Bunyip design

Up until now, I had never thought much when it came to the Bunyip. I knew the name and that it was a mythological creature, but I never really considered what it looked like. Having searched the net for pictures and descriptions, it is a rather confusing design due to different versions of it. I feel the need to design a character of one, but want to steer clear of the more horror/ugly designs (which is just about all of them).

The image will be of a sort of tribal/native/shaman like character who draws his power from the dreaming, the energy of dreams. As for which version of the Bunyip I'll take my designs from, I'm still not sure of that yet.

Endless Waves

Ok, so I may be a  little addicted to Dungeon Defenders. My Summoner is level 45 and still having trouble with some of the newer maps. Still, that's the fun of it, cause with each defeat I find ways to better my defense's the next time round. I recommend you try the demo and see if you like it.

White Dwarf n Chaos

The new look White Dwarf was released today and at the near same price as the old version, you get double the size. I have to say I am impressed by this new look and the extra bits n pieces they've added, though I fear a price rise in the near future may be inevitable. Also, damn those new Chaos Space Marine daemonic engines look good, just as I'd imagined what a like that would posses (ok, I'd imagined them to be far more horrific, but then you can't sell that to kids).

Forge World's latest releases have the Preyton, a chaos mix of Stag, Lion and Eagle, and yet nether. It's a scroll of binding monster and one that really appeals to me, as does the Warpfire Dragon and the Basilisk. Creature's like this really have that fantasy terror taste to them. I guess things like the Cockatrice and the Jabberslythe are also good Storm of Magic ones to add to my Tzeentch themed chaos army, perhaps like a traveling zoo or sideshow...who knows.

Zoggin Laptop

For some stupid reason, my laptops so-called shared graphics ain't so shared. Upping it from 2GB to 6GB did nothing. As if the constant playing up wasn't bad enough I lost the use of it over night. Oh well, gives me more stuff to update on then.

Great Spawn Designs

Spent my weekend in pain again as I did my neck/shoulder out. Still, was able to finish the planned design for the Great Chaos Spawn of Tzeentch.
The original design was more of a crazy design attempt with a more comical look. Again, I said I couldn't draw so forgive these bad sketchs.
This is more of the final design look for the spawn. The tail still needs some work as the prawn cross scorpion tail design still looks off. Otherwise, the design seems good enough to begin sculpting.

Todays Updates

I admit things are quite slow at the moment, but they are moving. I am currently still painting models and have begun to add text to the pages under the title banner.

I have also begun playing Dungeon Defenders on Steam (I'm currently a lever 10 Summoner) and am having a blast. Hopefully get some models done within the next week so I can start posting pics.
