Castle Ravenloft

The crypt door opens, revealing a dark and musty chamber. Coffins line the walls. A distinct chill is felt as you step across the threshold... Ravenloft is an interesting D&D setting. Having never played much with it, I do like the theme. Thus it is that the D&D Adventure system (i.e. DM-less dungeon crawl) allowed me to explore Count Strahd's castle. And the first step, of course, was to paint the castle's denizens.

Lord of the Rings - Journeys in Middle Earth

Lord of the Rings - Journeys Through Middle Earth I began with the monsters, working my way through using Sorastro on Youtube as a guide, and also cutting the process down to a simplified minimalistic base coat wash combined for the Ruffians, Goblins, and Orcs.

After that I spend some more time on the more powerful monsters, focusing on the undead spectral glow, the fur coat of the wolves, and the skin on the Ogre.

This was in part because the game creator modeled the German units out of blue/grey plastic. Also partly because I happened to like the colors.
