The Bag

it's a big investment to get Obsidian a new engine, but I approve.

YES. The tone change in clone wars at the end, the soundtrack, it really adds to the impact of what is happening.

 

I'm now checking out rebels off the back of it. It seems a bit janky in comparison, but i'll give it a shot.

It takes a bit to get going, but then it starts connecting to the wide picture.

Just dropping into the thread to say. I just finished watching the clone wars, courtesy of a fourmite providing this link of Must see episodes to catch you up to series 7. I tried a few times to get into before, but never did. However, this curated list of episodes helped me really enjoy it, without the filler.

 

In Summary? I dunno what to say...the last series, and specifically the last 5 episodes, was the best Star Wars I've ever seen, ever. It's got me thinking about it even now.

 

So for anyone that hasn't seen Clone Wars? DO IT!

Those last few episodes of the Clone Wars are some of the best Star Wars moments imo.  As I said before in the thread the music change & sequence in the run up to

 is just perfection.

I’m watching Rebels now and would recommend it too.  There’s probably a watch list for it too, but I’m enjoying the sillier episodes too.  It’s got a lot more of the daily oppression of living under the empire.

@The Bag You're getting there. Do you paint with skin reference photos to hand when you work on skin?

Not for this one as kind of going for a bit of an unreal skin tone.  Still using the colour zones of the face to give a bit of life, although I have added any blue (beyond what’s already there) into the lower part.  I’m open to suggestions.

More work on this hunk of resin.  Trying to refine the skin a bit.  Not happy with the colour of the lips, tried a bunch & not happy with any of them.

Merc or at least whomever is running the social media has his back

I don't know if it just because I haven't played an FPS for a while but this game gives me motion sickness. Very cool though.

Me too, on Switch, handheld mode. I had to take a break every hour or so.

I had to turn the sensitivity & dead zones down on the sticks, I found it way too fast to begin with.

Nice to see Williams and Ferrari battling each other for points again, reminds me of the old days.

Started on the skin, blocked in some metallics, and glazed some incubi darkness into the shadows on the jacket to deepen them.
 

Sorry, totally misread the question.

@Hexx They are finite, but there’s no shortage of them.  I had almost 40 of the at the end of the game having bought everything I could, used all the altars, unlocked all the fast travel points, and fast travelled a bunch.

I always found things I needed a single blood crystal for (unlocking fast travel, drinks machines) usually had one fairly close by.

There is an information broker character who’ll sell you secrets, she contacts you after a while.

For those that are finished:

And finished, I fucking loved it.

Finding Bear in there was such a surreal moment, she’s Rachel & Oli’s dog 

@mdn2 any hint on finding why Lydia & Sam we’re meeting at the farm?

Only thing I need to do outside of finding evidence of a vampire before starting the trials.

Skull is looking great.  Maybe for the blue glaze some of your mid tone over it to lessen how white it is, and make it more blue again.

Last night I went back to the jacket and went with an aged leather look built up via layers of texture (black & ivory) and the layers of inks & washes (browns, oranges, greens), repeat.  Think it gives a good effect.

In tonight’s lesson, eye lenses for on of Abaddon’s trophies.

RIP

When she was married to Archie Stirling they lived in the village I’m from (or one of the places they lived anyway).  As a young child in the early ‘80s I made a run for it in M&S in town and was scooped up by Diana Rigg - my dad was very quick to assure my mum he can go retrieve me

On the pile of shame with the rest of the unpainted ones?

This is extremely my shit.  I’m not doing too much investigation atm, more throwing myself off roofs to collect things and finding Shinji in strange places.  Loving the soundtrack.  My friend Rachel as well as doing art for it also voices Starlight 

I’m about to sit down and start this, been looking forward to it for a while.  Oli, one half of the team that made this is my friend’s (& ex-colleague) fiancé so I’ve been following it for a while, really happy for them to see it review so well .

The other major thing I learned is that youtube mini painters are incredibly unimaginative in their colour choices.

you obviously haven’t encountered Craftworld Studios, you want colour they’ve got it.

Anyone else concerned at the number of times wheels are flying off this season? 

my thoughts exactly, the tethers seem to be failing way more often.
