Clash for a Cure Winning Entries

Back in September I attended Clash for a Cure and entered the COG painting competition and to my surprise received Gold in Open, Gold in Small Figure and Best in Show which also made me the winner of the Road to Crystal Brush 2015 for this event. I'm totally mind blown by this and excited to paint more minis! Here are a few pics of my entries. ...Oh, and I almost forgot. The diorama is titled "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios (Alternate Sculpt)

The Clash for a Cure was a Warmachine charity raffle Sept 12-13, 2014 to raise money for the American Cancer Society. This is year my painting contribution is this Privateer Press Eiryss, Mage Hunter of Ios (Alternate Sculpt) Press Ganger Exclusive. She will be at the event with lots of other beautifully painted minis contributed from across the globe. This is an annual event and well worth checking out if you will be in the area.   http://www.clashforacure.org/home.html  

The Making of Morvahna's Base

Entered this piece in the Lone Star Figure Show to receive gold in the Fantasy Open category. Created tree and rock base to bring this vignette together. Morvahna had better be careful of what is lurking in the shadows.

Privateer Press models included in this piece:
2 Trollblood Whelps
Morvahna the Dawnshadow
28 mm, Pewter

Stripped auto battery cable wire to expose tiny copper strands that I twisted to create tree branches.

 I used heavy acrylic medium with a little paint to cover bare wire and fill unwanted gaps. Also, painted the north side to resemble a bit of moss. Now to start adding foliage.

*SHEEW* (wipes forehead) that's a lot of leaves!!! Overall applying the leaves goes pretty quick with the use of some matte medium and a brush. The Secret Weapon Miniatures foliage is amazing and the perfect scale for this tree.

      Shots with added foliage.







    My first attempt at sculpting a rock base from insulation foam. Still need to paint in details and flesh out a bit.

 Final shots complete with Morvahna placed.
Enjoy!  "Morvahna in the Fall"
