I'd be the first to admit that I have no  shortage of faults.  But if I had to pick  one, the one that's gotten me  into the most  trouble over the years... ...it would be that I sometimes get angry. Hellboy: Seed of Destruction, Mike Mignola Welcome all to The Art of Caesura! Hey Friends of the Caesura, I've got a new type of post for you today. Now, I wouldn't describe myself as having an obsessive personality (great way to start a post, I know) but every so often I get so excited about something that I just tumble into a rabbit hole of wanting to learn all about it! I don't think it's that uncommon really. Right? Right?! So my most recent rabbit hole is HELLBOY!! Today we're going to have a whistle-stop tour of Hellboy's resurgence into pop-culture! Hellboy is half demon, half human (witch). His mum was a descendant of King Arthur and his dad was Azzael, a duke of Hell. Although he was conceived in 1617 (Shakespeare's day) ...

Deep below the nightmarish, polluted hive cities of Necromunda, in the twisted, dark tunnels of the Underhive, rival gangs fight to the bitter end... ~ Games Workshop Salutations friendlies, and welcome to another week on The Art of Caesura! You can still hear the echos of our footsteps as we explored the bulkheads and scatter terrain littering the claustrophobic Underhive corridors of Hive Primus on Necromunda last week . This week we'll add some of the more exciting elements to this world.  Let's start with one of the most far out elements: the tentacle! Now for those of you who've been following the blog for a while, we're no strangers to tentacles - okay, that came out weirder than intended... I initially painted this tentacle the same way as the Conan ones: working my way up from Incubi Darkness, and keeping it darkest on the dorsal surface (the back). When I finished, I painted the manhole Leadbelcher, inked it with Nuln Oil and was gettin...

Each of these man-made mountains of plasteel, ceramite and rockcrete has accreted over centuries to protect their inhabitants from a nightmarishly hostile environment ~ Necromunda Gang War I Hey all, welcome to another beautiful Friday on The Art of Caesura! We're shifting gears again today after finishing out Silver Tower a couple weeks ago and then my first review  on the blog last week. Today we're setting the scene for Necromunda! I teased the fact that I would be working on Necromunda back in the New Year's post. My parents got the me the starter set for my birthday back in November, and I actually secretly started working on it over Christmas but then paused for Silver Tower and have only got back into it now.  To get us into the setting, we'll start with a bunch of the larger pieces of scenery this week, and next week we'll look at some of the smaller, more detailed pieces.  For those of you new to Necromunda (welcome!)...

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 fo...
