Any Excuse for a Celebration...


"A caesura, 
also written cesura,
is a complete pause - "

Oxford English Dictionary


Happy Canada Day you hosers and welcome back to The Art of Caesura eh?!

I hope that you've all had great weeks and that you're all guzzling maple syrup! Excitingly, I'm getting married almost exactly a year from now but unexcitingly (though unsurprisingly) the weather in Ireland right now is crap - so hopefully it's better next year!

In other exciting news The Art of Caesura is half a year old! If this blog were a human he would have doubled his birth-weight, be able to sit up unsupported (like a champ), do that cute baby babble and he'd just be starting to get a bit of stranger anxiety. I know it may not sound like much, but lest we forget: he'd also be cute as hell!
I do not own this picture (or baby)
Likewise, 6 months of blogging may not sound like much but I'm going to pat myself on the back anyway for maintaining an entry every single week even with a super busy personal and professional life. 

I started this blog not really knowing where it would go, but knowing that it would be a nice weekly break in a happy, busy life. 

So to honour the half anniversary of The Art of Caesura I even created an infographic (because who wants words when you can have pictures with words in them!?)



Anyway, thanks so much for being a part of the past 6 months of The Art of Caesura! Looking forward to many more to come!

The Full Stop - Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood

The monstrous Deepwood has consumed the land.  No farms or fields remain. There is only corruption, rot and the endless shadow of the twisted trees. ~ Shadowborne Games Pot's Peace, Oathsworn. Welcome to The Art of Caesura! What's all this then, TWO posts in one day!? Well yes, you see timing is of the essence here. Today marks the 200th post of The Art of Caesura , so if you haven't had a chance to check out the celebratory post, please do so !  There is also a Kickstarter ongoing at the moment, that I am getting quite excited by, but it closes on Tuesday, so if I left it till next Friday to tell you about it...it would be too late! Hence, in a world first, two hits of The Art of Caesura in one day! Now onward, into the world of Oathsworn: Into the Deepwood !

"The Skinny" - Scale 75 Flesh Paint Set Review

The complexion of a light-skinned face  divides into three zones: The forehead has a light golden colour  because it's freer of muscles and surface capillaries. The ears, cheeks and nose all lie within the central zone of the face.  Those areas have more capillaries carrying oxygenated blood near the surface, causing the reddish colour... The zone from the nose to the chin (where there are relatively more veins carrying blue deoxygenated blood) tends toward a bluish, greenish or greyish colour. Some artists accentuated this subtle bluish or greenish hue to bring out the reddish lip colour. Color and Light (page 156) - James Gurney Welcome all to The Art of Caesura! So I finished all the models in Warhammer Quest Silver Tower!! Wooohooo!! Now for something a bit different!  This week I'm going to do something I've never done on the blog before: write a review!! I've been wanting to write my thoughts on  Scale 75 's Flesh Paint Set for ov

"From the City of Shadows" - Arkanaut Company (Painting - Part 1)

The City of Shadows has a dubious reputation  amongst the Overlords, often labelled pirates  or worse by other duardin of their rival sky-ports. Barak Mhornar - Games Workshop Welcome back to another Friday on The Art of Caesura! Let's pick it up from last week and dive right back in to the Arkanauts. Last time we saw them they were all grey and naked. No longer!! This is going to be part one of a two-parter on the painting of these guys before we look their bases and then at the finished Company in the following weeks. I was going to try to cram it all into one post, but wow there is a lot of detail on these guys, and we're in no hurry, so best to spread it out and give it all it's due.  Barak Zilfin Colour Scheme When the Kharadron Overlords first came out I was looking at all the colour schemes and thinking "man, Barak Zilfin all the way!  I mean look at all that copper!" But over the year, my tastes have...matured and I came to really
