Curt’s Basement

And here’s why.

I’m no master artist or anything, and this picture isn’t even that great, but it was so comfortable to draw, I’d even hazard to say that it’s even better than paper!

Capcom has put up an official art site for Okami to celebrate it’s re-release on the Wii. Check it out here.

I quite liked the game when I played it on the PS2, but always thought it’d be better on the Wii. I can’t wait to try it on said console.

Well I commented in Curts 1st post that I would post pictures of the progress on this end. I have to say it has been pretty fun tossing our techniques back and forth and actually seeing results. I am so jealous of the primer spray Curt had but will so be buying one next time

So here is the setup that I am currently working with. I pretty much kicked everyone from the kitchen table and confiscated it for the greater good that is miniature painting. I typically used my computer desk but me and Marie are sharing it right now for office space so that is a no go.

Here are some pictures of my figures in various angles. There is quite a bit of detail, some of which I have no even got to yet like skulls hanging from their belts. But it give you an idea. I probably plan to drybrush some blood color on a few of the orcs blades, that should give them a more menacing (as if the severed head on the belt was not enough) look. I have 34 Orcs, 34 Empire soldiers, Cavalry, Wagons, Artillery and much more to paint so it is gonna take some time lol

I have learned a lot though in the past day about various brushes and what works well with what. Also coloring and inking are quite cool but difficult to implement at times. I would say the hardest part so far is painting the tiny studs in the armor as well as the leather ties on the back of their uniforms as it is such a tiny area. Go fine brush go!

And last but not least Warhammer Fantasy is endorsed by my cat Eigan. Cats are indeed wise

This guy is an amazing artist. He only uses a pencil, photoshop and an optical mouse. I found him in this forum post, but he also has a big portfolio in his deviant art page.

Click on the links, come on… I dare you.
