Painting Marvel Crisis Protocol With 144Artist

Ghost Rider was one of the first Marvel characters I became aware of and even though I never really collected any of the titles he appeared in, I read a lot of the stories.  He was simultaneously scary and cool to a little kid.  Such a great visual with the flaming skull and wheels.  I tried to paint the chain glowing within, like lava.

Exodus is another character I only have a passing knowledge of.  He started up about the same time I got bored with where Marvel was going in comics.  I have little memory of what he did in the comics so have absolutely no idea what he does in the game.  He has that overly complex costume design of the 90’s but was fun to paint.

I loved this character in the MCU and the comics.  I found it interesting to see a rather two dimensional character from my childhood become something far more interesting than a Green Arrow copy.  I quite like how my yellows came out on him.

So Eva Bloodstone and Man-Thing have been painted for over a year at this point but have only just ben edited for posting.  Two more really fun sculpts with all kinds of organic details on Man-Thing. I may add more weathering to the stone column he is leaning against.  There is certainly lots of opportunity for weathering the figure.

My New Mutants affiliation grows with the addition of Sunspot.  He looks like fun to play.  He was fun to build and paint so anything else is bonus at this point.

As I noted so long ago in my last post, life certainly gets in the way of hobby time.  In May I found myself having to move house. Fortunately it was to a much bigger place even though that gave me some new challenges and a great deal of work.  I had finished up and photographed more minis before I packed everything away so plan to start back by posting those.

Thanos was one I wanted to enter in a painting exhibition so really pushed myself on the Non-Metalic Metal of his armor.  While I think it is among some of my better efforts, I really have a long way to go before I feel capable let alone competent.  I do feel this is a strong piece and some of my better work on MCP minis.  I’m just impatient to improve.  I will post pictures with his throne in the near future.

Here’s hoping I can start posting progress regularly again. I even have room to set up a game or two now so more pictorial possibilities.

Seems I have been double posting and repeating some of my earlier ones.  I apologize for the mess-ups. I have got to keep better track of my photos and postings.  I also want to go back to posting Table States from time to time.  I must admit that real life has gotten in the way as of late and having to behave like an adult really takes it out of me.

For now I have Warlock joining the collection as well as one of the latest affiliations, the New Mutants.  This will be a fun group and I look forward to seeing what Cannonball can do once he joins the game.

My SHIELD affiliation keeps growing and now has Nick Fury Jr to lead them.  This looks like a really fun affiliation to run. Like Guardians of the Galaxy this appears to have plenty of guns.
