A thing a week 2025, week 31

This week we take a short break from our 2025 goals because, well, I had a need to paint something else this week.

First up we have a Duck-Billed Platypotamus from CobraMode. Did I technically need this guy? No, but he's been kicking around my prep table for far, far too long and since I'm at a point of cleaning the danged thing, I took the opportunity to paint him. My fantasy world is populated with silly double creatures like the ones out of Avatar so I got excited when I stumbled upon this guy. He's pretty simply painted in about  mostly with the airbrush. A wash on his bill and tail and a bunch of the normal brush-on details finished him off in about thirty minutes. 

These two are Weasel Witch Hunter Flamberge1 from Goon Master. It's super hard to get anthro figures for weasels which sucks because in my fantasy world, weasels are very common and well-loved by my players. The actual need for this week was we're having a special guest star playing the guy with the hat. The guy without the hat was printed at the same time earlier this year so I took the opportunity to paint him too. This is a great sculpt painted fairly quickly and I did not realize how glossy they'd come out until I was shooting. The base coat was provided by a mix of Pro Acryl Transparents and Speed Paint 2.0 and I've been trying to keep the low values in addition to the saturation for these kinds of characters. I think I got that but somewhere lost the really high values, especially on the reds. Still happy with the results here but certainly more work could have been done. They were completed in about four hours all told.
