New Yooka-Laylee Trailer
New trailer is out and the game is coming out swimmingly. Givin the recent reactions of other games at the moment, this game appears to be exactly what we expect, a spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie. It's nice to see a game and forget about fancy graphics or complex gameplay and just see fun. A number of games seem to lack that feature.

August Project Update - Part 2
So quickly, the Skaven got a re-shoot and the new photo is now uploaded on DeviantArt. In the meantime, I am working on two short gags (one which is spending more time making it then the gag itself, but it's good practice with using vectors), so they should be up in the next week or so.
Along with them, I have already finished Old Cranky and am close to getting the Brutal Effigy done. Once I have the dried grass tufts, I will add them and upload that small Guild group shot with the others. Will also work on Jacob Lynch, Skith 2.0 (he's just about finished) and will work on completing my next Mousling project too. I want to get a number of shots done so I can upload them in one single session. Expect more soon.

Project Photo Post
So I got those photos done, I won't upload the Skaven one on DA until I finally get a shot that I'm satisfied with. That said, here is the current Skaven Age of Sigmar group:
However, I didn't want to just upload a shot of a complete project. As I've stated in the past, I have been working here and there between them in order to keep myself from getting frustrated with them. As such, here is the completed models for my Outcast collection:
My Guild collection (in preparation for my Wild Ones crew):
The Hungering Darkness:
And here are some of the more close to completion miniatures:
So I have been doing some work here and there. Perhaps I'll get some more done over the next few weeks (certainly after my assessments are done). I really need someone professional to help me with blending cause as you can clearly see, better quality photographs really show off just how bad I am at it and I've tried for years to get the hang of it.

Quick Update
So we had a Royal Show holiday yesterday and it gave me a chance to get some of that project stuff started. In preparation for the arrival of The Wild Ones box set, I've got all but two 50mm bases and so set them up with some wood putty and rocks for the base layer, with today adding the Cracked Earth citadel effect, which should be fully cracked tomorrow. Also got the Brutal Effigy's undercoat done too.
The Hungering Darkness is done (or at least, 'I've had enough' done) as is Miss Anne, though like the Guard she'll need dried grass flock before being complete. I am considering getting some Guild Hounds as not only do they work well with Iggy Pup (a.k.a Luna), but their armoured look really matches the style of the crews theme.
Got most of Old Cranky's base done (just needs flock) and he himself has the skin painted. Shouldn't be too hard to finish. Fixed Skith 2.0's arm, though it just doesn't look as good as the original conversion. Also close to finishing one of the Ronin and while my stockings blending wasn't great, it does look better then my first few tries. Happy enough to leave it and finish the rest of the model.
Gotta go out tomorrow to grab footage for part of an assessment, so should get a photo or two done and up as well (well, that's the plan at least). Also been thinking about getting one of those Wocom Intuos tablets, the $150 ones as that will probably help with no only study, but could also prove to be useful in other project ideas I have. Just got to decide soon as budget is very tight and I can only spend so much on study related items.

August Project Update
Oh boy, what fun we have with the little time we have. Yeah, fat chance much will get done.
So, Skaven wise, I have finished the Warlord, 10 Clanrats, the Ratling Gun and the Poisoned Wind Mortar (well, by finished I mean threw my hands in the air yelling "That's it, I'm done with this crap"). Should get photos done this week as there is a public holiday and it's a chance to get some things done.
Unfortunately, my flat mate ended up accidentally breaking Skith 2.0 and loosing one of his claws (he was just about finished too, just needed a touch up here and there). Unable to find that one, I'm now forced to come up with an alternative, given those claws came from a Hellpit Abomination arm I got from Ebay, which sadly there are no more available anywhere now. I have an idea, but we'll just have to see how that goes. I do want to eventually create a profile for the Skith character in my characters section soon too.
Malifaux wise, things are moving very slowly. My skill has really suffered over the last year or so and I can't tell if it's my brushes, my paints, my lighting or me. Both the Outcasts and Arcanists have come to a stop, having tried to practice painting stockings and failing each time. Once I've worked out an alternative, I should get those back into gear (still need to get the plastic strips for the Arcanists floor boards). I've worked on the Hungering Darkness (for the third time) and have decided that no matter what I do, he is going to look terrible, so I'll just do a wash or two in some spots and give up on him. I hate to do so, but nothing is working and I'm not in the best mental state to cope with this. That said, I'm hoping the rest will work out better, despite the crappy bases I've made (though I did miss making one by mistake).
Positive side, both Old Cranky (a much needed defensive totem for my Gremlins) and the Brutal Effigy has arrive. Given I've nearly finished two Guild Guard and Miss Anne Thrope, it should round out my crew. Oh yeah, forgot to mention that I did decide to order that Nightmare set (along with the Gremlin book and the free Miss Fire model....gotta love those Miss models) and these models will round out that crew for 50ss (with upgrades and extra soul stones). Once I get some dried grass tuffs from my local store in the next week or so (they have to order it) I can start getting some shots done. When they show up it'll probably give me the motivation to work on them. That or they'll show up during my assignment period and irritate me that I have no time to work on them.
Oh well, who knows, might do an unboxing video or something. Seems a good way to practice some video editing for my studies.

A Thought Occurred To Me
Been watching the intros for various cartoons over the last 40 years and a thought suddenly struck me....
....How come we never had a cross over between The Tick and Freakazoid?
