickstarter! Their last campaign, to relaunch ShadowSea, fell just short of its goal, unfortunately :( So, the fine folks at Antimatter decided to run another campaign to expand the miniatures range for DeepWars. They started with a lower goal this time, and have well surpassed that, getting funding for many new miniatures! As I type, they are just shy of 13k raised. The coolest thing though, is if they make it to 30k, they will build this terrain:
A wrecked sub! How cool is that, and massive too! Only 5 days left though, so they need some more supporters! Why don't you check it out, and pitch in too! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/524168246/deepwars-guardians-of-the-abyss-mini-kicker
came out really great. i especially like that it is very transportable.
ReplyDeleteThanks! For the small amount of work it took, it gave an awesome result. Just need to get some figures to paint up next...
