After having pretty much a break from painting for about 3 years I've finally got the urge to take up the brush again! I sepose you could see this project as a "Dont stop painting or this will happen to you" reminder, It's gonna get ugly
...literally.
Anyway, picked up a cheap mage from the local store yesterday and put in on a base:

=) No, It's just a black undercoat, Merely wanted to present the project with a picture.
And I usually only meddle with GW figs so in terms of GW models I thought it was quite cheap =) forgive my ignorance!

A small update with skin and eyes, was hard to photograph because of overexposure so I apologize for the poor quality of the picture.
I'll start with Hair and metals tomorrow so hopefully a more fun update inc.

Nice and tidy on the eyes which is something I'm only just getting to grips with myself, not sure I'd go with a black though, what's your final colour going to be?
